OH Leuven vs RAAL La Louvière: Under 2.5 goals
Leuven host a struggling La Louvière side in a match dominated by defensive frailties, with the model assigning a 92% chance of fewer than two and a half goals. Both teams’ recent form and low expected‑goal values point to a tight, low‑scoring affair.
OH Leuven enter this home game having failed to win any of their last five league outings, while RAAL La Louvière have also gone four games without a victory. Neither side has shown the firepower to break through defensive walls, setting the stage for a subdued encounter.
Lars's Verdict
With a 92% model probability for the total to stay under 2.5, the match is expected to produce at most one goal.
Show the maths
With OH Leuven averaging 0.7 expected goals and RAAL La Louvière averaging 0.3, the model gives a 87.0% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 13.0% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 1.0 (OH Leuven 0.7 + RAAL La Louvière 0.3) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 92.0% chance against 8.0% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has OH Leuven at 40.9%, the draw at 44.9%, and RAAL La Louvière at 14.2% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 36.8% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
OH Leuven
Leuven’s last five league results are L‑L‑L‑L‑D, with a 0‑3 loss to Club Brugge at home, a 1‑2 defeat to Standard Liège also at home, a 0‑1 away loss to Gent, a 0‑3 away loss to SK Beveren, and a 1‑1 home draw with Cercle Brugge. Scoring only two goals across those games highlights a shallow attack, reinforcing the expectation of few goals this weekend.
RAAL La Louvière
La Louvière’s recent five results read L‑L‑L‑D‑L, featuring a 1‑2 away loss to Anderlecht, a 1‑2 home defeat to Gent, a 0‑2 away loss to Standard Liège, a 2‑2 home draw with KV Mechelen, and a 0‑4 away loss to St Truiden. With four goals in five matches they have shown limited scoring potency, which backs the forecast of a low‑scoring game.
Head-to-Head
In the two most recent meetings, the teams drew 0‑0 in December 2025 and La Louvière won 2‑1 away in September 2025, suggesting that clean sheets are plausible and the head‑to‑head trend does not contradict a low‑goal outcome.
