RAAL La Louviere - Zulte Waregem

Mustapha Isah spearheads the RAAL La Louviere attack as the hosts look to find consistency in their Belgian Pro League campaign. After a heavy league defeat to Club Brugge on 10 October 2026, the side responded with a convincing 4-0 cup victory over FC Liege, providing a timely morale boost ahead of matchday 9. The expected XI, anchored by goalkeeper Marcos Peano and a defensive unit featuring Patrick Nkoa and Yllan Okou, will aim to contain the visitors while relying on the creative spark of Joel Ito in midfield to dictate the tempo at Easi Arena.

Zulte Waregem arrive following their own 3-0 cup success against RFC Seraing, a result that helps steady their form after recent league losses to Gent and Anderlecht. With Anosike Ementa expected to lead the line, the visitors will look to replicate the dominance they showed in their previous meetings, having secured a 6-0 aggregate win over their hosts in the playoff relegation group last April. This encounter presents a significant test for both sides as they seek to climb the table.
