Zulte Waregem vs Gent Prediction and Betting Tips | March 12, 2023

Zulte Waregem will host Gent at Elindus Arena in the Jupiler Pro League on Sunday (March 12).

With six games to go, the hosts are unlikely to put their campaign back on track. Zulte remain rooted near the bottom of the standings – a place above the floor (17 out 18 teams). They're winless in nine games and are coming off successive defeats across the cup and league.

Essevee are not doing better than last season, when they finished 16th in the standings. They have won five league games out of 28, drawing eight and losing 15. They're also winless at home in their last five games. Zulte have prevailed once against Gent in their last five Jupiler Pro League meetings.

Gent, meanwhile, are seeking qualification for playoffs I of the top flight. They're already assured of at least a place in the play-offs II but competing in the former offers more chances of becoming the overall champion. Trailing the top spot by 22 points, the playoffs remain Gent's only chance of winning the title.

De Buffalo's are in fifth place with 45 points, which is exactly where they finished last season. They clinched the play-offs II to qualify for the UEFA Europa League playoff round. Gent lost to drop to the UEFA Europa Conference League, where they have progressed to the Round of 16.
