This could be an interesting match as Kortrijk have their presumed home advantage while OH Leuven are ahead 5 points in the Pro League table.
- Kortrijk have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- OH Leuven have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League.
Kortrijk form and stats
When playing at home in the Pro League, Kortrijk have managed 2 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 7 games.
Kortrijk manager Y. Vanderhaeghe and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Sporting Charleroi (placed 7th) in the Pro League. Before that, Kortrijk had a home game versus KV Oostende which ended with a victory 3-1.
Ilombe Mboyo felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Sporting Charleroi as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 33rd minute.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kortrijk have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Standard Liege are coming to town in four days.
The Kortrijk manager Y. Vanderhaeghe has got the team scoring with 14 from 7 home games in the league. Kortrijk have conceded 15 goals in these home games, a significant number.
OH Leuven form and stats
2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of OH Leuven playing as the away team in the Pro League this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, OH Leuven are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The supporters enjoyed Leuven's previous game versus Royal Excel Mouscron (placed 18th), a Pro League 2-0 win played at home. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Cercle Brugge.
OH Leuven are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, zero draws and four defeats. From a total of seven matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Leuven manager M. Brys as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Royal Excel Mouscron.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Leuven are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Leuven manager M. Brys has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Kortrijk, four draws and two wins for OH Leuven. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.Top Goalscorers
