Leuven team overview
OH Leuven have endured a tough spell recently, failing to record a victory in any of their last eight matches across all competitions. The team has managed only one draw and suffered five defeats in their last six outings. Their struggles at home are just as evident, with no wins in their last three matches.
Looking at the team lineup for this game, Bryang Kayo, Manuel Osifo, and Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi are all sidelined with injuries and will not play. Midfielder Youssef Maziz is currently ranked as Leuven’s top performer after the first three games, while Birger Verstraete will be serving a one-game ban after being sent off in the last game.

Genk team overview
Genk, despite their higher pedigree and status in the Belgian Pro League, have not fared much better. They remain winless this season, having failed to win any of their first three matches, and have claimed victory in just two of their last ten league games. Their away form has been equally disappointing, with only one win from a possible six on the road.
Daan Heymans is the only absentee for Genk ahead of this game.

Prediction
The two league strugglers still searching for their first win of the Pro League season go head-to-head this Friday evening, each hoping to end their miserable start to the 2025/26 campaign. Leuven, however, remain the worse of the two, having failed to register a single victory in their last eight matches. Genk have also struggled away from home, but have at least managed two league wins from a possible five if we include the end of last season.
Both sides, desperate to finally claim all three points, have been involved in some high-scoring head-to-head encounters in recent seasons — in fact, both teams have scored in four of their last five meetings. That is also our prediction for this Friday.
Three reasons we expect Both Teams to Score
- Both teams have scored in 75% of previous matches between Leuven and Genk
- Both teams scored in the last two H2H meetings between Leuven and Genk at the The King Power AT Den Dreef Stadium
- Both teams scored in 60% of Leuven’s last 10 home matches
