RAAL La Louvière vs Gent
📖 The Preview
Gent are just about the favourites here and their recent form backs that up - they've been largely solid across their last ten, picking up wins and avoiding heavy defeats. RAAL have been inconsistent lately, with a run that includes too many draws and losses to inspire much confidence. This looks like a tight, low-scoring affair where Gent do just enough to nick it, grabbing a single goal on the road while keeping things quiet at the other end. One-nil, job done, move on.
