Mechelen, Recent FormAfter a crushing 5-0 away loss to Royal Antwerp, the Mechelen squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Royal Antwerp who had 16 attempts and 10 on target.
Steven Defour, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 7 goals scored. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
There will be mixed feelings from Mechelen, although undefeated in their last 8 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Geoffry Hairemans will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Mechelen.
Sint-Truiden, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Genk will be viewed as a positive outcome for Sint-Truiden and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they recorded 43 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 9 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Bernd Hollerbach will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Gianni Bruno has given the travelling Sint-Truiden support something to shout about on the road.
It was one to forget for Mechelen last time they met Sint-Truiden in the league, falling to a 3-1 defeat.
