OH Leuven form and stats
Last season their Belgian Cup adventure ended in the 16th finals.OH Leuven have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Pro League, after 1-5-3 (9 played).
Leuven go into this game after a win, the home game against Standard Liège that ended 2-1. Goalkeeper Rúnarsson was absolutely vital in the Leuven victory against Standard Liège, making six saves. The attacker Maertens got a match rating of 8.3 in that game. Maertens scored two goals and hit one key pass.
The game before that, in the Pro League, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Club Brugge.The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for OH Leuven we find three games. Results are zero Leuven wins, two draws and one defeat.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Leuven manager Brys as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Sporting Charleroi.
Leuven have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 12 goals have been scored. OH Leuven's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
