Union Saint-Gilloise, Recent FormLast time out, Union Saint-Gilloise went away feeling content with a 3-1 away win against Charleroi Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 9 of which were on target, in contrast to Charleroi, who had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Alexander Blessin will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded5 goals during those same matches. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 15 of their 17 games this season.
They've had a good run of form at home recently, with 5 straight wins in a row.
In front of goal, Mohamed Amoura has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 7 times in that run of games.
Mechelen, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against Club Brugge in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Mechelen. They came away from that fixture with a 44% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Club Brugge, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Rob Schoofs will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Union Saint-Gilloise in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Mechelen.
It was an unmittigated disaster for Union Saint-Gilloise last time they met Mechelen in the league, with Malinwa turning the form book on its head to beat Union 4-0.
The last 3 matches between Union and Malinwa show that Union have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
In the league, Union has a good track record when they host Mechelen, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
