The historical record between these two sides is perfectly balanced over the last 10 encounters, with four wins apiece and two draws. Notably, recent head-to-head meetings have often been cagey affairs, with data indicating that neither team has managed to hold a lead at the half-time interval in their most recent clashes.

• OH Leuven have lost four consecutive Pro League matches to start the 2026/27 season.
• SK Beveren have kept a clean sheet in their only league victory so far this term.
• Leuven have failed to score in 75% of their away matches this season.
• Beveren have conceded two or more goals in three of their first four league games.

Tim Bakens is expected to shuffle his pack following the Genk defeat, with St. Pauli loanee Jannik Robatsch tipped for a full league debut in defense alongside potential debutant Alessandro Fontanarosa. Jearl Margaritha and Cheick Conde are also pushing for starts. For the visitors, Timmy Simons may recall Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi to the starting XI to provide a much-needed goal threat. No major injuries or suspensions have been reported for either side.
