Sint-Truiden vs. Oud-Heverlee Leuven Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Sint-Truiden and Oud-Heverlee Leuven, taking place on Sunday, 15 September 2024, at Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium in Sint-Truiden.
Sint-Truiden, Recent Form
Sint-Truiden will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Kortrijk last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Kortrijk, who had 13 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have found the net 6 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 15 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 6 consecutive games without a win.
On an individual basis, Kahveh Zahiroleslam will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Sint-Truiden's last 6 league games.
Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Recent Form
Oud-Heverlee Leuven will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Standard Liege. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Standard Liege's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
There will be mixed feelings from OHL, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
Ewoud Pletinckx has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Sint-Truiden.
Sint-Truiden vs. Oud-Heverlee Leuven Head to head
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
STVV have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with OHL.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium in the league, but STVV will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings there.
