There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Mechelen players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Sint-Truiden.  They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Sint-Truiden's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process.  

In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Mechelen recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.

Grabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Gent will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Oud-Heverlee Leuven.  In that game they had 34% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Gent who had 23 attempts and 4 on target.  

Supremo Marc Brys will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.  

The Oud-Heverlee Leuven travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Jón Þorsteinsson, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
