Zulte-Waregem form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zulte-Waregem so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-7 (win-draw-lose). Zulte-Waregem seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Vossen scored in Zulte-Waregem's previous match, the home game against RFC Seraing that ended 1-0. Bock, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.65. Bock won 3 of 5 duels.

Prior to that match, the Zulte-Waregem manager fauw faced defeat when travelling to Kortrijk and losing 0-5.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Zulte-Waregem's match history for similar games we find five matches. The home team won four of these as expected, two of them by at least two goals. Zulte-Waregem managed one draw and zero surprise wins.

The visiting Zulte-Waregem have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 14 games. The Zulte-Waregem manager fauw has some worries about the defense as 31 goals have been conceded in these travels. Zulte-Waregem has visited these top teams four times, and 4 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!
