OH Leuven will host Genk at the Den Dreef Stadium on Saturday in the second round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side locked horns with newly-promoted Beerschot in their league opener last weekend and put out a solid defensive showing but failed to impress in attack as the two sides played out a goalless draw.
The hosts now sit 10th in the league table with one point from an obtainable three and will be looking to pick up their first win of the new campaign this weekend.
Genk endured a disappointing pre-season campaign and have now begun the new campaign in a similar fashion, playing out a goalless draw against Standard Liege on matchday one. They were the far better side in the matchup between the two sides at the Cegeka Arena but failed to capitalize on their possessional dominance and ultimately had to settle for a point.
The visitors sit a place above their midweek opponents in the league table, although they are level on points and will be looking to pull away with a win on Saturday.
