Anderlecht have established strong defensive stability at home this season, earning seven points from a possible nine at Lotto Park and conceding only one goal in three matches. Zulte Waregem sit just one place and one point ahead in the standings, but their momentum was slowed by a 1-0 loss to Charleroi last time out. Although the visitors are unbeaten away from home, Anderlecht's domestic home form provides solid backing to take at least a point from this fixture.
