Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Recent FormWhen Oud-Heverlee Leuven last played in the league they faced Kortrijk and produced an outstanding 3-0 home win. They came away from that fixture with 47% of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 9 on target. By comparison, Kortrijk managed 13 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Marc Brys, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Nathan Opoku will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Oud-Heverlee Leuven's last 6 league games.
Gent, Recent FormGent will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Club Brugge. In that game they recorded 41 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 14 shots on goal.
Their boss Hein Vanhaezebrouck has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 8 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 12 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Gift Orban is the man of the moment at Gent right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 8 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Gent that came out on top with a 2-0 win.
Goals should be on the cards for De Buffalo's in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against OH Leuven in their last 14 meetings together. OHL have struggled for goals when Gent comes to visit King Power at Den Dreef Stadion, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. OH Leuven have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Gent.
In the league, Gent has had a solid run on the road against OH Leuven, being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion.
With only Alexandro Calut (Knock) and Nathan Opoku (Groin) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Marc Brys will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Laurent Depoitre (Achilles tendon) and Núrio Fortuna (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Hein Vanhaezebrouck will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
