OH Leuven vs Westerlo Prediction 16.05.2025 | Jupiler Pro League

• Competition: Belgium - Jupiler Pro League
• Date: Friday, 16th, May 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Den Dreef (Heverlee)

OH Leuven and Westerlo are set to face off at Den Dreef on Friday in the penultimate round of the Conference League Group, with little left to play for.

For the fifth season in a row, Oud-Heverlee Leuven will have to settle for merely clinging to top-flight survival, as their campaign in the Europa Conference League playoff group turned into a major letdown with just a single win across their opening eight outings.

Since rejoining the top flight in 2022-23, Westerlo have consistently chased the dream of European football but that ambition keeps slipping through their fingers in the final stages, just like this season when they squandered a huge 3-1 lead in a crucial Conference League playoff clash and fell in a heartbreaking seven-goal rollercoaster against Charleroi.

OH Leuven vs Westerlo Betting Tips : BTTS

With neither side having anything meaningful left to fight for as they kick off the penultimate round of the Conference League group stage, we anticipate a carefree and uninhibited Friday clash where attacking instincts could take over and goals might flow freely at both ends. The leaky backlines in both camps only reinforce the anticipation of a fast-paced and chance-laden encounter, as OH Leuven continue to struggle at the back with just a single shutout in six games and Westerlo consistently faltering by conceding two or more in each of their last four. Thanks to their leaky backline combined with a ruthless front line, De Kemphanen's recent contests have turned into goal-heavy thrillers, with each of their last four fixtures producing 2+ goals at both ends and a jaw-dropping total of 22 strikes. On top of everything, the opening playoff clash between these two sides delivered a goal-packed spectacle that ended in an eye-catching 2-2 stalemate, so with both outfits boasting firepower up front and frailties at the back, we’re backing another wide-open battle with both nets likely to bulge.
