Zulte Waregem vs Gent Prediction & Betting Tips

Zulte Waregem vs Gent Preview

Zulte Waregem extended their unbeaten run to four matches before the international break after settling for a goalless draw against fellow newcomers La Louvière. Despite dominating possession for long spells, the hosts failed to create enough clear-cut chances, forcing the opposition goalkeeper into just four saves all game.

Still, there were positives to take from that performance. Zulte Waregem’s defensive organization has improved significantly, keeping back-to-back clean sheets for the first time this season and three in their last four matches. They’ll now look to build on that solidity and return to winning ways, as they continue their steady climb up the Belgian Pro League standings.

Meanwhile, Gent head into this clash on the back of a confident 2-1 victory over Charleroi before the break. The visitors were dominant throughout the game, controlling possession and dictating the tempo from start to finish. However, lapses in concentration at the back remain a concern, as they once again allowed the opposition a way back into the game.

Head coach Ivan Leko is expected to name a strong lineup as Gent chase a third consecutive league win. Their form this season has been somewhat inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and two defeats in their last five games, but they remain firmly in the top-four mix. With 17 points from ten matches, Gent currently sit fourth on the table and will be eager to close the gap on the leaders with another strong away performance.

Zulte Waregem vs Gent Prediction

Although both clubs are in top form, we back Gent to win because they won each of the last six meetings between the two teams. Comparing the two clubs overall performance this season, the visitors are also the better side, and we expect that quality to be evident in this game.

A scoreline with over 3.5 goals is expected because Gent’s last five games averaged 3.2 goals per game and the last six head-to-head meetings between the two clubs averaged 5.1 goals per game. This points to a high scoring result.
