Anderlecht (home)
- Anderlecht are in their usual fourth place in the First Division A 2025/2026 with 36 points from 24 games, while RAAL La Louviere are 15th with 24 points from 24 matches.
- They have no wins in their last five games, however, drawing one and losing four.
- Besnik Hasi has crafted a free-flowing, high-tempo team from a possession-based 4-2-3-1 formation at RSC Anderlecht, with a counter-pressing style that aims to stifle opponents and dominate in midfield.
- A couple of recent losses to Standard Liege and Racing Genk have left the hosts’ confidence a little shaky.
RAAL La Louviere (away)
- RAAL La Louviere have won two, drawn four and lost six of their 12 away matches in the 2025/26 First Division A season, scoring just 14 goals.
- La Louviere have recorded one win, two draws and two losses in their last five matches, which included a 1-1 home draw against Gent.
- The visitors set up to stay compact, look to win the ball in their own half and score on the break or from set pieces.
Head-to-Head
They did that well enough to beat RAAL La Louviere 1-0 away in the same match-up in the First Division A 2025/2026 two months ago.
Key Players
- Nilson Angulo is Anderlecht’s top scorer with six goals in 22 First Division A 2025/2026 games and has scored both of his team’s goals in their last two matches.
- Pape Moussa Fall leads the way for La Louviere with five in 15.
- Jerry Afriyie has chipped in with two goals in his last five for La Louviere.
Betting Insights
- Anderlecht are rightful favourites here at 1.77, while La Louviere are 4.6 outsiders and a draw is 3.5.
- A clash of Anderlecht’s possession-based, high-tempo soccer and La Louviere’s countering pragmatism could lead to a tactical chess match that should be played at a moderate pace, so Under 2.5 goals at 1.8 looks a value bet given the respective home and away records of the teams and the make-up of Anderlecht’s squad.
Prediction
- We’re going to back the hosts to take all three points, although a lack of momentum in their game makes it difficult to see a convincing margin of victory.
- Under 2.5 goals is the complementary bet to consider.
