Zulte Waregem host a Gent side that has won four of its last five and conceded only four league goals all season. Zulte's early run was decent at home, but two straight defeats have left them short of rhythm, with no goals in those two games. Gent's compact 3-4-2-1 has been well…

Zulte Waregem vs Gent: Gent Unbeaten in Seven

Published Sat 10 Oct

Zulte Waregem face Gent in the Jupiler Pro League on Saturday, 10 October 2026, at the Elindus Arena in Waregem. The visitors sit second in the standings after taking 19 points from their opening seven league fixtures without suffering a defeat.

Gent concede under a goal per match

Gent travel to Waregem having conceded only four goals in seven league games, holding a goal difference of +9. Over their last five outings with chance data, they have restricted opponents to 0.74 expected goals per game while generating 1.19. Their away form reflects this defensive control, recording two wins and one draw from three road fixtures with six goals scored and two conceded, including a 3-0 victory at Cercle Brugge on 6 September 2026 and a 1-1 draw at Genk on 13 September 2026. Top scorer Josué Vergara leads the attack with four goals in all competitions, most recently helping secure a 2-1 win over Standard Liege on 18 September 2026. However, Gent must manage without three injured players: Lászlo Bénes, Matisse Samoise, and Mouhamed Ngom.

Zulte Waregem face consecutive defeats and 1.75 expected goals conceded

Zulte Waregem sit sixth with 11 points from seven matches, but arrive following back-to-back league losses without scoring: a 0-1 home defeat to Charleroi on 13 September 2026 and a 0-3 away loss at Anderlecht on 19 September 2026. Across their last five matches with chance data, they have allowed 1.75 expected goals per game while creating 1.46. Dirk Asare and Wilguens Paugain are ruled out through injury. The home side rely on top scorer Á. Zalán, who has three goals this season, to spark an attack that scored four at home against SK Beveren on 22 August 2026 and recorded a 4-1 victory over Gent in their previous meeting at this venue on 19 October 2025.

Our model leans narrowly towards a Gent win

Our forecasting model leans narrowly towards a Gent win. Gent's return of 19 points from seven matches and an away defensive record of two goals conceded across three fixtures support this view. Zulte Waregem have dropped points in their last two matches without finding the net, yet Gent's injuries to Bénes, Samoise, and Ngom, combined with Gent's 1-4 loss to Zulte Waregem on 19 October 2025, temper expectations for the away side.
