OH Leuven vs Roma prediction
Champions of Belgium last season, OH Leuven have begun their new domestic season with two wins and a draw, while they have made it to the league phase the hard way having overcome TSC, Feyenoord, and Czarni in qualifying.
They performed well on their Women's Champions League debut last season, earning six points in the league phase and making it into the knockout phase play-offs, where their run was ended by English heavyweights Arsenal.
Roma were two points worse off in last season's league phase, with their 14th-placed finish seeing them fall short of reaching the knockout rounds.
The Italian side, fresh off a penalty shoot-out defeat to Juventus in the final of the Serie A Women's Cup, did not need to go through Women's Champions League qualifying given that they secured their third league title in four years last season.
These two sides also met in Belgium in last season's league phase, with a closely-contested encounter ending 1-1.
While Roma possess a little more talent and flair in their squad, OH Leuven are a solid unit and are only really outclassed by the very top teams. There could be very little in this one, with under 2.5 goals a potential market to target.
