Where they stand. RAAL La Louvière has not started the league season yet. Full tables

The two sides

RAAL La Louvière carry a model rating of 6.63 against 6.87 for Gent. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

Recent form (most recent last): Gent W.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.44 goals for RAAL La Louvière and 1.69 for Gent. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

RAAL La Louvière rate 0.80 in attack and 1.23 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Gent rate 0.98 and 0.95.

That points to 60% for over two and a half goals and 63% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (8%).
