PSG vs Oud Heverlee Prediction 1 October 2026
🔊 It was OHL Leuven who knocked PSG out of the Champions League a year ago. In December, the Belgian side came away from the Parc des Princes with a goalless draw, and that result ended PSG's chances of reaching the knockout phase before the final matchday. That setback is part of a longer run: PSG have gone seven consecutive league phase matches without a win. They will look to end that sequence on 1 October in the second matchday of the league phase.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between these two sides is brief. They have met once, and PSG failed to find a way past Lowie Seynhaeve on that occasion. The Parisians controlled the game but created few clear chances. In the second half, the Belgian goalkeeper saved a shot from Romée Leuchter. Both players from that evening are still at their respective clubs: Seynhaeve remains at Leuven, and Leuchter is still in PSG's attack. In their previous shared league phase, the Belgian side made two trips to Paris and left without a defeat on either occasion - as well as the PSG match, they drew 2-2 with FC Paris.
Head-to-head statistics PSG - Oud Heverlee

PSG (W) Team Overview
In the French championship, Paulo Cesar's side have made a perfect start: three wins, no goals conceded and second place. Two decisive moments have belonged to Merveille Kanjinga. She opened the scoring against Strasbourg, and it was her goal in the seventh minute of added time that sealed the win over Nantes.
Europe has been harder going. PSG only got past Eintracht after extra time. Both legs ended level in normal time, despite the Germans being reduced to ten women from the 66th minute of the second leg. PSG scored four goals in the additional thirty minutes, two of them from captain Sakina Karchaoui.

Oud Heverlee Leuven (W) Team Overview
The Belgian champions saw both their manager and core squad change over the summer. The club appointed 36-year-old Ster Habibzadeh, who had previously developed women's football at Patro Eisden. There were plenty of doubters, but the answer came quickly: Leuven beat three opponents in qualifying and reached the Champions League league phase for the second consecutive season.
In the Belgian league, Habibzadeh's side sit third after four rounds. Leuven have gone 19 matches without defeat, but draws are proving costly: Anderlecht have taken all 12 points and moved four ahead. The gap grew further on Saturday. The Belgian side were leading at home against Club NXT but conceded from a penalty in stoppage time.

Latest news
PSG (W)
❓ Paulo Cesar's main injury concerns are in defence and midfield. Olga Carmona and Griedge Mbock both picked up muscular injuries in the last friendly before the season. Mbock was already on the bench in Madrid. Ahead of the Real match, the coach said the medical staff would determine when Carmona would be available to return. Jackie Groenen suffered a hamstring injury in the first match against Eintracht on 26 August. The midfielder was left out of the Netherlands squad announced on 29 September due to that injury. The rest of the squad were fine ahead of Madrid, according to the coach. There was also one logistical update: the match has been moved from the Parc des Princes to the Campus PSG, with the club citing operational restrictions.
Oud Heverlee Leuven (W)
❓ Last summer Leuven lost four key players: Sara Poustai, Aurélie Reinders, Linde Vefkind and Zenia Mertens. Reinders is now playing for FC Paris. According to Habibzade, the departures of those leaders were covered collectively, with players who had less game time last season getting their chance. The most striking example is 17-year-old Kadia De Köster, who had scored three goals in three league rounds ahead of the match against Roma. In terms of scheduling, the visitors have an advantage: Leuven played a league match on Saturday, while PSG last took to the pitch on 22 September.
Predicted Lineups
📋 Predicted starting XI - PSG: Kiedrzynek - Izabela, Samura, Dudek, Elimbi-Gilbert - Esteros, Echegini, Karshaoui - Ajibade, Leuchter, Feller.
📋 Predicted starting XI - Leuven: Seynhaeve - Janssen, Everaerts, Smith, Gielen - Bismans, Bostels, Kuipers, Papatheodorou - Koneijnenberg, De Köster.
⚽ Goals Prediction
PSG have scored more than two goals in just one of their last 13 matches. The recent example from Madrid is telling: Real took the lead in the second minute, the Parisians replied only from the penalty spot, and the match ended 1-1. On the other side, Leuven have a solid defence, conceding just twice in four Belgian league rounds. In France, PSG themselves have scored five goals in three league rounds. The pick is PSG Team Total - Under 2.5.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Leuven have had fewer than ten corners in five consecutive Champions League matches. Their opponents find it difficult to win corners against the Belgians: in their last ten official matches, they earned just 32. Leuven themselves delivered 56 corners in that same period, making a combined total of 88. We are not expecting a high corner count from this fixture. The pick is Total Corners - Under 9.5.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Leuven play notably cleanly. In their last ten official matches, the Belgians picked up 11 yellow cards while their opponents received just four - 15 cards combined across those games. PSG's matches have produced more: 16 for the Parisians and 17 for their opponents, 33 in total. We are not expecting a card-heavy match from this pair. The pick is Total Yellow Cards - Under 3.5.
📌 Editorial Prediction
PSG have scored in ten consecutive home matches, so the hosts are unlikely to go without a goal here. In the Champions League, their defensive record has been shakier: PSG have both scored and conceded in 7 of their last 8 matches in the competition. For OHL Leuven, that is an opportunity. The Belgians have found the net in 19 of their last 21 matches. We expect both teams to score, and this tie may not produce a winner. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
