Anderlecht - OH Leuven betting tips and odds

Anderlecht are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on OH Leuven winning, though.

Considering what they’re up against, OH Leuven can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.80 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Pro League betting predictions expected Anderlecht’s previous match to be close, but they were still given a better shot at winning than their opponents despite playing away. The first half went their way and they took an early lead, but their opponents Standard Liège overtook them in the latter part of the game.

Pre-match betting odds for OH Leuven’s previous Pro League outing were set at 2.95, meaning it could have ended either way. However, they ended up dominating their opponents Sint-Truiden and decisively snagging a $RESULT HT/FT home win.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Lotto Park this Saturday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

OH Leuven can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Looking back at the recent history of clashes between these two teams, the most notable example is a sound defeat OH Leuven suffered last season. Partly thanks to the considerable goal difference Anderlecht secured in that match, they’re considered favourites to win the match on Saturday.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 1 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
