OH Leuven
- OH Leuven have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches.
- Timmy Simons has brought a very possession-based, patient build-up game to OH Leuven since 1 July 2026,
- OH Leuven are having an average start to the campaign, sitting 15th in the Pro League 2026/2027 with five points from eight games.
Lommel
- Lommel have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five contests.
- his opposite number, Lee Johnson, has had Lommel flying forward with a fast-paced, high-pressing style since 1 July 2025.
- Lommel are a better team with 11 points and 10th in the table, but Johnson's men have enough of an attacking edge and are in a good enough position to keep this one competitive.
Recent meetings
- The Pears will have the edge when they host Groen-Wit in a clash of two of the Pro League's most interesting and contrasting styles at King Power at Den Dreef, Belgium.
- Their 5-1 win over Lommel in a friendly club game three months ago means they know how to land a blow on Saturday.
Who to watch
- Wouter George leads the scoring for Oud-Heverlee Leuven with two goals in seven Pro League 2026/2027 games,
- Davis Opoku has two of his side's last five goals and looks the sharpest finisher right now.
- Don-Angelo Konadu is Lommel's player with two in his last five, so he's a live wire in the attacking third and should be backed to get on the scoresheet.
Odds and form
- Oud-Heverlee Leuven look like a good bet at 1.85 here as they are clearly the better side on paper.
- Lommel are available at 3.8 as is the draw so the visitors look overpriced in this one, although we will take the draw as an alternative play.
- The hosts have won just one and lost two of their four home league games, although they have drawn one of those.
- Their three home results in the last three have been two wins and a draw, so they seem to be getting better on their home soil.
Likely outcome
- Under 2.5 goals at 2.25 would fit a tense and tight affair that OH Leuven like to get involved in,
- but both teams to score at 1.55 could be a play here if Lommel's pressing game clicks as it did against Beveren last time out and both teams get some joy in the final third.
- Lommel's last three results have been a 5-0 away defeat to Union St. Gilloise, a 0-0 home draw with KV Mechelen and a 3-1 away win over SK Beveren.
- That's a mixed bag that shows they can bite at the big guns but also lack the consistency to beat even the weaker sides in the division, which is why we will back the Pears to have the most success on the night.
