St. Truiden host OH Leuven in the Belgium Pro League. Both clubs have had a mixed time of things lately, with St. Truiden currently sat a few places above their visitors in the table.
Leuven's away day record this term has been a struggle, while St. Truiden have shown flashes of sharper form at home. That gap is worth unpacking before settling on how this one might go.

Over the years this fixture has swung both ways, with narrow margins and the odd draw mixed in among the heavier scorelines.
Recent meetings have been close, so history alone doesn't point strongly either way.
Where they sit right now
With seven league games played, St. Truiden are 11th on eight points, having won two, drawn two and lost three. OH Leuven are down in 15th on four points from the same number of matches, with just five goals scored and thirteen conceded.

| 10 | Genk | 7 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 13/12 | 9 |

| 16 | Kortrijk | 7 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 2/15 | 3 |
That gap in goals for and against this season is notable. Leuven's defensive numbers in particular stand out as a concern heading into this one.
OH Leuven's struggles look more pronounced in the league table than in their broader recent sample.
Players to watch
St. Truiden's S. Baždar has four goals in five matches this season, and R. Merlen has added three goals and three assists in seven, so there's some attacking threat to keep an eye on. I. Sebaoui also chips in with assists from midfield.
On the Leuven side, the only player data available relates to cards, with W. George, Óscar Gil and A. Traoré picking up bookings this season. There's nothing here to suggest who's carrying their attacking load.

How this one could play out
St. Truiden look sharper in front of goal this season and sit well clear of Leuven in the table, which lines up with their better recent form sample too. Leuven's defensive record, conceding 13 in just seven league games, is the clearest concern for them going into this match.
That said, this fixture has a habit of being tighter than the league position might suggest, and the two most recent meetings were both decided by a single goal.

St. Truiden carry the better league form and the healthier goal difference into this one, while Leuven's away struggles and leaky defence are the bigger worry on their side.
With no market available to assess here, we're not making a selection on this fixture.
