Zulte-Waregem (home)
- Zulte-Waregem (12th, 29pts) sit eight points and eight places below RSC Anderlecht in the First Division A table, but they have won their last two meetings with the ‘Purple and White’ and can make Anderlecht work hard for the win in this weekend’s clash.
- The hosts have won five, drawn three and lost four of their 12 home First Division A games this season, conceding just 1.17 goals per game on average on their own turf, but their form has been inconsistent of late (W2, L3).
RSC Anderlecht (away)
- 4th-placed Anderlecht (37pts) are the narrow favourites for this contest, but their poor away form and Zulte-Waregem’s recent record in this fixture suggest that they’ll have to perform at their best to leave with all three points.
- Anderlecht are a completely different proposition in terms of playing style and philosophy, preferring to probe and dominate the ball in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation to control the tempo and dictate the game.
Head-to-Head
Zulte-Waregem have won both of the last two head-to-head matches in First Division A, including a 3-2 away win six months ago.
Key Players
- Zulte-Waregem have won 2 of their last 5 league games, with Joseph Opoku netting three of their last six league goals, and they have an additional goal threat in Jeppe Erenbjerg (8 goals in 25 First Division A appearances this season).
- Anderlecht’s leading scorer this campaign is Nilson Angulo, with six goals in 22 league appearances.
