About OH Leuven
OH Leuven play in the top tier of Belgian football and have recently finished their regular season. The Belgian league operates as a standard league format where 18 teams play against each other twice before there is a play-off split. The top four teams compete in a Championship play-off for the title whilst there is another split for teams placed between fifth and eighth where they compete for European football next season. OH Leuven missed out on a place in the play-offs as they finished in tenth place, two points off Cercle Brugge who finished eighth.
