OH Leuven vs Arsenal prediction
OH Leuven exceeded expectations by reaching the knockout stage play-offs in what is their first season playing European football.
The Belgian side snuck into the final qualification spot having lost just two of their six league phase matches, although one of those came against Arsenal on Matchday 6. Since then, they have won all six Belgian league matches they have contested, and sit top of their domestic league standings.
For different reasons, Arsenal can also said to be surprise participants in the play-offs, as the holders were expected to advance directly to the quarter-finals.
The Gunners did win their final three league phase fixtures though, and are coming off the back of an important win over Man City in the Women's Super League on Sunday.
Arsenal beat Leuven 3-0 in Belgium in both sides' last European fixture, and the English side are firm favourites here again. Renee Slegers' side will be keen to wrap this tie up early in the first leg, so another comfortable win beckons.
OH Leuven vs Arsenal tip: Double result – Arsenal / Arsenal
