Zulte Waregem – Union St. Gilloise

Zulte Waregem host league leaders Union St. Gilloise in what promises to be a clash of starkly different fortunes.

Historically the two clubs have met frequently, but Union’s recent dominance suggests they will enter this encounter as clear favourites. A win for Waregem could tighten the race for European spots, but St. Gilloise will be eager to extend their flawless run.
