Genk
- Genk are the form team with two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five First Division A games.
- This Racing Genk vs Oud-Heverlee Leuven prediction looks particularly interesting as Racing Genk have been underperforming in their home stadium this season and head into Sunday’s home game with Oud-Heverlee Leuven winless in two after a 1-1 draw at Gent and 0-1 home defeat to KV Mechelen.
- Genk’s form has been mixed but steady since the appointment of head coach Thorsten Fink at the beginning of July 2024, with Fink implementing a proactive, high-tempo 4-2-3-1 that is based on collective pressing and ball possession with wide players taking the ball into the box.
Leuven
- Leuven are unbeaten in their last two away games, but have lost four of their seven away matches in the 2025-26 campaign.
- In contrast, Felice Mazzu, who took over at OH Leuven in October 2025, has the side operating in a compact defensive block, playing at a slow tempo and counter-attacking when possible.
- Their structure is either a 5-4-1 or 3-5-2, with the players counter-pressing only in very selective situations.
Head-to-Head
Leuven are without a win at Genk in recent visits and the hosts have won the last two head-to-head meetings.
Key Players
- Hyun-Gyu Oh is Genk’s biggest scoring threat with five league goals, three of which have come in their last seven games.

- Ewoud Pletinckx leads the scoring for OH Leuven with three goals in 15 league games and is one of their main attacking outlets in the team’s 5-4-1 system.
