The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. OH Leuven are in the 9th position while the guesting Kortrijk worry at 13th.
- OH Leuven haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Belgian Cup.
OH Leuven form and stats
6 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what OH Leuven have to build on here at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion in the Pro League. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Leuven, their manager M. Brys and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Leuven travelled for their previous game, a trip to Standard Liège that ended 1-1. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Standard Liège the opponent.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Leuven have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost five.
Leuven are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 13 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 17 goals have been conceded.
Kortrijk form and stats

Kortrijk delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Standard Liège (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) (placed 6th) in their previous match; a Belgian Cup game. Preceding that game was the away Pro League victory against Royal Excel Mouscron with the score of 3-0.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Kortrijk in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Kortrijk, two draws and zero defeats.
The attacking power of Kortrijk when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 12 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far).
