Royal Antwerp recently secured an impressive 4-2 victory over KVC Westerlo in the Belgian Pro League. This thrilling encounter took place at Het Kuipje, where The Great Old delivered a strong performance against The Kemphanen. The defeat to Antwerp marked a significant event in Westerlo's recent run of results.

During that match against Royal Antwerp, KVC Westerlo managed only 35% possession and produced four shots on target. Despite goals from Isa Sakamoto and Shunsuke Saito, they could not overcome Antwerp's dominance and ultimately suffered a 4-2 loss. This result highlighted the challenges Westerlo was facing.

Following their defeat to Royal Antwerp, KVC Westerlo has struggled to find their form. Their most recent game saw them lose again, this time 2-0 against Charleroi. These consecutive setbacks put The Kemphanen under pressure, especially with their upcoming fixture against Oud-Heverlee Leuven on Saturday 2 May.

Westerlo's statistics in the Pro League show an inconsistent period. In their last 10 league games, they recorded 5 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws. They averaged 1.3 goals per game and maintained 47.4% possession. However, their head-to-head record against OH Leuven is stronger, boasting four consecutive wins, including a 2-0 victory in their last encounter.

Oud-Heverlee Leuven themselves are also in a difficult spell, having suffered three consecutive defeats, including a 2-0 home loss to Charleroi. Felice Mazzu's team recorded 57% possession in that game but managed only three shots on goal, underscoring their offensive struggles.

Given the recent form of both teams and Royal Antwerp's earlier victory over Westerlo, the match between Westerlo and OH Leuven will be crucial for both clubs. Westerlo will aim to bounce back after their loss to The Great Old and leverage their strong H2H record against OH Leuven to secure a much-needed victory.
