Kortrijk, Recent FormAfter a crushing 3-0 away loss to Union Saint-Gilloise, the Kortrijk squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Union Saint-Gilloise's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Glen De Boeck will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 14 games overall.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories. It's fair to say that their form in the league has not been good this season, given they have clocked up just 2 wins from 14 matches.
Mechelen, Recent FormMechelen will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Charleroi. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Charleroi who had 6 attempts and 3 on target.
Having conceded 10 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Rob Schoofs will be hoping to create problems for Kortrijk in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Mechelen.
Kortrijk suffered the disappointment of a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Mechelen the last time they met in the league.
Kortrijk will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Malinwa, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 9 meetings between the two. When Mechelen visit De Kerels in the league, goals tend to happen, with 10 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 3.33 goals per match.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Mechelen has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Kortrijk in 5 games.
Mechelen player Nikola Storm will be looking to cause Kortrijk some problems having scored 4 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Guldensporenstadion.
