Zulte Waregem's equivalent sample reads 10 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, with 39 goals for and 27 against. Some of those matches are friendlies from earlier in the year, so it's a looser picture, but the overall trend still sits behind Brugge's.

Brugge's underlying form looks noticeably stronger, even accounting for the different competitions mixed in there.

Comparative Team Statistics: Zulte Waregem vs Club Brugge KV

Head-to-head record

These two have met 20 times going back to 2017, and Brugge have the better overall record across that span. The two most recent meetings both went Brugge's way too, a 4-3 win in January and a 1-0 away win last August.

Zulte Waregem have had the odd big result at home in years gone by, but nothing in the recent meetings suggests they've closed the gap on Brugge.

League table tells a clear story

Club Brugge sit second with 21 points from eight games, built on seven wins and just the one defeat so far. Zulte Waregem are down in eighth with 11 points, having won three, drawn two and lost three of their eight matches.

That's a ten point gap after only eight rounds, which says a lot about where each side currently stands in the division.

That gap in the table lines up with the quality gap we're seeing elsewhere too.

Key men to watch

Á. Zalán has been Zulte Waregem's main source of goals lately with three in seven appearances, matched by Brugge's N. Tresoldi and H. Vetlesen on the same tally. Carlos Forbs and J. Seys have both chipped in three assists for Brugge, giving them more varied creative options than Zulte Waregem's top creator A. Ementa, who leads with four assists.

Forbs also picked up a red card in his last six outings for Brugge, so discipline is something worth keeping an eye on there.

How this one might play out

Brugge's recent run has included a Champions League trip to Inter and a home tie with Lens, so their squad has had plenty of football in a short space of time. That kind of schedule can occasionally take a little edge off a side on the road.

Zulte Waregem have shown they can find the net, scoring in most of their recent matches even when results haven't gone their way. Given the gap in quality though, it would be a surprise if Brugge didn't control large spells of this game.
