Charleroi vs RAAL La Louvière Prediction

Recent form tells two different stories

Charleroi's recent matches blend this season's league games with some preseason friendlies, and across that wider run of 20 matches they've won 11, drawn 4 and lost 5, scoring 34 and conceding 23. Within that sample, their current Pro League form has brought wins over Kortrijk, Mechelen, Lommel United and Cercle Brugge.

RAAL's equivalent sample is tougher reading. Across the same type of 20-match stretch they've won just 4, with 37 goals conceded against only 19 scored. Their current league form reads one win, one draw and five defeats, including heavy losses to St. Truiden and OH Leuven.

Charleroi's home form looks considerably stronger than RAAL's form on the road right now.

Comparative Team Statistics: Charleroi vs RAAL La Louvière

History doesn't match the current gap

The last two meetings between these clubs were tight. Charleroi drew 0-0 at home last November, and RAAL won 1-0 on their own ground back in August 2025.

Those results came before this season's form pulled apart so sharply, so they carry limited weight now.

The table backs up the form

Charleroi sit fourth after seven league games, with six wins from seven and only seven goals conceded. RAAL are down in 14th, with just one win, one draw and five defeats from the same number of matches.

It's still early in the season, but the gap between the two sides is already significant.

Where the goals come from

RAAL's attack leans heavily on M. Ubandoma, who has 5 goals in 7 matches this season. Charleroi's scoring is more spread out, with F. Situmona Mbemba and A. Scheidler both on 3 goals and J. Romsaas setting up 3 assists.

RAAL La Louvière:

Penalty cards:

Y. Okou x 1 x 1

J. Ito x 1 x 1

M. Peano x 1

On the disciplinary side, RAAL's M. Peano has already picked up a red card this season, which is worth keeping an eye on without assuming anything about his availability for this particular game.

Charleroi have more variety in attack, while RAAL's threat is concentrated in one player.

How this one could play out

Charleroi have been scoring freely at home while conceding very little, and RAAL have been leaking goals on the road all season. That combination points towards a game where Charleroi create plenty and RAAL have to defend for long spells.

Nothing in the recent sample suggests RAAL can easily stop that pattern, though early-season form like this can still shift as the campaign goes on.
