Goal Statistics

Mechelen's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday evening, not least because Oud-Heverlee Leuven have conceded in each of their last 5 Pro League outings. A PG of 1.8 for F. Vanderbiest's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Oud-Heverlee Leuven of late. It has been 10 Pro League matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday evening against Mechelen.
