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 8th and Gent in 9th place.
- Zulte-Waregem have the most conceded goals in the second half (37) in Pro League
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Zulte-Waregem can neither be promoted or relegated from Pro League. Gent are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Zulte-Waregem form and stats
Zulte-Waregem have played 16 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-8 (wins-draws-losses). Zulte-Waregem are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
Zulte-Waregem are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Mechelen. Previous to that game, a home match hosting AS Eupen in a game that was won 2-1.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Louis Bostyn had a busy but productive day in the Mechelen match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
Zulte-Waregem are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 16 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Zulte-Waregem defense is not exactly impregnable. 31 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Gent had fun at their own home (Regenboogstadion) last time out, beating Sporting Charleroi 4-0. Roman Bezus (2), Alexandre De Bruyn and Tarik Tissoudali scored. A 1-2 defeat away at Standard Liege before that.
As mentioned above, Gent was the only team on the pitch versus Sporting Charleroi in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
