Oud-Heverlee Leuven

DLLLDL 📉

Oud-Heverlee Leuven won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 2-1 Pro League Play Offs defeat last time out to Standard Liège.

In that game, Oud-Heverlee Leuven had 46% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Oud-Heverlee Leuven was Roggerio Nyakossi (40'). At the other end, Standard Liege got 13 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Henry Lawrence (47') and Casper Nielsen (69') scored for Standard Liège.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Oud-Heverlee Leuven have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Oud-Heverlee Leuven have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 11 goals along the way. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this game, though.

Antwerp

📰 Team News: Oud-Heverlee Leuven

Noë Dussenne (minor knock) and Óscar Gil (minor knock) will not be able to play for Oud-Heverlee Leuven boss Felice Mazzù.

We think that OHL should make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation this time, utilising Tobe Leysen, Ewoud Pletinckx, Roggerio Nyakossi, Takahiro Akimoto, Davis Opoku, Wouter George, Lukasz Lakomy, Henok Teklab, Kyan Vaesen, Abdoul Karim Traoré and Sory Kaba.

ℹ️ Team News: Antwerp

Antwerp manager Joseph Oosting has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Björn Engels (Achilles heel problems) and Youssef Hamdaoui (minor knock) are not able to play.

We reckon that The Great Old seem most likely to play in a 3-4-1-2 lineup, starting the game with T. Brandon Nozawa, Rein Van Helden, Yuto Tsunashima, Daam Foulon, Anthony Valencia, Dennis Praet, Xander Dierckx, Eran Tuypens, Christopher Scott, Vincent Janssen and Gyrano Kerk.

💭 Prediction

We are of the inclination to think that Antwerp and Oud-Heverlee Leuven could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.

It appears that a draw might be on the cards. That’s why we have predicted a close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this one.
