Zulte Waregem vs Gent Prediction

Zulte Waregem host Gent at Elindus Arena on 10 October 2026 at 21:45 in a Jupiler Pro League clash between a resurgent home side and an away team in exceptional form. Waregem have won four of their last ten matches and concede just 1.30 goals per game at home, though back-to-back defeats to Charleroi and Anderlecht have stalled their momentum. Goalkeeper Louis Bostyn's injury against Anderlecht means Brent Gabriel will likely start. Gent arrive unbeaten in their last ten outings with seven wins, averaging 1.70 goals per match and just 0.70 conceded. The visitors scored twice in a 2-1 win over Standard Liege and pose a genuine attacking threat, though Mouhamed Ngom carries a knock from that fixture.

Form and H2H

Waregem's home record stands at 40% wins over ten matches with an average of 1.59 goals for and 1.30 against. Gent's away form is superior: 70% wins, 1.70 goals per game, and a miserly 0.70 conceded. The head-to-head record between these sides favours Waregem, who have won three of the last six meetings, though Gent's current trajectory suggests a shift in the balance. Gent average 3.25 total goals per match in recent fixtures, a figure that reflects their attacking potency and Waregem's defensive vulnerabilities when pressed.

Best Bet

Waregem 2-2 Gent. The draw holds genuine appeal given Waregem's home solidity and Gent's inability to convert dominance into clean sheets. Both teams will score; Waregem's front line has averaged 1.59 goals at home while Gent concede regularly on the road. A 2-2 scoreline balances Waregem's defensive discipline with Gent's attacking threat and recent form. At Melbet, the draw pays 3.42, with 1xBet offering 3.44 and 1Win at 3.28.

Odds to Watch

Over 2.5 goals is the secondary angle. Gent average 1.70 goals away and Waregem 1.59 at home; combined, that points to a competitive, open match. Mostbet prices the home win at 2.96, Melbet at 2.87, and 1xBet at 2.89, all reasonable if Waregem's home advantage proves decisive. The away win at 1xBet sits at 2.44, reflecting Gent's form but the difficulty of winning at Elindus Arena.
