Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Zulte-Waregem in 10th and OH Leuven in 7th place.
- Zulte-Waregem haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- OH Leuven have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pro League. That game, against Sint-Truiden, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for OH Leuven.
