OH Leuven – KV Mechelen

OH Leuven host KV Mechelen at Den Dreef in Heverlee, a clash that pits the 15th‑placed side on five points against a marginally better Mechelen side sitting 14th with six. The home team has managed just one win and two draws from eight games, scoring six while conceding fourteen, whereas the visitors have also recorded a single victory but have drawn three, netting nine and letting in 17. Both clubs will be eager to turn their modest point totals into a much‑needed lift, with Leuven hoping to improve a goal‑difference that currently sits at –8. Mechelen, meanwhile, will look to narrow the gap and climb out of the lower half of the table by capitalising on their slightly superior scoring record. The encounter promises a tight battle for the three points, as each side strives to escape the relegation‑watch zone.
