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 Leuven have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost five.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the OH Leuven friendly games in pre-season: Leuven played five friendlies, won 4, drew 0 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that OH Leuven scored 17 goals and conceded 6 in these five games.
