Both teams are capable in this league, Gent holding a 2 point edge on OH Leuven in the tables. Let's get started!
- OH Leuven have the most points from losing position (9) in Pro League
- Gent have the most dropped points from leading position (10) in Pro League
Gent could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa Conference League game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Shamrock Rovers. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
OH Leuven form and stats
OH Leuven have collected 9 points from their Pro League home games so far after 3-0-3. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for OH Leuven, their manager Brys and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The OH Leuven manager Brys and his gang return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Sint-Truiden (placed 10th). Midfielder Al-Taamari was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.83 (out of ten) in that game. Al-Taamari hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.
Heartbreak before that as Leuven lost 2-4 at AS Eupen's place.Lots of goals? Who knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league matches with this side has had three goals or more.
OH Leuven are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.
Gent form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Gent playing as the away team in the Pro League this season.
It's another away match for the visitors, as they travelled to Shamrock Rovers in their previous outing. The Europa Conference League fixture ended 1-1. Defender Godeau was the best team player with a rating of 8.01. Godeau served one assist, hit one key pass and won 6 of 9 duels.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus RFC Seraing in the Pro League.After this away game Gent return home for a Europa Conference League game against Molde. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Gent are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. As opposed to that, Gent have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings featuring these two sides are: one win for Leuven, two draws and seven wins for Gent. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
