Zulte Waregem vs. Standard Liege Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Zulte Waregem and Standard Liege, taking place on Sunday, 08 March 2026, at The Elindus Arena in Waregem.
Zulte Waregem, Recent Form
There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Zulte Waregem players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Mechelen. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Mechelen, who had 5 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Despite scoring 9 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 14 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Having clocked up 5 defeats from their previous 6 matches, recent form is something they will certainly be looking to change.
Marley Aké will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Zulte Waregem.
Standard Liege, Recent Form
Standard Liege manager Vincent Euvrard will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against La Louviere. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 11 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 games on the road.
Ibe Hautekiet will be hoping to create problems for Zulte Waregem in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Standard Liege.
Zulte Waregem vs. Standard Liege Head to head
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
The SVZW defence has struggled in front of its own fans when Les Rouches have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 meetings at The Elindus Arena. Standard have a good attacking record away to Essevee in the league, having scored a total of 7 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.33 goals per game.
SVZW has a poor track record in the league when they host Standard, losing in their last 2 home games.
