OH Leuven - Union Saint-Gilloise predictions

OH Leuven are no strangers to surprises but with 3.96 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

If everything goes according to plan and Union Saint-Gilloise put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The previous round for OH Leuven was quite uneventful, all things considered. The away game at Dender saw a draw on half-time and a 1:1 draw at the end – not exactly a treat for the fans.

The away team’s performance the last time we saw them was nothing short of impressive. Top online bookmakers didn’t favour one team or the other, but Union Saint-Gilloise ended up winning the bout 4:0 after leading the proceedings throughout the runtime.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Union Saint-Gilloise have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

Last season, we saw a streak of complete dominance of Union Saint-Gilloise in this matchup. They have several victories over OH Leuven on record, all of which were achieved with a difference of at least 2 goals. It’s no wonder the bookies are expecting an away win.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Ewoud Pletinckx, Federico Ricca, Antef Tsoungui are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Guillaume François, Henok Teklab, Alessio Castro-Montes, Mamadou Traore will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Union Saint-Gilloise, though.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.81 odds.
