Stats for this game
Matchup Zulte Waregem VS Cercle Brugge
Zulte Waregem’s slight balance
Zulte Waregem’s position is supported by the 3–2 result on 1 May 2026, but the 2–2 draw on 4 April 2026 shows why their edge remains limited. Another 1–1 draw on 29 November 2025 reinforces the shared side of the comparison, while Cercle Brugge’s 3–2 victory on 23 April 2023 provides a direct counterpoint. The scores favour Zulte Waregem narrowly without removing Cercle Brugge from the contest.
Cercle Brugge’s scoreline answer
Future meetings can ask whether Zulte Waregem will turn their slight advantage into a clearer result or whether Cercle Brugge can repeat the kind of reversal shown by the 3–2 score from 23 April 2023. The fixture has room for another draw as well as a narrow win, making the central question one of direction rather than certainty. Either club can give the next score a different emphasis. That mixture keeps the pairing open beyond any single date.
