RFC Seraing, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for RFC Seraing supremo Jean-Sébastien Legros after sustaining a heavy 3-0 away loss to Charleroi. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 2 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Charleroi managed 13 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Legros will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 5 goals they've managed to net. He has a real defensive headache with his squad's inability to keep a clean sheet at home, having conceded a goal in each of their the past 16 games. So far in the league this season, playing at home has not proved to be an advantage for them when it comes to scoring goals, having failed to score in 7 of their 12 games at Stade du Pairay.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 9 of the first 12 league games at Stade du Pairay.
Zulte Waregem, Recent FormZulte Waregem were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Oostende. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Oostende's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They, for whatever reason, are unable to keep a clean sheet away from home, having not done so for the past 19 games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 12 this season, Mbaye Leye will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Zinho Gano will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Zulte Waregem.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-0 win for Zulte Waregem.

SVZW has won the last 2 games they've played against Seraing in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Seraing manager Jean-Sébastien Legros ahead of this clash, with Abou-Malal Ba (Unknown) missing out, which gives Legros a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Mbaye Leye has a number of injury concerns in his SVZW squad to contend with: Martijn Beernaert (Unknown), Wout Debuyser (Unknown), Modou Tambedou (Unknown) and Lukas Willen (Unknown)
