Kortrijk - Zulte Waregem

Sunday, 6 September 2026, marks a pivotal matchday 5 clash at the Guldensporenstadion as Kortrijk host Zulte Waregem in the Belgian Pro League. The hosts enter this encounter eager to reverse a difficult start to their campaign, having suffered consecutive defeats against Sporting Charleroi and Anderlecht. With Marko Ilic expected to anchor the defence alongside Gilles Ruyssen and Boris Lambert, Kortrijk will look to find the attacking rhythm provided by Goduine Koyalipou and Thierry Ambrose to secure their first points of the season.

Zulte Waregem arrive in significantly better form, buoyed by a convincing 4-0 victory over SK Beveren and a hard-fought draw against Westerlo. The visitors, led by the expected attacking quartet of Istvan Atrok, Anosike Ementa, Tobias Hedl, and Marley Ake, have proven difficult to break down recently. Their last league meeting in February 2023 ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw, and another competitive battle is anticipated as the visitors aim to maintain their momentum.
