Percentiles from 0 to 100: 90 means better than 90% of clubs in the league, or in the world. Higher means more of that quality. The profile describes the club. It is not part of the score. Missing bars mean there is not enough data yet. How the profile works.

This season they are taking 2.62 points a game from 8 matches, while their performances have been worth 2.36. That is 2.1 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls fair. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1381, a tougher schedule than the Belgian Pro League average.

For context, the next one below is Union Saint-Gilloise, rated 1652. Their lead over the second-best side is 30 rating points.

Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very high touches in the opposition box, very high passes completed close to goal and very high shot volume.

On rating, they play like a tier-1 side, 1 tier above the level of their own league.

The Belgian Pro League itself is 6th in our world league ranking, where its average club is 0.66 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average.

How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is high: the range of 9th to 42nd is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
