Union Saint-Gilloise - OH Leuven predictions

Union Saint-Gilloise are seen as favourites to win this match against OH Leuven. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic OH Leuven fans are expecting them to triumph at Union Saint-Gilloise this Sunday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

The home team had a shaky start in their previous Pro League match, but eventually pulled through for a 1:2 away win. Most observers were surprised when they fell behind in the early game – the 3.45 betting odds were on their side, after all. Either way, the second half was a stark improvement, earning them 3 points.

The visiting team are coming on the back of a near-impossible matchup at Genk, which they predictably lost 2:0. However, it’s worth mentioning that the goal difference was made almost exclusively in the second half.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

OH Leuven have an excellent defensive track record at the moment with no concessions in their previous 3 home games. Although they’re playing without home-field advantage this Sunday, we would keep their rock-solid defence in mind for betting purposes.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
