RAAL La Louvière vs Zulte Waregem Prediction

RAAL La Louvière host Zulte Waregem on 24 October 2026 at 21:45 in the Belgian Pro League. La Louvière are hunting their second league win of the season after a 4-1 hammering by Club Brugge, though they showed teeth in the Belgian Cup with a 4-0 victory over RFC Liège. Elias Filet scored as a substitute in that cup win and is pushing for a starting role. Mouhamed Belkheir remains unavailable through injury. Waregem arrive on the back of three straight defeats and have won just 20% of their recent away matches. Malick Mbaye is suspended for the visitors.

Form and H2H

La Louvière average 2.20 goals scored at home but leak 1.60 per game on their own pitch. Waregem have been tighter defensively, conceding 1.40 goals per away match and keeping clean sheets in 40% of those fixtures. The visitors' away record is poor, but their defensive discipline offers a counterweight to La Louvière's attacking potential at home. A tight contest between a team needing wins and one desperate to stop the bleeding.

Best Bet

Back the draw. La Louvière's home form gives them hope, but Waregem's defensive numbers and suspension of key players suggest they will be compact and hard to break down. A 1-1 scoreline splits the difference between the hosts' offensive average and the visitors' resistance. The draw pays 3.40 at Melbet, 3.43 at 1xBet, 3.35 at 1Win, and 3.29 at Mostbet.

La Louvière's home win is available at 2.92 (Melbet), 2.94 (1xBet), 2.95 (1Win), and 2.97 (Mostbet) if you believe the hosts can exploit Waregem's away struggles.
