📋 Team News: Oud-Heverlee Leuven
Mathieu Maertens (Partial muscle tear), Antef Tsoungui (Cruciate ligament tear), Jovan Mijatović (minor knock) and Takahiro Akimoto (Thigh problems) are unavailable for Oud-Heverlee Leuven boss Chris Coleman.
We think that OHL should line up in a 4-3-1-2 formation featuring Tobe Leysen, Óscar Gil, Hasan Kurucay, Ewoud Pletinckx, Ayumu Ohata, Siebe Schrijvers, Birger Verstraete, Ezechiel Banzuzi, Youssef Maziz, Thibaud Verlinden and C. Ikwuemesi.
📰 Team News: KV Mechelen
KV Mechelen manager Frédéric Vanderbiest has some current player fitness concerns. Ahmed Touba (Hamstring muscle injury), Daam Foulon (Calf muscle tear) and Zinho Vanheusden (Inguinal hernia) are not able to play.
It’s our belief that KV Mechelen will likely elect for a 5-4-1 lineup, starting the game with Ortwin De Wolf, Rafik Belghali, Stephen Welsh, Bas Van den Eynden, Toon Raemaekers, José Marsà, Kerim Mrabti, Fredrik Hammar, Rob Schoofs, Nikola Storm and Lion Lauberbach.
💭 Prediction
It seems to us that KV Mechelen and Oud-Heverlee Leuven could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.
Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline when all is said and done.
