Established order
The broader pattern favours Anderlecht, whose stronger position is reflected in commanding results as well as narrow wins. Yet the balance is not absolute. Zulte Waregem’s 3–2 success on 18 January 2023 and 3–2 home victory on 20 October 2022 show that the challenger can overturn expectations more than once. A favourite’s reputation explains the starting assumption, not the finish, so this matchup rewards attention to the individual contest rather than automatic conclusions from club stature.
Upset evidence
Anderlecht’s 7–0 victory on 7 March 2020 demonstrates the upper limit of their advantage, while the challenger’s wins show why that margin cannot be projected onto every meeting. The most useful evergreen view holds both ideas together: Anderlecht set the reference point, and Zulte Waregem have credible evidence for breaking it. Another encounter can therefore test whether established quality is confirmed or whether the challenger creates a further reversal. That tension gives this pairing its analytical interest without adding an artificial backstory.
