BetGenius backs Gent or Draw (Double Chance) at 76% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Over 2.5 Goals.
Gent welcome OH Leuven to the Planet Group arena in the third round of the Jupiler Pro League regular season. The hosts enter in fine domestic form, having opened their campaign with three straight league victories, including a 2-1 home triumph over Club Brugge. Scoring six goals and conceding only two across those fixtures, Gent occupy third position in the early standings.
In stark contrast, OH Leuven have endured a difficult start to the season, sitting 17th with zero points from their opening three games. The visitors have conceded eight goals across those three defeats, suffering a 3-1 loss away to Charleroi followed by consecutive home losses against Club Brugge and Standard Liege.
While historical meetings show OH Leuven have proven tricky opponents in the past, Gent's momentum and defensive solidity make them strong candidates to take points at home.
