Zulte-Waregem
-
Recent form:
- Zulte-Waregem have won only one of their last five First Division A league games (one win, four defeats).
- Zulte-Waregem’s winless run in the First Division A extended to three games when they were edged 2-1 by KV Mechelen in an away game.
- Sven Vandenbroeck has been in charge of Zulte-Waregem since July 2024 and his team play a flexible, but typically back-three or back-four system designed to get the ball wide quickly and create numerical superiority in wide areas.
Standard Liege
- Standard Liege have drawn two, lost one and won two of their last five First Division A games.
- Vincent Euvrard has done a solid job since taking over the reins at Standard Liege in August 2025.
- Standard have won six and lost seven of their 13 away fixtures this term, but they have split their last two away games (W1, L1) and should fancy their chances on the road.
Head-to-Head
Standard Liege will be another tough opponent for Zulte-Waregem to beat this Sunday, although the home team will be encouraged by the fact that the last two league head-to-heads between the two teams have ended in ties - the last one 0-0 three months ago.
Key Players
- Jeppe Erenbjerg leads the line for Zulte-Waregem and the Dane is their most reliable outlet in front of goal this term.
- The free-kick expert has netted nine times in 27 league matches in 2025-2026 and could be a threat again on Sunday.
- Standard’s main outlet is Rafiki Said who has hit five First Division A goals in 24 league appearances this campaign.
Betting Insights
- The recent history and form of these teams suggests the draw is the right choice for this weekend’s matchup at 3.44, with the odds for ‘Total Score Over 2.5’ at 1.99 suggesting there’s a good chance we will see a few goals in the game.
- However, the odds for ‘Both teams to score - No’ at 1.95 suggest one of these sides could keep the other out for the duration.
Prediction
Zulte-Waregem have lost their last three league matches and most recently fell 2-1 away to KV Mechelen, so we’re taking the 2-1 correct score for a home win this Sunday, with Standard having six wins and seven losses in 13 First Division A away games this campaign.
