October 18th features a match where OH Leuven and AS Eupen will play a match in Eupen in a meeting of these two Pro League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. AS Eupen sits at 17th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-4 loss against Gent. Jordan Torunarigha scored the first goal for Gent in the 26th minute on a penalty, then Laurent Depoitre added another in the 40th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed AS Eupen couldn’t manage to score, and Gent took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while in their last match, 5th placed OH Leuven, recorded a 5-2 win against Zulte-Waregem. Jelle Vossen struck first for Zulte-Waregem in the 40th minute on a feed from Ndour, then Mario González tied it up for OH Leuven in the 51st minute on a feed from Casper De Norre But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 58th minute on a goal by Sofian Kiyine. With 17 points in their last 10 matches OH Leuven should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season AS Eupen won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
OH Leuven is fortunate enough to have Mario González in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals. AS Eupen is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Lambert Boris and Konan N’Dri each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
