Genk – RAAL La Louvière

Genk host a struggling RAAL La Louvière in what promises to be a decisive clash for the Belgian side, who sit eighth with nine points from six games – two wins, three draws and a single loss, scoring 13 and conceding nine. La Louvière, languishing in 14th place with just four points (one win, one draw and four defeats, 7‑12), will need to turn their fortunes around quickly to avoid the relegation battle. The gap between the two teams is five points, but the difference in goal difference – Genk’s +4 to La Louvière’s – underscores the home side’s superiority. A win for Genk could propel them into the top six, while a point for the visitors would keep their survival hopes alive.
