**Royal Antwerp vs Raal La Louviere Prediction and Betting Tips | Jupiler Pro League**
Royal Antwerp and Raal La Louviere square off for three crucial points in a Belgian Jupiler Pro League matchday 14 clash on Saturday (November 8th). The game will be played at Bosuilstadion, with both sides aiming to improve their league standings.
**Match Preview**
The home side, Royal Antwerp, will be eager to bounce back after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat away to St. Truiden. Ryotaro Ito scored the game’s only goal in the 16th minute, which proved decisive. Antwerp’s woes were compounded when Daam Foulon received a red card in the 22nd minute, leaving his teammates with a mountain to climb for the rest of the encounter.
Raal La Louviere, on the other hand, come into this fixture on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 home win over Cercle Brugge. Thierry Lutonda gave the hosts the lead in the 24th minute. Although Steve Ngoura missed a penalty for the visitors in the 37th minute, the game ended in dramatic fashion. Emmanuel Kakou equalized for Cercle Brugge in the second minute of injury time, but Maxime Pau snatched the winner for La Louviere just a minute later.
That victory sees La Louviere climb to 10th in the standings, amassing 17 points from 13 games, while Royal Antwerp remain 15th with 11 points.
**Head-to-Head and Key Numbers**
– The last meeting between these sides occurred in February 2021, with Antwerp winning 2-1 at home in the Belgian Cup.
– Six of Antwerp’s last seven games across all competitions have featured fewer than three goals.
– La Louviere are unbeaten in their last eight matches across competitions, recording four wins.
– Antwerp are winless in their last eight league games, losing six over that stretch.
– Each of Antwerp’s last five competitive games has seen more goals scored in the first half than the second.
**Prediction**
Royal Antwerp have endured a torrid start to the season and now find themselves precariously close to the relegation zone. Worryingly, they have failed to score in five of their last six matches, while conceding six goals in that span.
Raal La Louviere, freshly promoted to the Jupiler League for the first time following their runners-up finish in the Challenger League, have exceeded expectations. They currently boast a five-point cushion over the relegation zone and are unbeaten in their last four away fixtures.
Given Antwerp’s ongoing attacking struggles and La Louviere’s solid form, we foresee a closely contested, low-scoring draw.
