Leuven Team News
Leuven finished the previous season in the middle of the table, without danger of relegation, but also without a chance to reach Europe. During the preparatory period, they played seven matches and recorded two defeats against Leicester 4:2 and Genk 4:0, with as many as five victories. They defeated Berthem 9:0, KRC Mechelen 3:0, Tienen 4:0, Beerschot 1:0 and Beveren 5:1.
In the first round of the Belgian Championship, Leuven played away against Charleroi. The home team took the lead in the ninth minute of the match, after which their player, Nikola Štulić, received a straight red card, and the game took a different turn. Leuven had the initiative and attacked all the time, but they only managed to equalize with a penalty goal in the 83rd minute of the match.
On Saturday, Leuven has the opportunity to get their first win this season, and we believe they will do their best to make it happen.

RWDM Team News
RWDM finished the previous season in first place in the Challenger Pro League and placed among the most elite Belgian clubs for the first time.
The guests played three friendly matches in the preparatory period. In the first game, they lost to Kortrijk 2:1. RWDM recorded a defeat in the second match as well, this time against Hertha 2:1, while their only victory was against Lyon 1:0.
Although the result of the last warm-up game was promising and gave hope before the start of the season, the result of the first round of the championship against Genk was devastating for RWDM. They lost to Genk 4:0, and it is interesting that after the first half, the score was 0:3.

Leuven vs RWDM Prediction
Leuven, unlike their rivals, has the experience of playing Super League matches, which at this stage of the championship, can be a massive advantage over RWDM. In the first match against Genk, the guests showed that they will have a difficult task to stay in the league, and because of all the above, we believe Leuven will get their first win of the season in this match.
