Oud-Heverlee Leuven Results
Oud-Heverlee Leuven struggles to find consistency and has had a mixed run at the playoff level. Their last form suggests a mix of defensive blunders and resilience, which might affect their performance against Westerlo. To get their momentum, let’s review their recent five games.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | W/L |
| 11.05.25 | JL | Dender vs Leuven | 5-0 | L |
| 03.05.25 | JL | Leuven vs KV Mechelen | 1-2 | L |
| 26.04.25 | JL | Leuven vs St. Liege | 1-1 | D |
| 22.04.25 | JL | St. Liege vs Leuven | 0-1 | W |
| 19.04.25 | JL | Leuven vs Dender | 4-4 | D |
With 13 let in over their last five games, Leuven’s form shows a concerning trend of goal concession. Dender’s 5-0 thrashing revealed defensive flaws, especially with relation to rapid changes. Their solitary victory against St. Liege indicates they can produce results, but only when their midfield regulates the tempo. The 4-4 draw with Dender exposes their attacking power as well as their incapacity to close games. Their unpredictability coming into the Westerlo encounter results from this inconsistency.
KVC Westerlo Results
Like their opponent, KVC Westerlo has displayed glimpses of genius but suffers with defensive stability. Their most recent games show a team capable of scoring but weak at the rear. Their last five outings are shown here.
| Date | Competition | Matchup | Result | W/L |
| 09.05.25 | JL | Charleroi vs Westerlo | 4-3 | L |
| 02.05.25 | JL | Westerlo vs Dender | 4-2 | W |
| 26.04.25 | JL | Westerlo vs KV Mechelen | 2-2 | D |
| 22.04.25 | JL | KV Mechelen vs Westerlo | 2-3 | W |
| 19.04.25 | JL | St. Liege vs Westerlo | 1-1 | D |
With 13 goals in five games, Westerlo’s stats suggest an offensive team. Still, 13 goals dropped in the same span highlight their defensive flaws. Wins against Dender and KV Mechelen show they can profit on inferior defenses; the high-scoring loss to Charleroi points to challenges against clinical attacks. Their regular scoring keeps them in games; yet, they must tighten up to guarantee points versus Leuven.
Oud-Heverlee Leuven vs KVC Westerlo Head-to-Head Results
Oud-Heverlee Leuven and KVC Westerlo have a very balanced head-to-head record, with draws predominating in recent events. Both sides have found the net often, which creates interesting confrontations. Let us go over their last five meetings.

| 02.03.25 | JL | Leuven vs Westerlo | 0-0 |
| 24.08.24 | JL | Westerlo vs Leuven | 1-1 |
| 25.05.24 | JL | Leuven vs Westerlo | 1-2 |
| 23.04.24 | JL | Westerlo vs Leuven | 1-1 |
Four of the last five games in the statistics reveal a tendency of close, low-scoring games with draws ending them. Both sides in these games average somewhat over one goal per game, indicating careful play. Although Westerlo’s one victory in 2024 shows they can beat Leuven, the frequency of stalemates suggests a fiercely contested fight this time.

Several crucial factors could decide the result of this game. Though they struggle defensively, both clubs have showed attacking potential that sets the conditions for an open encounter. The main points of observation here are these.
- Leuven has given up 13 goals in their last five games, Westerlo has allowed in the same number, suggesting poor backlines;

Oud-Heverlee Leuven vs KVC Westerlo Match Prediction 2025
The Oud-Heverlee Leuven vs KVC Westerlo odds reflect a tightly contested match, with neither team holding a clear edge. Driven by both sides’ attacking powers and defensive flaws, we project a 2-2 draw. Leuven’s home edge at Den Dreef combined with their fervent supporters should enable them to create opportunities, particularly with regard to Balikwisha and Mitrovic. But their most recent 5-0 loss to Dender revealed a weak backline that Westerlo’s in-form attackers Sakamoto and Frigan probably would target. Although Westerlo is dangerous because of their ability to score on the road seven goals in three away games their own defensive problems conceding four to Charleroi suggest they will struggle to keep a clean sheet. Four of five recent games ending in draws suggest a stalemate based on the head-to-head pattern. The great xG (Leuven 1.8, Westerlo 2.1 in recent games) of both teams hints to a goal-heavy affair. Late mistakes resulting from a packed schedule could also result from tiredness, therefore raising the probability of goals. Leuven’s injuries damage their midfield, but Westerlo’s depth provides a little advantage in squad rotation not enough to guarantee a win. The Oud-Heverlee Leuven vs KVC Westerlo odds for a draw (around 3.40) offer solid value for this balanced encounter.
