Zulte Waregem vs Club Brugge KV Prediction: Odds, Tips & Storylines

Welcome to our Zulte Waregem vs Club Brugge KV prediction, where we blend stats, recent history, and a dash of betting wisdom to preview this Jupiler Pro League fixture set for 15:00 GMT on August 16, 2025. Whether you’re a seasoned punter or just here for the story, we’ve got everything you need to know about this much-anticipated encounter.

Back in the Big League: Zulte Waregem’s New Chapter

After a triumphant campaign in the Challenger Pro League last season, Zulte Waregem are back in Belgium’s top flight. Their 2024/2025 journey saw them net 55 goals under the guidance of coach Sven Vandenbroeck, usually lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. This tactical setup helped them bounce back after their 2022/2023 relegation, ending an 18-year stay in the Jupiler Pro League.

With a squad valued at €11.70 million, Zulte Waregem face a steep challenge against the league’s heavyweights. The club’s return to the big stage is a feel-good story, but their first home match is a true test of their mettle.

Club Brugge KV: The Powerhouse Returns

On the other side, Club Brugge KV arrive with all the swagger of a €170.40 million squad. The visitors are perennial title contenders, boasting depth, experience, and a recent history of success both domestically and in Europe. Their shock 3-1 away win against Atalanta in February 2025—despite being priced at 5.15 odds—reminds us that this is a team built for big moments.

Club Brugge’s recent head to head record against Zulte Waregem is strong. The last time these sides met, Brugge edged a 2-1 win. However, Zulte Waregem have shown they can surprise, as seen in their 1-1 away draw in August 2022, defying odds of 7.9 for a win. History suggests Zulte can rise to the occasion, but Brugge’s quality usually shines through.
