Genk – Zulte Waregem

Genk host Zulte Waregem in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the home side sitting eighth on nine points after two wins, three draws and a loss, scoring 13 and conceding nine. The visitors sit just above them in fifth place, having accumulated 11 points from three victories, two stalemates and a single defeat, while boasting a solid defensive record of only four goals conceded. Both teams have shown a similar propensity for draws, which could make the encounter a tactical battle rather than a free‑scoring affair. A win for Genk would close the gap to the top half of the table, whereas Zulte Waregem will look to extend their lead and keep pace with the league leaders.
