The previous cup match against Cercle Brugge was canceled due to bad weather conditions and security reasons at Regenboogstadion (Rainbow stadium), but tomorrow night we expect one more league match against KVC Westerlo. In the first match at the beginning of the season Zulte won against tomorrow opponent as guests 2:1 and that was their first league victory after 3 draws and one loss. Essevee had a great moment with ten men against Racing Genk last weekend. They won deserved point from the hell at the Cristal Arena in 2:2 draw. The cancellation of the cup game has postponed suspensions of Hyland and D`Haene and both players will not be in the team for the game against Westerlo. Essevee have very good record at home and only Anderlecht and Club Brugge at home have better results. Zulte Waregem are on fifth place currently with 2 points less than Germinal Beerschot. In Essevee are not available Minne, Matton, and Meert Waeghe but besides them, others are with the team.
Westerlo is defensively oriented team away from home
Just a few days after the cup victory against Mons, Westerlo have one more game against Zulte Waregem. They have won against Mons at home 3:1 and players are tired. Away from home, Westerlo won twice from nine played games. Their main power is at home ground where they won 3 games from the last 4 and lost only against strong Anderlecht 0:2. Westerlo are currently ninth on the table without worries about relegation and promotion. Compared with the previous game against Mons, Westerlo can again count on Jaime Ruiz. Also Iakovenko is ready to play, along with Ceesay. Van Asten and Corstjens Modubi are unavailable due to injury. This is important game for visitors and they will try to avoid defeat and continue with good results but against Zulte that will be tough task.
Home win with one goal margin
Zulte Waregem are great at home and with 6 wins from 10 games they are clear favorite in this clash. Weather conditions could be decisive fact in this encounter but in such situations usually home team has more success. Westerlo have problems to win but also they are tough team and it is not easy to defeat them. With strong defensive line and chances from counter attacks everything is possible but still, I believe in minimal home win.
