Prediction Westerlo vs Zulte-Waregem season – Betting Tips for Pro League on 02/08/2025

As the Pro League heats up, fans are eagerly anticipating the clash between Westerlo and Zulte-Waregem on August 2, 2025. This match signifies a crucial point in the early stretch of the season, as both teams look to secure vital points to improve their standings.

Home Team Analysis: Westerlo

Westerlo enters this match after a difficult start to their season, having suffered a loss to Anderlecht in their opening game, finishing 2-5. Despite scoring two goals in that match, the defensive frailties were evident as they conceded five. Their attacking prowess was on display, with a total of 10 shots, four of which were on target—a commendable effort that, if replicated, could yield better results.

Statistically, Westerlo has a challenging path ahead. Currently positioned 16th in the league, they have played one match, lost one, and have a goal difference of -3. The performance against Anderlecht indicates they can find the net but struggle defensively—having failed to keep a clean sheet. Their performances at home will be crucial if they hope to turn around their fortunes and claim three points.

Away Team Analysis: Zulte-Waregem

On the other hand, Zulte-Waregem has experienced a steady start to their campaign, drawing against Mechelen. They currently sit in 9th place, having scored one goal and conceded one in their first match. With 21 total shots and five on target against Mechelen, they showcased a strong offensive presence, combining both precision and creativity going forward.

Zulte-Waregem’s recent form appears bright, having not lost any of their last five matches as evidenced by their solid display in multiple friendly and league fixtures. The statistics show a high attacking average, with 143 total attacks per game, suggesting they will pose a significant threat to Westerlo's shaky defense.

Head to Head & Betting Tips

Looking back at their last encounter, which ended in a 1-1 draw earlier in the year, the potential for another tightly contested affair stands strong. Recent form indicates that Zulte-Waregem could capitalize on Westerlo's defensive weaknesses, combined with their solid attacking output.

The current odds reflect this sentiment, with Westerlo offered at 1.72 to win, while Zulte-Waregem is positioned at 4.33. Given Westerlo’s willing offensive play but rocky defense, and Zulte-Waregem's ability to grind out results, a draw appears a likely outcome, especially with a probability of 26.32% for the draw.

Betting Suggestion

With the evidence at hand, a betting suggestion would be to place a wager on "Draw". This reflects both teams’ current forms, defensive vulnerabilities, and can provide a safe option given the odds for the match on August 2nd.
