RSC Anderlecht vs Zulte Waregem
Match Preview
Anderlecht host Zulte Waregem on 19 September in a Pro League clash that already means plenty this early on. The Brussels side sit a disappointing 11th with seven points from five games under new coach Vítor Bruno, while Waregem, now led by Michael Beale, are unbeaten and up in fifth with 11 points. For Anderlecht it's a chance to settle a shaky start; for Waregem, proof their form is real.
Anderlecht's results have been mixed — a 3-0 loss at Union Saint-Gilloise, a narrow win over Kortrijk, and a goalless draw with Genk. Waregem have looked sturdier, drawing with Union and Westerlo around a 4-0 win over Beveren. Keep an eye on Thorgan Hazard, last season's top scorer now deployed as a false nine, and Jeppe Erenbjerg, whose stoppage-time goal sealed Waregem's fourth straight 3-2 win over Anderlecht last term.
Our prediction: 2-1
