Preview

Match preview

RAAL La Louvière host KV Mechelen in round four of the Jupiler Pro League, with both clubs seeking their first victory of the campaign. The hosts sit 15th in the standings after opening the season with three consecutive defeats, suffering a 2-1 home loss to Gent alongside away setbacks at Anderlecht (2-1) and Standard Liege (2-0). With six goals conceded in three matches, defensive stability remains an issue despite striker M. Isah netting both of their goals so far.

KV Mechelen occupy 14th place with one point from three outings. After battling to a high-scoring 3-3 draw at home to Standard Liege, they experienced 2-0 defeats on the road against Gent and Charleroi. While yet to find the net away from home this season, Mechelen will take encouragement from their recent superiority in this head-to-head matchup, having won all three previous meetings between the sides across league and cup action.
