The Royal Excel Mouscron manager F. Da Cruz attacks this game with the team placed 14th so far. In the visitors dressing room Zulte-Waregem and their manager F. Dury are in 11th place before this match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Royal Excel Mouscron form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Pro League game of the season here at Stade Le Canonnier. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses from Royal Excel Mouscron's 15 home games.
The home team returns to Stade Le Canonnier after being equal after 90 minutes with Anderlecht (placed 5th) on their last time out; the Pro League game ended 1-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Mechelen (0-1).
H. Gnohéré was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Anderlecht after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
