Westerlo - OH Leuven predictions

Though we can call Westerlo the favourites in this matchup, OH Leuven are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Westerlo on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

Westerlo are coming on the back of a crushing 4:1 away defeat at the hands of Gent . The odds were against them from the start, and they never managed to recover from the early lead Gent grabbed.

The away team ended the previous league matchup with a 1:1 draw, and the two teams were neck-to-neck throughout the game. The 2.80 odds didn’t exactly favour OH Leuven, so the fact that a home game ended with such a lukewarm score is not all bad.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

OH Leuven fans are hoping they’ll be able to break the stalemate this time. Their latest 3 games all ended in a draw, which is far from ideal.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Westerlo secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Saturday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.85, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
