Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Elindus Arena will host Friday’s football game between Waregem and Kortrijk, the two bottom-table sides. Waregem failed to win the previous five league fixtures, and, as a result, they are still sitting in the relegation zone. Important midfielder Christian Bruls serves a one-game ban, while Ruud Vormer remains in the recovery room. Nicolas Rommens is banned due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
De Kerels, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with Anderlecht in their last league match. Kortrijk aim to escape the danger zone, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. You should bear in mind that 16 goals in total have been netted in the previous four meetings between the two sides in all competitions. Oleksiy Sych is sidelined with injury, while both Marko Ilic and Alexandre De Bruyn are major doubts.
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.
