Zulte Waregem Preview – Can Zulte Waregem gain first home win?
A promising 1-1 draw away from home at OH Leuven earned Zulte Waregem a valuable point in last weekend’s season-opener in the First Division A and they now return home to their Elindus Arena for this upcoming clash against Standard Liege on Sunday.
Zulte Waregem have positive memories of their last meeting at home against their visitors as they ran out 3-2 winners back in February but Zulte Waregem finished the season in a mediocre mid-table position of 10th place after winning just one of their final six matches of the season.
This ordinary run of results also included four defeats in the shape of losses against Club Brugge 3-0, Anderlecht 4-1, Mechelen 4-2 and a 7-2 hiding at home to Gent on the final day of the season.
Standard Liege Preview – Can Liege open account?
Standard Liege achieved a 6th place finish at the end of the First Division A regular season which saw the visitors qualify for the Europa Conference League play-offs but a 3-1 defeat to Oostende put paid to any hopes of European football this season.
Nevertheless, Standard Liege also started this new Belgian top flight campaign in encouraging fashion as they earned a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Genk who finished in 4th spot last season, and the visitors will now head to Zulte Waregem for this Sunday’s clash in reasonable spirits.
However, Standard Liege will need to improve upon results away from home this term if they’re to challenge for a top four finish following just one away win from their last nine games on their travels last season.
