Zulte Waregem vs Antwerp: Top two tips

We bring you our best football tips today coming from the Belgian top flight. With one team firmly on track for promotion to the Championship Group, the other is fighting to stay in the Jupiler Pro League next season.

Away Win

Our first Zulte Waregem vs Antwerp prediction is to simply back an away victory. Despite an ever-growing injury list, Antwerp’s form has remained strong, collecting 10 points from a possible 15, scoring 10 in the process and conceding just two.

Antwerp won 1-0 when they met earlier in the season, and with the home side failing to win any of their last 11 matches, relegation looms if they can’t stop leaking goals. Waregem have conceded 12 in their last three matches, and even with top goalscorer Vincent Janssen likely to sit this one out with an injury, Antwerp should have enough to get over the line against a team low on confidence.

The reason for our main football betting tip is based on the fact Antwerp have won three out of their last five league games on the road. They drew away to Anderlecht 0-0 despite having 10 men for 30 minutes, as well as drawing 1-1 to Leuven after conceding a first-half penalty.

Both Teams to Score – Yes

Despite Waregem failing to win any of their last 11 matches, they have only failed to find the net twice in those games which were noticeably away from home. You have to go back to November the last time Waregem failed to find the net in front of their own supporters.

The home side have scored six goals themselves in their last three matches, and it’s worth pointing out they managed to put five past Eupen earlier in the season. Goals very much look to be on the agenda in this one, with plenty on the line. On the flip side, Antwerp have scored 53 goals themselves in the Jupiler Pro League, and Waregem will do extremely well to prevent them from adding to that tally on Friday evening.

Antwerp head into this weekend’s away fixture as the favourites to win, despite losing last time out against Charleroi. However, having won the last two meetings, it’s fair to say the bookmakers have priced this up correctly.

For more football betting tips on this game, we recommend looking at the over 3.5 goals market, which creates extra value considering Waregem’s leaky defence. Priced at 7/4, this has a probability of 57% of landing. This bet has landed in four of Wergem's last five matches.

Player to Watch: Zinho Gano

Despite Waregem struggling in the Jupiler Pro League, striker Zinho Gano has been a ray of sunshine. Having scored 13 goals in 33 matches in 2022, the Guinea-Bissau international has stepped up his game in 2023, returning nine goals in just 17 league appearances.

Currently the club’s joint-top goalscorer, Gano has scored in two of his last three home matches and the 29-year-old will be fired up after the international break to help keep his team in the league.

The good news for Waregem fans is that Gano only featured for 10 minutes during both matches against Nigeria when on international duty, and will return fresh and ready for Waregem’s relegation battle.
