Week 17 features a match on Saturday Dec 4th, where OH Leuven will host Gent at King Power At Den Dreef Stadion in a clash of these two mismatched Pro League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 5 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. OH Leuven is fresh off their 3-1 win against Union Saint-Gilloise. Casper De Norre struck first for OH Leuven in the 13th minute, then Mathieu Maertens added another in the 40th minute on a feed from Sory Kaba. OH Leuven is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches, while gent sits at 7th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-1 win against Standard Liège. Tarik Tissoudali struck first for Gent in the 22nd minute, then Hugo Siquet added another on an own goal in the 57th minute. Gent should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Gent’s top weapon lately has been Tarik Tissoudali, who has three goals in the last five matches. Mathieu Maertens has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, hes scored four goals for OH Leuven.
