Prevent table headline to be at end of page for latex file generated from python source

Question

I have some sourcecode to dynamically generate tables from python with some headline and write it into some latex file. It looks like this:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

def generate_tables():
    with open('tables.tex', 'w') as f:
        # header

        f.write("% !TeX TS-program = lualatex\n") 
        f.write("\documentclass{article}\n")
        f.write("\usepackage{booktabs}\n")
        f.write("\usepackage{unicode-math}\n")
        f.write("\begin{document}\n")

        fooder = "\end{document}\n"

        for i in range(10):
            df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.random((5, 5)))
            latex_table = df.to_latex(index=False,header=False,escape=False)
            f.write(f"Table {i}:")
            f.write("\n\\\n")
            f.write(latex_table)
            f.write("\\[2\baselineskip]\n")

        f.write(fooder)

generate_tables()

It generates the following latex code:

% !TeX TS-program = lualatex

Now I have a question:

If I now generate the .pdf from the .tex file it happens, that the header f.write(f"Table {i}:") is at end of the .pdf page and the table f.write(latex_table) beginns at the new page (see screenshot below). Can this be prevented?
