Lommel SK remains unbeaten with the reward of maintaining a nice first place. Tom Van Imschoot’s team knows how to effortlessly thread the points through its attractive football style. On the other hand, there is a team that certainly did not start the season badly, but lost the last two games. Can Oud-Heverlee Leuven get out of its shape on a Lommel in lion form?
Lommel:
Lommel continues to prove his value time after time. After the confrontation in Roeselare, it remains at the top of the table after four match days. Van Imschoot, however, had to content himself with a point-division, even though it was not so easy. He was satisfied with the footballing part, something less about the referee. After two yellow cards for Romeni Scott Bitsindou and thus the exclusion only 30 minutes into the match, they also got a dubious penalty kick. ‘We had the match well under control and then came the penalty phase. I have my reservations about that anyway. ‘ according to Van Imschoot.
Lommel seems to be standing steadily on his legs. It gives away fewer and fewer chances to each match, while it continues to play football for the moment. In advance, Lommel was never mentioned in the list of favorites. People loudly called Mechelen or Beerschot Wilrijk roared, but in the meantime the PhD student is also whispered softly. The inhabitants of Lommel are hoping for it, and hope makes life, is not it?
Oud-Heverlee Leuven:
OH Leuven had a more than decent start to the new season. It was able to keep the two big favorites from winning and even managed to win a victory in the field of Union Saint-Gilloise by a last minute winner of Kenneth Schuermans. The last few weeks, however, do not run smoothly. The cup match against Dessel was lost 3-1, as well as the last league game against Westerlo.
Nigel Pearson could not sufficiently prepare his men for the match against Westerlo. There was a lack of confidence and faith in a victory. This is something that should not be allowed, he knows that himself. However, he remains down-to-earth and adheres to the fact that they have already played worse games. A strange statement that certainly does not reassure the fans. The supporters expect more: more of the game and more of the results. It seems that D-day is approaching quietly, let’s hope for Pearson that they are ready, both mentally and on football.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.78
