- RAAL La Louviere have drawn 0-0 at home to Samsunspor and away to TSV Eintracht Braunschweig in their last two games and they have shown themselves to be tough to break through.
- KAA Gent have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their 6 away games across all competitions, so they are capable of performing away from home but they are not invincible.
- KAA Gent have conceded 13 goals in 6 away games in all competitions, so there is some hope for the hosts to get a couple of chances.
Draw specialists RAAL will give the Belgians a good game
Sunday's Pro League 2026-2027 clash between RAAL La Louviere and KAA Gent will be a clash of styles between a side built around youth, intensity and direct transition play versus one that likes to control the ball, play through the thirds and dictate the game.
This RAAL La Louviere vs KAA Gent preview points to a contest where Edward Still's side can make life difficult for the visitors.
Edward Still has been in charge of RAAL since 1st July 2026 and has been building his side around energetic, attack-minded players that can press and win the ball back high up the field to transition into forward play.
They come into this game having drawn their last three matches, two of which were 0-0 draws at home to Samsunspor and away to TSV Eintracht Braunschweig, so they are a tough side to score against and they should make this scrappy game.
Gent's structure and rhythm should see them through
KAA Gent have gone 3-2-0 in their last five matches, which was a stretch of form that had them in good nick to play and see through as they come into this contest as the form team. They played out a 0-0 draw with LNZ Cherkasy in UEFA Conference League qualifying before beating the side on penalties and followed that up with a 1-0 win away to IFK Goteborg in the same competition before beating KV Mechelen 2-0 at home in the Pro League.
Rik De Mil has been in charge since 10 December 2025 and his Gent team looks very well drilled, balanced and calm. They have played within their 4-2-3-1 shape and look very hard to knock off their stride when they get into a good rhythm.
Gent look to have the edge in this match, but the slight favorite's price of 2.3 is a little short for this Pro League new boy, especially with RAAL coming in at 3.1 and the draw at 3.45. I'm leaning towards the away side getting the result, but I will take the odds on offer for a draw at Easi Arena, Belgium, and this prediction supports that view.
Stalemate could be the way to go at Easi Arena
RAAL are 2-3-5 across their last ten matches in all competitions and could do with a spark to get them going. Gent have fared a little better at 5-3-2 in the same time period and they are the team with more rhythm and a better balance at the moment.
A game for the under 2.5 goals bet at 1.85 with both teams to score at 1.73 looks good, but I will go with BTTS-No at 2.0 as it leaves the door open for a RAAL goal. This RAAL La Louviere vs KAA Gent betting tips angle makes sense in a match that should be tight and tense, with RAAL's intensity and high press keeping it close enough for the Belgians to nick it.
Josue Vergara has already been Gent's top scorer in Pro League 2026/2027 with one goal in one game and he will be the man to watch again on Sunday. Momodou Sonko has been a crafty presence between the lines in Gent's engine room and has already managed one assist in one Pro League game.
For my final RAAL La Louviere vs KAA Gent prediction, I am siding with a low-scoring draw.
