Zulte Waregem, Recent FormZulte Waregem had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against RFC Seraing. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to RFC Seraing who had 6 attempts and 2 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Mbaye Leye will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 24 of their 26 league games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
When home matches come round at Elindus Arena, Zinho Gano will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Zulte Waregem's last 6 home league matches.
Kortrijk, Recent FormKortrijk will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Anderlecht last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 48% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Anderlecht, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Bernd Storck will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 11 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. It's an excellent time to be in amongst their travelling support, with the team finding the back of the net in 12 of their away league games this season.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Goalscorer Faiz Selemani will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Kortrijk.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Kortrijk who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-3 to Zulte Waregem.
The SVZW defence has struggled against De Kerels in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 games.
When playing away from home in the league, Kortrijk have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with SVZW, with the last 3 of those games ending in a draw.
SVZW manager Mbaye Leye has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Martijn Beernaert (Unknown), Wout Debuyser (Unknown), Modou Tambedou (Unknown) and Ruud Vormer (Broken collarbone) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Marko Ilić (Finger) and Oleksiy Sych (Ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Bernd Storck will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
