Mathieu Maertens (Partial muscle tear), Antef Tsoungui (Cruciate ligament tear), Jovan Mijatović (minor knock) and Takahiro Akimoto (Thigh problems) won’t be available for Oud-Heverlee Leuven manager Chris Coleman.

We are thinking that OHL will probably use the 4-3-1-2 system in the match and select Tobe Leysen, Thibault Vlietinck, Hasan Kurucay, Ewoud Pletinckx, Manuel Osifo, Ezechiel Banzuzi, Birger Verstraete, Siebe Schrijvers, Youssef Maziz, Lequincio Zeefuik and C. Ikwuemesi.
