Leuven enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Gent's place. The match ended 3-2 with K. Sowah (2) and M. Maertens scoring. Sensational by Leuven last match, beating Gent away as big underdogs. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting KV Oostende (1-3).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Zulte-Waregem might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Club Brugge proved too strong as Zulte-Waregem slumped to a 0-6 defeat in front of their own fans at Regenboogstadion. A 0-2 loss hosting Sporting Charleroi before that.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Club Brugge was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
