Looking at past games, it’s a toss-up. Oud-Heverlee Leuven’s had the upper hand lately, but footy’s got a nonexistent memory.

Still, there’s a vibe about this one—maybe, it’s the fixture where someone steps up.

Oud-Heverlee Leuven at 2.6 to win feels slightly short given their inconsistencies in the 1st Division A this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would fade them.
