This event is for the upcoming Belgium Pro League game, scheduled for Sunday, September 6, 2026 between KV Kortrijk and SV Zulte Waregem.
KV Kortrijk host SV Zulte Waregem in the heated West Flanders derby (Vlasico) for the first time in over three and a half years, with Zulte Waregem entering unbeaten after four matches (two wins, two draws) while sitting sixth in the Jupiler Pro League standings. Kortrijk, newly promoted or struggling at the bottom with zero points from four straight defeats and a -9 goal difference, face intense pressure to secure their first result of the campaign at home. Zulte Waregem’s solid defensive record and attacking output contrast with Kortrijk’s leaky defense and multiple changes to the lineup following a midweek loss at Anderlecht. Historical head-to-head encounters frequently produce draws, and the tense, physical nature of this local rivalry—combined with Zulte’s measured approach away from home—supports the market’s view of a low-scoring stalemate as the leading outcome, with home desperation providing Kortrijk a realistic path to points over an outright win for the visitors.
