Leuven seek first points as Standard eye summit
Bottom-placed OH Leuven are fighting to kickstart their campaign against a Standard Liege side currently occupying a continental qualification spot.
OH Leuven enter this fixture 16th in the table with zero points, sitting inside the early relegation zone. Timmy Simons’ men have endured a difficult start, conceding six goals across two defeats against Club Brugge and Charleroi. However, they head into this clash with extra rest following the postponement of their gameweek-three fixture against Gent.
Standard Liege sit 6th with five points and are protecting an unbeaten start to the season. They arrive with momentum following a 2-0 victory over RAAL La Louvière, a result secured by a rapid five-minute brace from substitute Salieu Drammeh. This follows high-scoring draws against KV Mechelen and Cercle Brugge, proving they have the firepower to compete at the top end of the table.
