Charleroi vs RAAL La Louvière Prediction

Form in opposite directions

Charleroi's recent run reads well: cup and league wins over Albert Quévy-Mons, Standard Liège, Cercle Brugge, Zulte Waregem and Kortrijk. The only blemish is a 3-0 defeat away at Antwerp last weekend, so it's otherwise been a string of positive results across the last couple of months.

RAAL's form is far more jagged. They've put together a 3-0 win over Zulte Waregem and a 4-0 cup win over Liège, but sandwiched in between is a 1-4 home defeat to Club Brugge, and further back there are heavy losses to St. Truiden and Standard Liège. Seven wins, four draws and nine losses across their last twenty matches tells its own story.

Charleroi look the more consistent side on paper, though RAAL have shown they can score goals when it comes off.

Comparative Team Statistics: Charleroi vs RAAL La Louvière

Recent meetings were tight

The last two meetings between these sides went the other way from what current form suggests. Charleroi and RAAL drew 0-0 last November, and RAAL actually won 1-0 away at Charleroi back in August 2025. Neither result lines up with how differently the two clubs are playing right now.

With only two meetings on record and both from last season, this history doesn't tell us much about where the teams stand now.

A big gap in the table

Charleroi sit third with 21 points from eight league games, having won seven of them. RAAL are down in 16th with just four points from the same number of matches, having won only once. That's a gap of seventeen points after eight rounds, which says plenty about where each side currently stands in the division.

Players to watch

RAAL's main outlet is M. Ubandoma, who has five goals in seven appearances and is clearly their main source of goals. Charleroi share the scoring load more evenly, with F. Situmona Mbemba and A. Scheidler both on three for the season, while J. Romsaas leads the assists with three.

On discipline, RAAL's M. Peano has picked up a red card this season, and Y. Okou and J. Ito have both been booked, worth noting given how much defensive work RAAL tend to need.
