Anderlecht, Recent FormLast time out, Anderlecht went away feeling content with a 3-1 away win against Eupen They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Eupen's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Brian Riemer will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Anderlecht, Kasper Dolberg will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Mechelen, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against Royal Antwerp in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Mechelen. In that game they recorded 36 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 22 shots on goal.
Manager Steven Defour will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away 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.
On an individual basis, Rob Schoofs is giving Mechelen's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Anderlecht last time they met Mechelen in the league, with the game ending in a 2-3 defeat.
Anderlecht will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Malinwa. We have seen plenty of goals from Paars-wit when they play at home against Mechelen. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game. When Mechelen visit Paars-wit in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
Mario Stroeykens has scored in each of Anderlecht's last 2 league games against Mechelen.
