Westerlo - Zulte Waregem

Westerlo face a critical test of their resolve as they host Zulte Waregem at Het Kuipje on 30 August 2026 for matchday 4 of the Belgian Pro League. The hosts are expected to deploy a front three of Norman Bassette, Shunsuke Saito, and Isa Sakamoto, supported by a midfield trio of Cameron Congreve, Cisse Sandra, and Reda Laalaoui. Defensively, Andreas Jungdal will look to provide stability behind a back four featuring Dylan Ourega and Seiji Kimura as they attempt to contain a visitors' attack spearheaded by Anosike Ementa and Tobias Hedl.

Zulte Waregem arrive in strong form, highlighted by a dominant 4-0 victory over SK Beveren last week. In contrast, Westerlo are searching for their first points of the campaign following a difficult run that included a 4-0 defeat at Lommel. The visitors will rely on the creativity of Marley Ake and the defensive organization of Louis Bostyn to maintain their momentum. With Westerlo holding the edge in their most recent encounter back in January 2026, this meeting offers a chance for the home side to find their rhythm.
