Match Preview
RAAL La Louvière is currently struggling to find a rhythm in the final third. They have failed to score in 41% of their matches this season, which is a worrying trend for Frederic Taquin. Still, their defensive organization at home remains quite respectable despite their low standing.
Pape Moussa Fall remains their primary hope for goals, having netted 5 times this season. The team averages just 0.55 goals per home game, meaning they rely heavily on keeping things tight. They will need a near perfect performance to stop a talented Gent side.
That said, the Wolves have seen BTTS land in 4 of their last 5 games. This suggests that while they don't score much, they are starting to find some openings. Whether they can sustain this against a top five team like Gent is the big question.
Gent arrives at the Easi Arena with plenty of confidence. They have picked up 9 points from their last 5 outings and haven't tasted defeat in 3 matches. Wilfried Kanga is the man in form, leading the line with 8 goals this season.
The visitors have been very effective on the road offensively, scoring 1.36 goals per match. However, their defense away from home has been leaky, conceding 1.73 on average. This contrast makes them a very unpredictable team to watch on their travels lately.
Even so, the tactical setup under Rik De Mil should focus on possession. They average 11.64 shots per match and will likely dominate the ball. It remains to be seen if they can break down a stubborn home defense in this Jupiler Pro League Predictions fixture.

Prediction
Under 2.5 Goals @1.85
The home side, RAAL La Louvière, has struggled immensely in the attacking department throughout the current campaign. They average a mere 0.55 goals scored per home match, which is the lowest in the division. With a shot on target average of only 3 per game at the Easi Arena, they rarely create the high quality chances necessary to produce high scoring affairs regularly.
Furthermore, the hosts are quite disciplined defensively when playing in front of their own supporters. They concede only 0.73 goals per home fixture, which is the second best record in the league. When you combine their lack of offensive bite with a sturdy backline, the statistics strongly suggest a low scoring encounter where defensive organization takes priority over attacking flair on Friday.
