Standard Liege vs RAAL La Louvière Prediction (21.08.2026)

The new season in Belgium for Standard Liège started quite interestingly, as they recorded two draws in their first two league matches, both of which were extremely high-scoring – first 2:2, and then 3:3. Now the team will have the chance to seek their first victory of the season at home against La Louvière, who, in turn, started with two defeats.

La Louvière's two losses came against strong opponents in the form of Anderlecht and Gent, with both matches ending 1:2. This shows that the team can hardly be defined as an absolute underdog. In direct encounters, the advantage is still on the side of Standard Liège, who have not lost to this opponent in six consecutive matches. However, the matches between the two teams are often closely contested and end in draws or with a minimal difference.

The home advantage and performance in direct encounters give a slight edge to Standard Liège, but La Louvière has already shown that they can score even against strong teams in Belgium. At the same time, the first two matches of the hosts offered a total of ten goals. Therefore, instead of looking for an outright winner, I will focus on continuing the scoring trend, and my prediction is for Both Teams to Score.
