OH Leuven will host Gent at The King Power AT Den Dreef Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The hosts will be looking to pick up an unlikely win to avoid falling into the relegation zone.
OH Leuven have lost both their league outings since returning from the winter break, most recently a narrow 1-0 defeat to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise last weekend. The hosts are currently sat in 12th place, only two points clear of the relegation round and could risk falling a place lower if they fail to get a result this weekend.
Gent are also winless this year, with their first match after the winter break ending in a goalless draw against Dender and their last league outing being a 1-1 draw against Sporting Charleroi. The visitors only have one win in their last five league games, a run of form that now has them only one point ahead of seventh-placed Standard Liege and in danger of falling out of championship round places this matchday.

OH Leuven vs Gent Prediction
Both teams are closely matched going into the weekend but OHL will receive a little edge by their impressive home form, having lost just one of 10 league home games this season.
Gent are without a win in their last three matches and have won just one of their last six across all competitions. They have won just once on the road since last September but should have enough to avoid defeat here.
