Stats for this game
Matchup Zulte Waregem VS Genk
Genk’s scoreline foundation
Genk’s stronger historical position is visible in results such as the 4-1 away win at Zulte Waregem on 14 August 2022 and the 2-0 home victory on 6 February 2022. A 6-2 away success on 31 October 2021 supplies an even wider scoreline, though those margins do not describe every contest. Genk also won 3-2 at home on 27 January 2021, keeping the overall direction clear across different scorelines.
Zulte Waregem’s 2026 response
Zulte Waregem’s 2-1 home win on 9 August 2026 is an important counterpoint, especially after Genk’s 2-1 victory at the same venue on 17 January 2026. Those 2026 results point in opposite directions despite identical 2-1 margins. The result gives Zulte Waregem a narrow response without erasing Genk’s broader balance. The pairing therefore combines a recognised direction with a scoreline capable of changing the emphasis. Future meetings can show whether Zulte Waregem adds weight to that response or Genk reinforces the broader balance.
