Anderlecht W vs Zulte-Waregem W - Super League Women

Anderlecht W prepare to host Zulte-Waregem W at the home ground on September 19, 2026, with both sides eager to assert their credentials and claim a result that could define their Super League Women season. Manchester United play in Gothenburg on Saturday as they take on Paris-Saint Germain in their fourth pre-season fixture.

Positionally there is a clear hierarchy: Anderlecht W sit 1st, Zulte-Waregem W lie 7th, but the Super League Women has a habit of defying such logic. Anderlecht W are operating at a remarkable level, their W run and a season win rate of 100% placing them among the Super League Women's very best. The visitors have found the going tough on their travels, LL in their last five and a win rate of just 0% telling its own story. Where Anderlecht W have leaned on defensive discipline, Zulte-Waregem W have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. In his latest column, Paul Merson predicts the 2026/27 Premier League season at both ends of the table.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Anderlecht W will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Zulte-Waregem W must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. Speaking in his unveiling press conference on Thursday, he said: Bayern Munich had attempted to sign Benjamin Sesko ahead of Manchester United, but a deal proved too expensive, according to cfbayerninsider.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. Do not rule out a move for a centre-forward too.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. On balance, Anderlecht W look well-placed to claim all three points, and a 3-1 home win would not come as a surprise. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
