The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. La Louvière are in the 7th position while the guests worry at 16th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
La Louvière form and stats
La Louvière have played 14 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-3 (wins-draws-losses).A good away victory last time out for La Louvière, who won 4-1 against Tilleur. Before that, La Louvière drew at home versus Meux.
The La Louvière fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 18 in 14 matches. On the other hand, La Louvière have conceded 14 goals.
Ciney form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ciney, who have the fewest points (1) away in Division 3: ACFF, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-13 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Ciney have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Couvin-Mariembourg game. With the Ciney losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Division 3: ACFF home defeat versus RES Durbuy with 1-4 on the scoreboard. A 0-5 defeat away at Hamoir before that.
The attacking power of Ciney when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored in 14 matches. The Ciney defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 57 goals in their away games.
