OH Leuven - Cercle Bruges
OH Leuven and Cercle Brugge seek revival at King Power at Den Dreef
Siebe Schrijvers remains a vital creative engine for OH Leuven as they look to arrest a difficult run of form on 12 September 2026. The midfielder is expected to anchor an XI that has struggled to find the back of the net, having failed to score in their last two outings, including a 3-0 defeat to SK Beveren. With Henok Teklab sidelined due to injury, the onus falls on forwards Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi and Shin Yamada to lead the line and provide the attacking spark needed to break their current losing streak in the Belgian Pro League.
Cercle Brugge arrive at King Power at Den Dreef facing their own challenges, having failed to secure a victory in their last five league matches. A 3-0 loss to Gent highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that Gaetan Coucke and his back line will be eager to rectify. Following their 1-2 defeat in their last encounter with Leuven in November 2025, the visitors will look to restore confidence by tightening their structure and finding the clinical edge that has eluded them in recent weeks.
