RAAL La Louvière vs Kortrijk: Under 2.5 goals
RAAL La Louvière average 1.5 xG at home while Kortrijk manage only 0.0 xG away. Both sides have struggled to find the net in their last five matches, pointing to a low‑scoring encounter.
Both teams come in on a run of defeats – RAAL with a LLLDL sequence and Kortrijk winless in five – so the game is unlikely to be decided by a flurry of goals. Instead, the focus will be on who can break the deadlock first.

The combined expected‑goals of 2.85 and the teams’ recent inability to score suggest a sub‑2.5 goal result.

RAAL La Louvière
RAAL’s recent five‑game run includes a 1‑2 loss at Anderlecht, a 1‑2 defeat to Gent, and a 0‑4 drubbing by St. Truiden, showing they concede heavily while scoring only once in three matches. The lone draw (2‑2 vs KV Mechelen) demonstrates they can hold a game but still struggle to find the net, reinforcing the expectation of few goals.
Kortrijk
Kortrijk have been shut out in each of their last five league games – 0‑3 at Club Brugge, 0‑3 at Antwerp, 1‑3 against Charleroi, 0‑1 versus Anderlecht, and 0‑2 to Zulte Waregem – highlighting a pronounced inability to score on the road. Their consistent zero‑goal output underlines the likelihood of a low‑scoring match.
