Mechelen will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against RWD Molenbeek.  In that game they had 77% possession and managed 24 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to RWD Molenbeek who had 6 attempts and 3 on target.  

Besnik Hasi will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, over the season so far, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 11 games at AFAS-Stadion.  

Goalscorer Norman Bassette will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Mechelen.

Anderlecht will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Union Saint-Gilloise last time out.  In that game they recorded 59 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 8 of their 14 shots on goal.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 21 of their 22 games this season.  

There will be mixed feelings from Paars-wit, having been undefeated in their last 5 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.  

On an individual basis, Anders Dreyer will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Anderlecht's last 6 league games.
