Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
All eyes will be on Elindus Arena when Waregem and Cercle Brugge face each other in the final game of the regular season. Waregem are desperate to avoid relegation to the Belgian second tier, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Since 15th-place Eupen take on Club Brugge on the road, the hosts should be happy with one point from the decider. A man to watch in the home team will be Zinho Gano, who scored a hat-trick in the 5-1 crushing of the Pandas, while both Kevor Palumets and Alessandro Ciranni are major doubts.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to secure a top-eight finish, but given the importance of Sunday’s clash for the hosts, we are tempted to put our money on draw. As for the visiting side, all Senna Miangue, David Sousa, and Edgaras Utkus have been struggling with injuries of late.
Highlighted Team (Waregem):
Over the years Zulte Waregem have established themselves as a top-table side in Belgian Super League. The Essevee are a product of a partnership between Zulte and Waregem and it has to be noted that Zulte Sportief were founded back in 1950.
Zulte Waregem impressed in the 2012/2013 Belgian Super League campaign, with the team finishing the process in second place in the standings, only four points behind champions Anderlecht. As a result, the Essevee booked their place in the Europa League group stages, but despite recording victories over the likes of Maribor and Wigan Athletic in Group D the Belgian side eventually failed to advance to the knockout stages of the European competition.
Zulte Waregem, who welcome their rivals at Regenboogstadion, will play in the group stages of the Europa League in the 2017/2018 season. Zulte Waregem, who won the Belgian Cup in the 2016/2017 season, will face the likes of Nice, Lazio and Vitesse in Group K.
