Union Saint-Gilloise, Recent FormUnion Saint-Gilloise will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Genk. During that encounter they had 30% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their ongoing goal scoring streak now stands at 26 games in a row. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They have had an excellent run of form at Het Joseph Marienstadion recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Victor Boniface will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Union Saint-Gilloise.
Mechelen, Recent FormMechelen will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Sint-Truiden. They came away from that fixture with a 58% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Sint-Truiden, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've not managed to settle at all away from home this season, losing 10 of their 13 league games on the road.
Geoffry Hairemans will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Mechelen.
It was an unmittigated disaster for Union Saint-Gilloise last time they met Mechelen in the league, with Mechelen turning the form book on its head to beat Union 3-0.
