Dender - OH Leuven predictions

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, OH Leuven can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Dender returned home from their last Pro League trip with their tail between their legs. The first 45 minutes of their last league game did not indicate a tough defeat was on the horizon. However, the hosts dropped their guard down and got beaten Westerlo.

OH Leuven are coming on the back of a narrow home defeat to Mechelen. The match could have gone either way, but the opposition displayed better form by grabbing an early lead and maintaining it until the 1:2 finish.

The first step Dender need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

OH Leuven may need more consistency in their defense if they want to get anywhere. They have more than 5 conceded goals over their 3 most recent home games, for instance.

Although the 2.46 betting odds for a home win show that Dender are the favourites, their track record against OH Leuven this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

On Sunday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.75, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
