In this week 13 match, on Thu Oct 20th, Zulte-Waregem will host Anderlecht at Elindus Arena in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Pro League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which is great football weather. Zulte-Waregem is fresh off their 3-1 win against Kortrijk. Habib Keita scored the first goal for Kortrijk in the 25th minute, but Moudou Tambedou got the equalizer for Zulte-Waregem in the 60th minute Finally they completed the comback in the 65th minute on a goal by Chinonso Nnamdi to cap off a wild match. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, 9th placed Anderlecht, recorded a 0-1 loss against Club Brugge. Marco Lund Nielsen scored the first goal for Club Brugge in the 69th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Anderlecht couldn’t manage to score, and Club Brugge took the shutout win. Anderlecht is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Anderlecht won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Anderlecht’s most prolific scorer has been Stroeykens. He has netted two goals over the last 5 matches. Casper De Norre and Jelle Vossen are the top scorers for Zulte-Waregem in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
