General match analysis
KAA Gent are second in the table and remain unbeaten after 7 matches, while sixth-placed Zulte-Waregem have a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. The gap in form is clear: the visitors have won 4 of their last 5 matches, conceding 3 goals, while the hosts have won just once and conceded 8. Zulte-Waregem do average 2 goals and create chances worth 1,55 xG at home, however, so they can pose a threat to their opponents’ defence. Gent also average 2 goals away from home, despite a lower xG of 1,18, highlighting their clinical finishing but limiting confidence in the prediction. With both sides conceding an average of 0,67 goals in their respective home and away matches, Gent’s more consistent form points to an away win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Both teams have scored in every match they have played so far, with average scoring figures of 1.75 and 2.00 goals respectively. Zulte-Waregem create chances at home with an average xG of 1.57, while Gent allow opponents an xG of 1.48, pointing to a home goal. The visitors have averaged 1.8 goals in their last five matches, while the hosts have conceded 1.6 over that period, making a Gent goal likely as well. However, caution is warranted given that Gent have conceded an average of just 0.6 goals in their last five matches and Zulte-Waregem have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their games. Despite these caveats, BTTS - Yes is slightly more appealing, although the edge over the scenario in which at least one team fails to score remains marginal.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
At least two goals were scored in 75% of Zulte-Waregem’s matches and 100% of Gent’s, making Over 1.5 the strongest signal. Both teams have scored in every match they have played so far, although over their last five games the hosts averaged 1.0 goals and the visitors 1.8. Zulte-Waregem’s attacking potential is reflected in an xG of 1.57 and an average of 5.75 shots on target; Gent have an xG of 1.18. The forecast of 2.70 goals points to Over 1.5, but higher goal lines are less reliable: neither team has yet been involved in a match with four goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A half-time draw is likely, as Zulte-Waregem were level at the break in 75% of their home matches, while recent half-time draws occurred in 50% of the hosts’ games and 60% of Gent’s. The visitors could gain the upper hand after the break: they won the second half in 80% of their last five matches, compared with just 25% for the hosts. Gent have won four of their last five games, conceding an average of 0.6 goals, whereas Zulte-Waregem have won only once and conceded an average of 1.6 goals. The main argument against this pick is that the hosts have won all four of their previous home matches, so I rate the scenario of Gent leading at the break lower than a draw at half-time followed by an away win.
