Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Recent FormOud-Heverlee Leuven will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 away win against Charleroi. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Charleroi who had 25 attempts and 5 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, Marc Brys will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in King Power at Den Dreef Stadion, Jón Þorsteinsson will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Anderlecht, Recent FormAnderlecht will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Cercle Brugge. They came away from that fixture with a 61% share of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Cercle Brugge, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Brian Riemer will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. They are proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Goalscorer Islam Slimani will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Anderlecht.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
OH Leuven have managed to keep a clean sheet against Paars-wit in each of their previous 2 meetings at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion. The Anderlecht defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit OHL in the league, with Anderlecht conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
The last 3 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but OH Leuven might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 5 encounters.
OH Leuven manager Marc Brys has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mathieu Maertens (Foot), Joël Schingtienne (Unknown), Siebe Schrijvers (Unknown), Milan Taildeman (Unknown) and Emmanuel Toku (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Hannes Delcroix (Knee) and Marco Kana (Toe) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Brian Riemer will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
