Zulte-Waregem vs RSC Anderlecht: match statistics
RSC Anderlecht, despite poorer recent form (0.8 PPG), holds a decisive advantage in possession (55% vs 47%) and occupies a significantly higher league position (4th place vs 12th place). Zulte-Waregem shows better form in their last five matches (1.2 PPG) and has a positive goal difference at home (+2); however, their shooting accuracy is only 10%. Anderlecht is characterized by a higher average xG (1.47), and despite their away struggles (50% defeats), their squad quality and experience should prevail. The hosts keep a clean sheet in 25% of their home matches, which suggests a draw is possible, but considering Anderlecht's class, I expect them to secure a victory in a closely contested match.
