Standard Liege – OH Leuven

Standard Liege host OH Leuven in what looks set to be a clash of starkly contrasting fortunes. The home side sit sixth in the table with 11 points from three wins, two draws and a single loss, boasting a modest +2 goal difference (12‑10). Leuven, languishing at 17th with just one point after five defeats and a heavy‑handed –10 goal gap (3‑13), will be desperate to snap their winless run. Historically the two have met several times this season, with Standard holding the upper hand, and the gap in form suggests the Belgians will look to consolidate their position while Leuven fights for survival. A win for Standard could cement a top‑six push, whereas a draw would be a rare point for the struggling Leopards.
