OH Leuven form and stats

Overall Pro League results at home this season for OH Leuven are 1-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The regulars are hoping that OH Leuven will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the match against Cercle Brugge (placed 7th). Nsingi, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the top player for the side in that game, and was presented with a rating of 7.33 (out of 10). Nsingi hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Standard Liège (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Leuven perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with OH Leuven as a small favourite), we find 9 games. OH Leuven has won 6 of these, drawn 3 and lost 0.

Sint-Truiden form and stats

As the visiting team in Pro League matches, Sint-Truiden have produced an overall stat of 1-4-0 so far. There's been quite the remarkable succession of draws for Sint-Truiden when the away team, as their previous four away games have all ended undecided. Not since the Kortrijk fixture has the points been distributed unevenly.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Union Saint-Gilloise with 0-4 on the scoreboard. That loss was their first after four consecutive league rounds winning points. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Koita, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.1. Koita hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 7 of 10 times.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Club Brugge that ended 1-1.
