The home team makes their debut in this edition after finishing the last season in 1st place, achieving promotion. In their last match, they secured a 2-1 victory against Lommel United in the 2e Klasse. Over their last 10 home fixtures, La Louvière has recorded 7 wins and 3 draws. Their attack has been consistent, scoring in 9 of those 10 matches. There is a strong trend for goals in their home games, with 13 of their last 15 matches featuring over 1.5 goals.
