Antwerp (home)
- Royal Antwerp FC (5th, 18pts from 32 games) are just one place above Oud-Heverlee Leuven (6th, same points) in the First Division A - Conference Group 2026 and the sides could be difficult to split when they face off on Saturday.
- Antwerp has failed to win in their last two home matches (D1, L1).
- Joseph Oosting’s men have been struggling for form lately, going winless in their last five matches (D2, L3), including a current run of three consecutive defeats.
Leuven (away)
- Leuven has gone unbeaten in their last two away matches (W1, D1).
- Leuven boss, Felice Mazzu, has done a great job since taking over in October 2025, instilling a more structured and compact style of play on his side, who like to sit in a back-three with wing-backs, and then play in blocks when they are out of possession.
- The visitors have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five and should be good for a goal.
Head-to-Head
The two previous head-to-head matches in 2026 were split, with Leuven winning the reverse fixture 1-0 three weeks ago.
