Mechelen, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Oud-Heverlee Leuven will have left the Mechelen squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 69% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Oud-Heverlee Leuven managed 15 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 9, 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 have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at AFAS-Stadion, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Royal Antwerp, Recent FormRoyal Antwerp will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Gent, which ran out a 0-0 draw. In that game they recorded 64 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 6 shots on goal.
Having scored 12 and conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, manager Mark van Bommel could be forgiven for feeling their recent points haul doesn't quite deliver on the reward his team's strong performance deserves. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and they have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets overall.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Royal Antwerp, Vincent Janssen will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last time these two teams met Royal Antwerp enforced their superiority over Mechelen with a comfortable 5-0 win.
The Great Old have managed to keep a clean sheet against Mechelen in each of their previous 2 meetings. Mechelen have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Great Old.
Mechelen has lost the last 2 times they've faced Antwerp in the league.
Geoffry Hairemans will be feeling confident of netting goals for Mechelen in this one against Antwerp with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
