Zulte-Waregem host Gent in the Pro League, with the home side on 11 points from 7 matches, sitting 6th, while the visitors have collected 19 points from the same number of matches, sitting 2nd in the table. In this game the home side need points to move up from mid-table, while the visitors want to maintain their own rhythm of collecting points. Zulte-Waregem lost 0-3 in their previous league match and have lost 3 in a row. Their defence has been clearly leaky of late, while Gent are still unbeaten in the league across all 7 matches, with 6 wins and 1 draw, scoring 13 and conceding just 4. They are a team whose attack and defence work in harmony. From the expected line-ups, Gent are likely to set up in a 3-4-2-1 with Josue Vergara as the lone striker, with Michel Ange Balikwisha and Momodou Lamin Sonko operating behind him, while Zulte-Waregem are expected to use a 4-3-3 and open up attacking. The home side's first halves at home usually feature goals, but the second half could change the picture, because Gent often score late in games.
