Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Recent FormLosing 3-1 away to Club Brugge won't leave the Oud-Heverlee Leuven squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 10 places above them in the league. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Club Brugge's tally of 20 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 2 games and conceded at least one goal in 10 out of 14 games this season.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Mechelen, Recent FormMechelen will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their home outing against Westerlo. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Westerlo had 21 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Their boss Besnik Hasi has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 4 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 4 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 4 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Mechelen, Kerim Mrabti will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-2 win for Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
Malinwa have let in at least one goal in each of their last 4 league matches at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion against OH Leuven. We have seen plenty of goals from OHL when they play at home against Mechelen. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
In the league, OH Leuven has a good track record when they host Mechelen, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
OH Leuven manager Óscar García has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Alexandro Calut (Knock), Sofian Kiyine (Knock), Konan N’Dri (Knee) and Thibault Vlietinck (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Rafik Belghali (Hamstring) and Toon Raemaekers (Cruciate ligament) both unavailable and Bill Antonio (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season, Mechelen manager Besnik Hasi will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
