Westerlo - OH Leuven predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at OH Leuven. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The visitors are fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Westerlo on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Westerlo’s previous Pro League fixture could have gone either way and it’s fair to assume they were happy to have gotten a point from a difficult game. A tied first half and a Standard Liège draw, in the end, is the result everybody will have been happy with.

The 2.68 betting odds didn’t exactly paint OH Leuven as the favourites to win their previous matchup, especially considering that they were playing a home game. Neither side managed to break the stalemate for more than half the match, but it ultimately ended with OH Leuven winning 1:0.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

It will be interesting to see if OH Leuven manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Westerlo this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Tuesday. Jordan Bos, Nacer Chadli, Emin Bayram will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.
