Down & Out: Zulte Waregem defenders have finding life tough recently

"Francky Dury's hosts have seen 8/9 home games deliver Over 2.5 Goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.728/11 in Zulte-Waregem v KV Mechelen

Strong attacks meet weak defences in Belgium this afternoon and Tobias Gourlay's getting excited

Zulte-Waregem v KV Mechelen
Sunday 19:00

PSV 2 Heracles 0 in the Netherlands last night.

No dice, but we're staying in the Low Countries today, and aiming high once again.

Seventh in Belgium's 16-team Jupiler League, Zulte-Waregem have the second worst defence of anyone outside the bottom four. The worst defence of anyone outside the bottom four belongs to KV Mechelen, who just happen to be on their way to Waregem this afternoon.

Earlier this season, the reverse fixture finished 4-3 to Zulte, while this very fixture ended 3-2 in Mechelen's favour last term. We're confident of more goals today.

Francky Dury's hosts have seen 8/9 home games deliver Over 2.5 Goals. Aleksandar Jankovic's Mechelen have recently helped five straight away games through the same barrier. They've scored themselves in 9/10 on the road and can do their bit to lift this match over the line.
