Leuven vs St. Gilloise Prediction & Betting tips
At the start of the eighth match day, OH Leuven is in a dramatic last place. They certainly do not play bad football, but whether it will be enough to score points against Union Saint-Gilloise remains a big question mark.
OH Leuven:
Leuven once again did not win home and thus maintains its status as the worst home team. However, it does not stop there, since they are also at the bottom of the ladder in the general classification. The sporting staff has announced a few weeks ago that the confidence in Nigel Pearson will remain and will remain, but whether they still think so …
OHL, however, did not go down with Roeselare immensely. It had, especially in the second half, a lot of good opportunities to make the equalizer or the tie-in goal. Moreover, it played very nice football at times. The only thing that actually stood in their way was the closing station of Roeselare. Wouter Biebauw kept a dike of a match and could show off afterwards a well-deserved clean sheet.
Union Saint-Gilloise:
Union seems to have been awakened. The last two games won it twice without incurring a counter goal. Just like last week Youssouf Niakaté was good for a great goal. I have such a feeling that the boy will not stay in the Proximus League for long. With eight goals in seven games, he is now only at the top of the league.
Although Union won with convincing figures, it was certainly not a breeze. Tubize played meritorious football and created a number of good opportunities. Their top shooter, Thomas Henry, failed. He was put face to face with the goalkeeper by team mate Hugo Videmont, but missed. He apparently did not overcome his frustrations, as he took a yellow card twice in the further course of the game. In addition, he has to go to the Review Committee on September 25 for an elbow rally against Kenneth Schuermans of OHL.
