Club Brugge and Zulte-Waregem meet so often it is beyond counting, and the visitors have almost never let it slip. Their last meeting ended 4-3, Club Brugge edging it narrowly, but this time the game may not be that close, because Zulte-Waregem are in a spell where their defence has problems, while Club Brugge arrive in the hottest form in the league. The hosts have lost several league games in a row, especially the latest one, a 0-3 at home. A defence that used to be tight has become leaky, and the goals conceded between the 31st and 45th minute make up 25% of all they have conceded, reflecting that they often fail to settle in the first half. Club Brugge, meanwhile, have won five in a row, scoring heavily and conceding very little. Their relentless pressing attack leaves opponents almost no chance to get forward. If Club Brugge score first from the pressure they apply early, Zulte-Waregem, short on confidence, may open up and get hit again through the gaps in the middle. A scoreline that stretches away is therefore a more reasonable picture than a game that has to be sweated over until the final second.
