OH Leuven have played 16 Pro League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-5 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win for Leuven against KV Oostende the last match, as Nsingi, Þórsteinsson, Opoku and Schrijvers were on target. As mentioned above, OH Leuven "killed" KV Oostende in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Þórsteinsson scored one goal, served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times.
