Match summary

Zulte Waregem vs Gent takes place at the Elindus Arena on Saturday 10 October 2026 in Matchday 8 of the Belgian Pro League, and our model leans towards a Gent win, with Zulte Waregem or Gent to win (no draw) as the double chance.

Why this pick?

Our model makes Gent the pick mainly because it rates them the stronger side: they sit above the Belgian Pro League average on our strength rating, while Zulte Waregem fall below it. Gent's season backs that up — second in the table, unbeaten in seven, with only four goals conceded. The clearest argument on the other side is home advantage, since Zulte Waregem beat Gent 4‑1 at the Elindus Arena in their most recent meeting there. Even so, the reasons for Gent outweigh that one: Zulte Waregem have been conceding a good share of clear chances, while Gent give up very few. The call is narrow.
