Zulte Waregem hosts Waasland-Beveren in round 3 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Saturday, July 22nd at Regenboogstadion (Waregem)
Dury's men started the season with two defeats. Zulte Waregem feels a shortage of several main players, although in general the hosts have a good lineup. Nevertheless, they lost to Beerschot without any chances (1-3). Zulte was pressed to its box, and the fact that it managed to score is rather due to luck than a meaningful attacking game. Nevertheless, there is every chance to score the first points in the match with Beveren because Zulte's selection of players is much better than that of Hayen's team. Bossut, Zarandia, Demir, Opare and Bjordal will not help the hosts.

Beveren couldn't keep the winning score in the home match with Standard and generally lost (1-2), although it opened the scoring at the beginning of the second half of the meeting. Standard Liege put pressure on Waasland during the whole game, so the result is generally logical, but the weak game in defense caught the eye. Beveren has changed little since last season, and if it were not for the pandemic, then the team would have to start this season in the division with a lower rank. Therefore, the overall level of the team is clear.
The teams played three times in the last tournament, and Zulte Waregem won all the games. 5-0 home victories in the cup and the championship were especially confident. Now the squad of the hosts, although without depth, is still better than Beveren's. Moreover, the visitors will recover one day less, so I don't think that the balance of power in this confrontation will change much, and the victory of the hosts suggests itself here.
Prediction for the match: Zulte Waregem to win
