Standard Liege vs OH Leuven Prediction and Betting Tips | 7th December 2024

Standard Liege will entertain OH Leuven at Stade Maurice Dufrasne in the Belgian Pro League on Saturday. After dropping points in the previous matchday, the two teams will seek to get back to winning ways.

Standard Liege vs OH Leuven Preview

The hosts shared the spoils 1-1 with Sporting Charleroi on matchday 16, which hindered their push to the top five in the standings. Standard Liege sit ninth on 22 points after winning six matches and drawing four. However, they could possibly cover the gap to the top, with only five points behind third-placed Antwerp.

Les Rouches are looking to produce a better campaign this season than the previous, when they finished 12th out of 16 teams. They seem to be in a good mood but need to win more and limit their losses, which have amounted to six already. The 10-time Belgian champions last won the top-flight title in 2008-09.

OH Leuven are winless in their last four league matches, dropping six points, which led to their headlong fall to the relegation zone. They sit 13th, tie on 18 points with three other teams, who sit above the relegation spots. This means the visitors could leap out of the red zone if they succeed at Stade Maurice Dufrasne.

OHL will likely face an uphill battle against the home side, who are in quest of maximum points to cover lost ground. The visitors have been unimpressive on the road of late, recording only one victory in five trips. OHL’s last visit ended in a goalless draw, but two years ago, they stunned Standard Liege 3-1 at home.
