Leuven vs Beerschot VA Prediction: The home side will not disappoint

In the Jupiler Pro League, Leuven will take on Beerschot VA at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion. Both teams settled for a draw in their last meeting. Will there be a winner in this one? Below is my match analysis, which also offers the best betting possibilities. 

Leuven

Leuven's last game was against Cercle Brugge, and they suffered a defeat. In a game that ended 1-0, Leuven had 53 percent of the possession, attempting ten shots with only two on target. However, prior encounters to that defeat saw this team pull off an unbeaten run of six games. In that run, Leuven drew Dender, Union Saint-Gilloise, Anderlecht, and Standard Liege while defeating Waragen and Charleroi. 

In the league this season, Leuven have 22 points from 19 games. In those matches, this team scored 24 goals while conceding 31.

Beerschot VA

Beerschot VA played Kortrijk the previous time in the league and could only take a point. Despite having 55 per cent of the possession with 19 shots and six on target, Beerschot VA saw a comeback win overturned by Nacho's strike in the 83rd minute, denying them maximum points. In the meantime, this team has failed to win any of their last three matches. In that run, they lost to Anderlecht while drawing Standard Liege to a goalless draw. 

In the league this season, Beerschot VA have scored 18 goals from 19 matches while conceding 40. In that run, Beerschot VA picked up 12 points and are ten points behind Conference League spots. 

Expert Betting Tips

The past meetings between these sides have ended with close scores, and I expect a similar outcome here. While Beerschot VA have been very poor this season, their recent matchups have shown quality, and I expect a lot from them. However, Leuven have not been playing badly at home, looking at how their last matches ended in this venue. While Beerschot VA have been a threat offensively lately, I expect them to score, but with Beerschot VA quality, a bet on them winning is a good option at home.
