OH Leuven form and stats

Two Pro League home games so far for OH Leuven, who are yet to win here at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion. Only 2 points so far. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

OH Leuven faced defeat in their previous match, away at Genk (0-4). The attacker Xavier Mercier was "man of the match" for Leuven with a rating of 7.23/10. Mercier hit seven key passes. OH Leuven were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Sporting Charleroi.

This is expected to be a close game, with OH 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 nine games. OH Leuven has won two of these, drawn three and lost four.

Early season league goal statistics from OH Leuven's 2 home games: 2 goals, 2 conceded.
