Standard Liege - RAAL La Louviere

Standard Liege look to translate their recent resilience into a victory as they host RAAL La Louviere on 21 August 2026 for matchday 3 of the Belgian Pro League. The hosts enter the contest at Stade Maurice Dufrasne following consecutive draws, having shared the spoils in high-scoring affairs against Cercle Brugge and KV Mechelen. The expected XI, anchored by goalkeeper Matthieu Epolo and a forward line featuring Adnane Abid, Dennis Eckert, and Bernard Nguene, will aim to sharpen their defensive focus after conceding five goals across those two outings.

RAAL La Louviere arrive searching for their first points of the campaign after narrow defeats to Anderlecht and Gent. The visitors are expected to field a defensive unit led by Patrick Nkoa and Yllan Okou, tasked with containing the hosts. These sides last met in February 2026, where they played out a 1-1 draw in the league.
