Westerlo take on the visitors Leuven in the round 20 match of Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, January 13th at Het Kuipje (Westerlo).
Westerlo was able to return to the top division of the country. De Kemphanen will celebrate its 90th anniversary this year. The main and in fact the only success was winning the national cup in 2001. After 10 years, it turned out to reach the final again, but they lost there. In the championship, it was often necessary to fly out to the 2nd league of the country. It came back from there again last spring, and from 1st place. It is clear that the main goal at the same time looked simply not to be relegated back. But it was possible, on the contrary, to break through to the top half of the table. And in the last round, due to a penalty goal, Chadli (who played for Tottenham at the peak of his career) helped beat Cercle Brugge on the road.

Leuven becomes a regular in the Jupiler League. "OHL" not so long ago, in 2012, debuted at this level. It didn’t work out for a long time, but soon the same Thai investors who own Leicester became interested in the project. With their support, it was possible to return to the Belgian top division again. And already there twice in a row it turned out to simply “survive” there, taking the final 11th place. Now it turns out to stay higher. Yes, the winter segment began with the elimination from the Cup after 1-3 at home with Kortrijk. However, further away it turned out to snatch a draw on the Brugge field due to a late goal. But then there was a new duel with Kortrijk, and a new misfire, 2-3.
In 9 last head-to-head fights, Westerlo has only 2 wins and 6 losses. In both last matches, Leuven won, 3-2 away in the cup and 2-0 at home in the championship. Westerlo are not bad, but Leuven will also try to get something. So let's stop at "total over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
