Leuven vs Antwerp: Team News and Expert Analysis
Oud-Heverlee was at about the same level in the 2024/2025 season, finishing twelfth. This time, they ended the regular season in the same position, which meant relegation was no longer a threat. As a result, the players virtually stopped competing in the spring. They only managed a draw with Westerlo and lost to Standard.
The historic grandee from "Bosuil" reminded everyone of themselves in 2023. But after the "golden double" they stepped into the background, finishing fifth last season and then losing to Charleroi in the "European playoff." This season, they only managed to collect 35 points in the first part of the campaign. Even in the mid-table group, things are not going smoothly. Only in April did they string together a series of wins. However, they still suffered defeats to both Standard and Charleroi.
OHL only scores about one goal per game and concedes about one and a half times more—on average, 1.54. Osting's side have nearly even stats: 1.11 goals scored per game and 1.22 conceded.
