Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Recent FormOud-Heverlee Leuven will not be too troubled by their 2-1 away defeat against Genk, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Genk's tally of 22 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Marc Brys will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, he 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.
When home matches come round at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion, Jón Þorsteinsson will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Oud-Heverlee Leuven's last 6 home league matches.
Mechelen, Recent FormSteven Defour will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 home thrashing at the hands of Club Brugge. Their share of possession in that meeting was 54%, while racking up 4 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Club Brugge had 18 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Defour will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 6 goals scored. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 7 away games out of 14 this season, Defour will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've not managed to settle at all away from home this season, losing 11 of their 14 league games on the road.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Mechelen, Geoffry Hairemans will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
