OH Leuven

Emmanuel Addai is the standout story for OH Leuven. Handed his first start of the last five matches at STVV, the winger is expected to keep his place for Mechelen's visit after scoring in the 2-1 win.

The hosts remain without several players: Noë Dussenne has a hip injury and Óscar Gil is out with a knee problem after each started three of the last five matches. Abdoul Karim Traoré, who started twice in that period, has a minor injury, while Thibaud Verlinden is also sidelined with a knee problem. In goal, Dani van den Heuvel is expected to start after featuring in four of the last five games.

KV Mechelen

Mechelen will be without Bouke Boersma, a regular in attack who started three of the last five matches and was taken off in the final ten minutes each time, but is now sidelined with a muscle injury. Benito Raman and Myron van Brederode are expected to lead the line, with Thérence Koudou providing support after five straight starts.

In goal, Ortwin De Wolf is expected to start ahead of Nacho Mirás after the pair shared the position during this run. Luc Marijnissen, restricted to a brief substitute appearance at Kortrijk, is expected to return to the back three alongside Kobe Corbanie and José Marsà.
