Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Newcomers Beerschot VA take on Leuven at their Olympisch Stadion in the opening match of the new Jupiler League campaign. Beerschot VA defeated OFI Crete in their last warm-up game, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. A man to watch in the home team will be Tom Reyners, who scored 10 goals in the Challenger Pro League last term.
Leuven, on the other hand, were producing fine performances in preseason, with the team beating the likes of Bartem-Leefdaal, Heist, and RKC Waalwijk, while losing to Lens. As both Leuven and Beerschot VA are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the season opener, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Leuven summer signing from Standard Liege, William Balikwisha, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.
