Mechelen, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Standard Liège will be viewed as a positive outcome for Mechelen and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Standard Liège's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Steven Defour will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 3 goals, conceded 12, and picked up a meagre 2 points. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Charleroi, Recent FormCharleroi won't feel too deflated by the 3-1 home defeat to Gent, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. In that game they recorded 48 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 9 of their 17 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 11 of their 13 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Ken Nkuba will be hoping to create problems for Mechelen in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Charleroi.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
Mechelen will be confident of finding the net in this one against Les Zèbres, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 9 encounters between the two sides. Malinwa have struggled to keep Charleroi at bay when these two teams have met at AFAS-Stadion, during the last 3 times they have hosted Charleroi in the league, they have conceded a total of 7 goals.
Charleroi have had a poor run of results when visiting Mechelen, drawing their last 5 and having not won any of their last 6 league encounters at AFAS-Stadion.
Geoffry Hairemans has scored in each of Mechelen's last 3 home games against Charleroi.
Mechelen manager Steven Defour has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. David Bates (Knock), Rafik Belghali (Hamstring), Rayane Falchou (Personal reasons), Yonas Malede (Hamstring), Rob Schoofs (Muscle), Nikola Storm (Knee), Jannes Van Hof (Meniscus) and Sandy Walsh (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Ahmed Benbouali (Ligament) and Ken Nkuba (Meniscus) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Felice Mazzù will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
