Eight games into the Pro League campaign, 16th-placed RAAL La Louvière look to kick-start their season at Stade du Tivoli against an eighth-placed Zulte Waregem side suffering an abrupt dip in form.
RAAL La Louvière sit 16th on four points after eight games, having experienced a slow start under manager Edward Still. Following consecutive league defeats to OH Leuven (2-0) and Club Brugge (4-1), Still's side picked up momentum with a cup victory over RFC Liège and will look to replicate the dominant home display that saw them sweep Kortrijk aside 3-0.
Zulte Waregem sit eighth with 11 points after eight games, but their solid opening has run cold in recent weeks. They travel following three consecutive league defeats without finding the net, having lost 1-0 to Charleroi, 3-0 away to Anderlecht, and 2-0 at home against Gent last time out.
