Westerlo - OH Leuven predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and OH Leuven are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Westerlo should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

At 3.83 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive OH Leuven are well aware of it themselves.

At 8.09 betting odds, Westerlo were huge underdogs in their previous Pro League outing. That did not stop them from believing they could run out with a point in the bag after a tied first half. However, they failed miserably in doing so, as they stumbled to a disappointing Union Saint-Gilloise defeat.

The away team previously recorded an HT/FT draw in their home game against Anderlecht. Considering bookmakers overwhelmingly saw them as the clear underdogs, there are plenty of reasons to be content with such an outcome.

The first step Westerlo need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

As far as the recent history of this matchup goes, the records show a decisive victory by Westerlo last season. They even secured a solid lead, which is part of the reason most bookies consider them to be the favourites in this matchup.

On Sunday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

Playing a somewhat risky Home Win bet is the best move for this particular matchup. The odds of 1.90 are good in terms of value, but you need to keep in mind that success is by no means guaranteed.
