Both clubs enter the encounter with contrasting recent form – Zulte Waregem have managed a win and a draw in their last two league outings, while Beveren have slipped to a loss in their most recent game. The disparity in goal‑scoring averages (2.0 for Waregem at home versus 1.0 for Beveren away) sets the stage for a one‑sided contest.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Zulte Waregem draw no bet Won Strong · Home dominance

The model gives Waregem an 81.7% chance of avoiding defeat (win + draw), making the draw‑no‑bet market the most reliable option.

Show the maths
The model’s win probability for Wareham sits at 60.5% and the draw probability at 21.2%, together totalling 81.7% for a non‑loss. This combines Waregem’s 2.0 expected goals at home with Beveren’s 1.0 away expected goals, producing a clear 1‑goal advantage that fuels the high win chance. The defensive figures (1.0 conceded at home vs 2.0 conceded away) reinforce the likelihood that Waregem will stay ahead, justifying the draw‑no‑bet pick.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.6% model probability

With Zulte Waregem averaging 2.0 expected goals and SK Beveren averaging 1.0, the model gives a 54.6% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.4% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Zulte Waregem 2.0, SK Beveren 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.6% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.4% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Lost 57.7% model probability

Combined expected goals of 3.0 (Zulte Waregem 2.0 + SK Beveren 1.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 57.7% chance against 42.3% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Zulte Waregem 2.0 + SK Beveren 1.0 = 3.0 combined): 57.7% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 42.3% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Zulte Waregem at 60.5%, the draw at 21.2%, and SK Beveren at 18.3% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 10.0% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Zulte Waregem

WD

Waregem’s recent form includes a 2-1 home win over Genk and a goalless draw away at Union St. Gilloise, showing they can both score and keep a clean sheet. Those results underline their ability to secure points at home, supporting the expectation of a win or at least a draw in this fixture.

SK Beveren

L

Beveren’s latest outing was a 1-2 away loss to Antwerp, highlighting defensive frailties on the road. Coupled with a lack of recent positive results, this form suggests they are unlikely to overturn the home side’s advantage.

Head-to-Head

Head‑to‑head meetings have been mixed, with the most recent 3-2 win for Beveren in 2025 and a 4-0 victory for Waregem in 2024, but the overall trend leans toward Waregem’s scoring potency, reinforcing the draw‑no‑bet pick.
