Westerlo Team Overview
Westerlo are going through a poor run both in terms of results and defensive performances.

Their attacking threat remains intact: at home, Westerlo have scored in five consecutive matches, but they have been equally consistent in making mistakes at the back. Their league position means they need to start picking up points now.

Defensively they look solid too, conceding just 0.7 goals per game on average over that period, which reflects a balance between the lines and keeps them close to the leading group with their league ambitions intact.

Match Result Prediction
Westerlo have failed to win in 8 of their last 9 matches and have lost five in a row. This season they have yet to record a single win, home or away. Zulte Waregem, meanwhile, are unbeaten this season (two wins and one draw) and have not lost away from home either. This points fairly clearly towards an outcome in which Westerlo do not win. The Double Chance - X2 is available at 1.37*.

Both Teams to Score Prediction

Zulte Waregem are a high-scoring side, averaging 2.2 goals per game over their last 10 matches and 2 goals per game this season. Despite the visitors' solid defence, Westerlo's tendency to concede and the attacking threat on both sides make Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.45* a reasonable option.
Reliable Bet
Westerlo have conceded in 8 of their last 9 matches, and are also conceding an average of 4 goals per game this season and 2.6 over their last 10. Zulte Waregem are scoring consistently: 2 goals per game this season and 2.2 over their last 10 matches.

Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely outcomes are 1-1 (9.66%), 0-2 (9.11%) and 1-2 (9.05%). A draw with goals at both ends comes out as the most probable result, though a Zulte Waregem win by one or two goals is also rated as quite likely. The probabilities are close together, with no clear frontrunner among these three scenarios.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The match looks set to be a high-scoring affair. The trends point to an open game at Westerlo's ground: the home side consistently play out matches with goals at both ends and high totals at home. Zulte Waregem have shown attacking reliability against virtually any opponent, while the hosts' defence remains the most problematic part of their game even under the pressure of a relegation battle. Given the consistent both-teams-to-score trend in Westerlo's home matches and the visitors' strong attacking numbers, the main prediction is for both sides to find the net. Main prediction - Both Teams to Score - Yes. Score prediction: 2-2.
