Sint-Truiden - OH Leuven predictions

Sint-Truiden are easily the favourites in the match this Friday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.05 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but OH Leuven may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

OH Leuven is known for their determination and we expect them to give their all in pursuit of a win in this match.

The hosts also had the home-field advantage in the previous round, and they successfully leveraged it for a 2:1 victory. Top online bookmakers priced them winning at 2.38, which immediately set them apart as the favourites. Still, they were ahead throughout the game, clearly proving themselves to be the stronger team.

OH Leuven are in high spirits after managing to beat out Gent in the previous round, which went directly against what most Pro League betting predictions expected. Gent were the clear favourites in that matchup, yet they fell behind early and struggled to keep up.

The hosts are here after a series of home games marked by a high concession rate. For instance, they yielded more than 5 goals over the previous 3 matches at Stayen.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

Despite the 2.05 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against OH Leuven. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

Ewoud Pletinckx, Thibault Vlietinck, A. Calut, Nathaniel Opoku, Sebastiao Sagrado have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
