Mechelen, Recent FormThe 3-1 away defeat to Genk will not have sat easily with the Mechelen squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they recorded 59% of the possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 6 of their 14 shots on goal.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Steven Defour will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 6 goals they scored. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at AFAS-Stadion recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Zulte Waregem, Recent FormZulte Waregem will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with Standard Liège in which they suffered a 3-0 home defeat. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Standard Liège's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manager Mbaye Leye will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 15 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless. Their form has been poor this season, losing 10 of 15 league games.
On an individual basis, Jelle Vossen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Zulte Waregem's last 6 league games.
It ended in disappointment and a 3-2 defeat for Mechelen last time they met Zulte Waregem in the league, with Essevee defying the odds to take the win.
The Mechelen defence has struggled in front of its own fans when Essevee have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 meetings at AFAS-Stadion. When SVZW are away to Mechelen in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game.
Mechelen player Nikola Storm will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against SVZW, having scored 5 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
Mechelen manager Steven Defour has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Lucas Bijker (Cruciate ligament), Kerim Mrabti (Knee) and Jordi Vanlerberghe (Heart problems) are all currently out of contention for this game.
SVZW manager Mbaye Leye has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
