OH Leuven's extended sample reads five wins, five draws and ten losses from 20, with 35 scored and 38 against. There are some decent results buried in there, like a 3-0 win at Beveren and a 1-0 home win over Gent, but the losing habit is hard to miss overall.

Leuven have shown they can win games, just not often enough this season.

Comparative Team Statistics: OH Leuven vs Lommel United

A long rivalry, mostly from years back

These two have met many times before, but almost all of it dates back to Challenger Pro League meetings between 2016 and 2020, when honours were split fairly evenly. None of that really tells us much about either side as they are now.

Their only meeting since then was a July friendly, which Leuven won 5-1. That came before this season started and shouldn't be read as a form indicator for the league fixture ahead.

There's no recent competitive head-to-head to lean on here.

League position tells its own story

OH Leuven are down in 15th place after seven matches, with just one win, one draw and five defeats. They've scored five goals and conceded thirteen, which points to a side short on both firepower and defensive control.

Lommel United sit a little higher, in 12th, with eight points from two wins, two draws and three losses. Their six goals for and eight against isn't spectacular, but it's a tighter record than Leuven's so far.

Lommel go into this with the healthier recent numbers, even though neither side is having a strong season.

Individual contributions worth flagging

For Lommel, T. Reyners has three goals in seven appearances, while J. van Duiven has laid on three assists in the same period, suggesting he's been their main creative source going forward.

Lommel United:

Best scorers:

Best assist providers:

J. van Duiven - 3

On the Leuven side, the standout numbers are less about goals and more about discipline. W. George and Óscar Gil have both picked up two yellow cards in seven games, and A. Traoré has added a red card to his tally in six appearances.

How the game could unfold

Leuven's defence has leaked goals regularly this season, and if that continues at home, it could open the door for Lommel to have their moments. Lommel haven't been prolific themselves though, so it wouldn't be a surprise if chances outweighed actual goals.

With both sides carrying defensive and attacking question marks, this doesn't look like a fixture with an obvious pattern to bank on.
