St.Truiden - OH Leuven
Samed Bazdar leads St.Truiden against OH Leuven
Samed Bazdar spearheads the St.Truiden attack as they return to Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium for this matchday 10 clash on 1 November 2026. Despite a narrow 3-2 defeat against Club Brugge in their most recent league outing, the side has shown flashes of potency, including a 4-1 cup victory over Lommel in mid-October. The hosts will be forced to adjust their defensive setup, however, as Robert-Jan Vanwesemael remains sidelined through suspension. The expected XI, anchored by goalkeeper Leo Kokubo, will look to regain domestic consistency after a turbulent run of league results that has seen them alternate between high-scoring wins and defensive lapses.
OH Leuven arrive following a 2-2 draw with Lommel, aiming to build on a resilient period that includes a hard-fought point against Union St.Gilloise. With Siebe Schrijvers expected to dictate play in midfield, the visitors will look to exploit any gaps left by the home side. Recent history favors St.Truiden, who secured a 1-0 victory in their last meeting on 18 January 2026, but OH Leuven have proven difficult to break down lately. This encounter hinges on whether the visitors can maintain their defensive discipline against a St.Truiden side that often thrives when playing at home.
