In the next match of the 17th round of the Belgian championship, Zulte-Waregem and Eupen will compete. Which of the fighters for survival will be stronger?
"Zulte-Waregem"
In the last round, Zulte-Waregem played with Mechelen, and was very close to a third defeat in a row, losing 0-2 after the first half, but managed to tune in properly for the second half, responding with two effective strikes (2-2). Before this draw, Zulte-Waregem lost twice in a row, losing 1-2 to Ostend and 0-3 to Standard. Modest point additions in the previous three rounds led to the fact that "Zulte-Waregem" dropped into the relegation zone, in 17th place.
"Eupen"
In the current championship, Eupen rarely spoils its fans with victories, but so far it is outside the relegation zone in the class, being located on the 15th position bordering it. In the last round, Eupen won an important victory, coping with Standard (2-0) on their own field. This victory was the fifth for Eupen in the current championship, and there are still eleven losses. As for the draws, Eupen is the only one who has not shared the points yet.
Statistics and figures:
- "Zulte-Waregem" does not win for three rounds;
- Eupen lost in two of the last three rounds;
- Zulte-Waregem won against Eupen in seven previous home matches.
Forecast
I propose to bet on the victory of Zulte-Waregem, which plays much better on its own field than Eupen on the road, and it's time for Zulte-Waregem to win in order to leave the relegation zone.
