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 2.75 points a game from 8 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.03. That is 13.7 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls lucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1296, an easier schedule than the Belgian Pro League average.

For context, the next club above them in the Belgian Pro League is Westerlo, rated 1429, and the next one below is Cercle Brugge, rated 1375. The gap to the strongest side in the division, Club Brugge, is 269 rating points.

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 101st to 295th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
