Zulte-Waregem W vs Standard Liege W - Super League Women

Few would have predicted the narrative arc that brings Zulte-Waregem W and Standard Liege W together at the home ground on September 26, 2026, and the underdog storyline only adds to the Super League Women occasion.

The standings paint a clear picture: Zulte-Waregem W in 7th, Standard Liege W in 5th, and both keen to climb. Zulte-Waregem W are still searching for momentum, LL in their last five and a season win rate of just 0%. The visitors have been a steady presence on the road, W in their last five and a campaign win rate of 50%. The contrast in attacking output — 0.5 versus 1 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. If he finds a way of those three players gelling and playing together - making one of them run in beyond - then Chelsea will have a very good season.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Zulte-Waregem W and Standard Liege W have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. Amad won possession in the PSG half before laying the ball off for Bryan Mbeumo to score.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. The ex-AC Milan midfielder superbly set up Ait-Nouri's opener before he restored City's lead with a fine low finish across goal from Semenyo's inventive backheel assist.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Given the balance of the numbers, Standard Liege W look capable of springing a surprise on the road — a 1-2 away victory is a distinct possibility. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Super League Women standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. Fulham's Antonee Robinson could be one of those, who would likely be a cheaper alternative to Hall, who has just enjoyed a breakout season with the Magpies.
