Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Zulte-Waregem in 7th and Genk in 8th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Zulte-Waregem and Genk.
Zulte-Waregem form and stats
When playing at home in the Pro League, Zulte-Waregem have managed 6 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games. Zulte-Waregem has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager F. Dury and the players.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. A. Sissako was the last player to find the net.
The Zulte-Waregem crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Genk here at Regenboogstadion in a Pro League match. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Cercle Brugge.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (22 in 10 games), Zulte-Waregem's attacking play is working. Zulte-Waregem have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Genk form and stats
Genk have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Pro League, after 2-3-5 (10 played).
