Zulte Waregem – Gent

Zulte Waregem host second‑placed Gent in what promises to be a decisive clash in the top half of the table. The hosts sit fifth with 11 points from three wins, two draws and a single loss, boasting a solid 10‑4 goal difference, while Gent have already amassed 16 points, remaining unbeaten with five victories and a draw and a superior 11‑3 margin. The two sides have already met earlier in the season, and the result could shift the balance of power as Gent look to extend their lead and Waregem aim to close the gap on the leaders. Both teams will need to stay compact at the back and capitalize on their attacking chances if they are to walk away with three points.
