Preview

Match preview

OH Leuven enter round six of the Jupiler Pro League under severe pressure, having lost all five of their opening matches. Their struggles at both ends of the pitch have been pronounced, scoring just two goals while conceding twelve, leaving them in 17th position in the relegation zone.
