Oud-Heverlee Leuven host Royal Antwerp FC in the Belgian Pro League Conference League playoff group.

Neither side has much room for error left, and qualification now looks extremely unlikely for both teams.

Leuven’s playoff campaign has collapsed

Oud-Heverlee Leuven finished 12th in the regular standings with 34 points.

However, their performances in the playoff group have been disastrous.

Seven matches without a win

Leuven remain winless after seven playoff matches and sit 14 points behind seventh place with only three rounds remaining.

Defensive struggles continue

Leuven have conceded at least two goals in five consecutive matches.

Their home form has also been poor:

• Three straight home defeats
• Four losses in their last five home matches

Antwerp still have a slim chance

Royal Antwerp FC still have a mathematical opportunity to climb the table.

However, they likely need to win all remaining fixtures and rely on results elsewhere.

Away form offers encouragement

Antwerp have won their last two away matches.

Still, defensive issues remain a concern, with the visitors failing to keep a clean sheet in four consecutive games.
