Antwerp to win
Oud-Heverlee Leuven have struggled to win games recently; they have no wins in their last five games, with two draws and three losses. Royal Antwerp, on the other hand, have been relatively better than Leuven; they are coming off a win, and have three wins in their last six games. It’s worth mentioning that Antwerp have been one of the best road teams in the First Division A; they’ve won nine of 16 games away from home, only two teams have done better. Additionally, Leuven have won just one of their last nine meetings with Royal Antwerp; for this reason, we’re making the prediction that Antwerp will win.
Both sides will bag goals
Both teams have scored and conceded a lot of goals this season. Leuven found the back of the net in 15 of their last 17 games in all competitions; conversely, they kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 games. Similarly, Royal Antwerp scored in their last six, and 20 of their last 21 games; they’ve not been very good defensively either, having conceded in four of their last five games. Both teams scored in eight of Leuven’s last 10, and in four of Royal Antwerp’s last five games; all things considered, we should expect goals at both ends.
Goals galore
We’ve already established that both teams tend to score and concede goals frequently; as a result, their games have mostly been on the high-scoring side. Royal Antwerp have been one of the highest scoring teams in the league; four of their last five games went above the 2.5 goal mark. In the same vein, Oud-Heverlee Leuven have had their fair share of high-scoring games; 13 of their last 17 games went over 2.5, with nine of those games going over 3.5. With this in mind, our final prediction for this game is over 2.5 total goals.
