Sint-Truiden vs La Louvière

Neither side has found rhythm yet this season, but there's still plenty riding on early points as Sint-Truiden try to build on last year's third-place finish and Europa League run, while RAAL La Louviere, still finding their feet in only their second top-flight campaign after promotion, look to avoid an early slide down the table. Sint-Truiden have drawn both league games so far, 1-1 with Lommel and 3-3 with Cercle Brugge, and split their Europa League qualifying tie with Omonia Nicosia. RAAL have lost all three of their opening fixtures, against Anderlecht, Gent and Standard Liege, without a single point yet on the board. Attacking form has centred on Ilias Sebaoui and Ryan Merlen for the home side, with Nelson Ishiwatari also contributing in midfield. RAAL will look to Mustapha Isah and Ismaila Coulibaly under coach Edward Still. The sides have met just once before, last August, when St. Truiden won 2-1. Our prediction: 2-1
