Zulte Waregem – KVC Westerlo

Zulte Waregem host KVC Westerlo in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the middle of the table, with the home side sitting fifth on 11 points after three wins, two draws and a single loss, boasting a solid 10‑4 goal difference. Westerlo, languishing in 13th place with seven points from two victories, one draw and three defeats, have a less flattering 13‑16 goal balance and will need to tighten up at the back to trouble the hosts. Both teams have shown contrasting recent form – Waregem’s unbeaten run in their last five matches contrasts sharply with Westerlo’s erratic results. The encounter could see Waregem look to extend their lead over the chasing pack, while Westerlo will be desperate to claw back into the safety zone.
