Match preview

KVC Westerlo host Zulte Waregem at Het Kuipje in matchday 4 of the Jupiler Pro League, with both clubs experiencing contrasting starts to the campaign. Westerlo sit at the bottom of the table in 18th place after suffering three consecutive defeats, during which they conceded 12 goals while scoring just three.

In contrast, Zulte Waregem enter the encounter in 3rd place with seven points from three fixtures (two wins and one draw). The visitors have displayed strong defensive stability, conceding only one goal in league play thus far, complemented by attacking contributions from Á. Zalán (two goals) and T. Hedl (two assists).

While Westerlo claimed victory in the most recent head-to-head clash in January 2026, current form heavily favours the visitors. With Westerlo's defensive vulnerabilities and Zulte Waregem's steady form, the away side holds a noticeable edge coming into this fixture.
