- Union press high and look to win the ball back as high up the field as possible before exploiting the opposition in transitions with rapid vertical play.
- Union SG have been in average form over their last five games in all competitions (W1, D2, L2), but they’re top of the First Division A table with 38 points from 18 games, whereas Zulte-Waregem sit 10th with 23 points from 18 matches.
Zulte-Waregem
- Zulte-Waregem have three draws and no losses from their last three First Division A road games.
- Sven Vandenbroeck is the opposite kind of coach in every way.
- He plays his Zulte team with patience and possession, looking to exploit the opposition at the right moments and keeping his players and team compact and disciplined at the back.
- Zulte have drawn five consecutive games in a run which demonstrates their stubbornness but also lack of a finishing touch to get over the line.
