⭐ Editor's Pick
La Louvière will surely play with freedom at home and put maximum effort into attack. The first-round match against Anderlecht showed that the hosts are capable of breaking down the defences of the country's strongest clubs. Gent have a quality front line and will almost certainly find the net through sheer class. At the same time, the visitors may lack freshness after a tough match in the Conference League qualifying in the middle of the week. In this situation, the bet on both teams to score looks like the most logical and promising choice. A score of 1:1 is possible.
