Zulte-Waregem - Gent betting tips and odds

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Zulte-Waregem winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Gent, which is made quite clear with the 4.75 odds offered for a home win result.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 1.83 betting odds to win, Gent have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

Zulte-Waregem’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Mechelen . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 4:2 defeat.

Gent’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Sporting Charleroi. The 4:0 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

With 9 concessions over the last 3 matches, Zulte-Waregem will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Gent in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

The last time we saw these two teams go into the field together, Zulte-Waregem won with a considerable goal difference. It just goes to show that upsets can still happen and the 4.75 odds on a home win may not accurately represent the team’s actual chances of winning again.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.72, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
