Command Analysis

OH Leuven

Current form
"Heverlee Louvain" is unlikely to fight for high places. The minimum task for the team is to maintain its place in the league, preferably to avoid the fight for survival altogether. For now, the team is in 11th place, just one point away from the danger zone. In the last round, they managed to beat "Charleroi" away (2:0), winning their third victory this season. After that, the club managed to beat modest "Seren" (2:0) from the Second League in the Belgian Cup. It is worth noting that this season, the club from Heverlee is unbeatable on its home field - three draws and three wins.

Mathieu Mertens, Ewoud Pletinckx and Antef Tsoungouy will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.

Club Brugge

Current form
Club Brugge is one of the strongest clubs in Belgium and has won the championship title in four of the last five seasons of the Premier League. The 2023/24 season also went to the visitors, although after the first part of the season it seemed that Union would not miss out on the title. However, the club from Brugge caught up with its competitor and was ahead by one point. Now the team is only in third place and is already seven points behind the leader Genk. However, the last championship proved that Club Brugge can improve as the season goes on, so the whole fight is still ahead.
In the Champions League, they have managed to win one of three matches so far. The team managed to beat the Austrian champion, Sturm, on the road (1:0). The visitors lost to the much more formidable Borussia Dortmund (0:3) and Milan (1:3).
