These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Seraing United attack 0.945 / defence 1.291 | RAAL La Louvière attack 1.088 / defence 1.046. League average goals — home 1.554 / away 1.431.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 69% | BTTS probability 68% | Total xG 3.55. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 69% — a total xG of 3.55 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 68% reflects that both xG figures (1.54 / 2.01) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
