La Louvière host Club Brugge in the Pro League, with the home side sitting 14th on 4 points from 7 matches, while the visitors are 3rd with 18 points from the same number of games. The home side need points to move away from the lower reaches of the table, while Club Brugge need all three to keep their title push on track. The hosts have just won 3-0 at home in the league and recently won a friendly 4-0, but the season as a whole has been heavy going, with 5 defeats from 7 matches and 14 goals conceded. The defence is the area that has had to carry the weight throughout. Club Brugge, meanwhile, have won two in a row and are still unbeaten in the league this season, with 6 wins from 7 and only 3 goals conceded. The defence and the rhythm of their possession give them a clear edge. Based on the expected line-ups, La Louvière are likely to set up with a back three and pack the middle, while Club Brugge are likely to use Hans Vanaken to control the tempo in midfield and push Nicolo Tresoldi forward as the lone striker. The side that has to open the game up should therefore be the visitors, dominating the ball and attacking, while the hosts look to spring counter-attacks through the pace of Mame Wade and Mustapha Isah Ubandoma.
