OH Leuven vs Mechelen prediction, odds and how to watch

A goalless stalemate at Lommel SK saw Mechelen create the clearer opportunities but fail to convert, with Lommel's goalkeeper making four saves to preserve a point that does little for either side.

OH Leuven picked up a much-needed three points against La Louvière, with Wouter George and William Balikwisha on the scoresheet in a controlled Belgian Pro League victory. The clean sheet was equally important for a side that had conceded ten goals in its previous five matches.

Cercle Brugge snatched a stoppage-time equaliser through Krys Kouassi's penalty to deny OH Leuven a first win of their recent Belgian Pro League run, finishing 1-1 in a bad-tempered match that ended with cards flying and a VAR check in added time.

Anderlecht won 1-0 at Mechelen thanks to Tawfik Bentayeb's first-half finish, despite the home side controlling possession and racking up four yellow cards in a frustrating night at the AFAS Stadion.

Mechelen twice led at La Louvière but could not hold on, as a 2-2 draw left both sides with precious little to show for their efforts in the Belgian Pro League.

Standard Liège took all three points from Den Dreef with a 2-1 victory over OH Leuven, winning despite being outshot 22 to 5 and holding just 38% of possession. Casper Nielsen's early penalty and Dennis Eckert Ayensa's second-half strike proved enough.

Mechelen have not won a single Belgian Pro League match across their last ten, and Sint-Truiden arrive on Sunday having beaten them 3-0 in the most recent meeting between these sides. Something has to give.

Union Saint-Gilloise arrive at Sunday's Belgian Pro League derby in the form of their lives. OH Leuven arrive having lost five on the bounce and conceded twelve goals in the process.
