Mechelen, Recent FormMechelen will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 away win against Royal Antwerp. In that game they had 34% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Royal Antwerp who had 15 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Besnik Hasi will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from Malinwa, although undefeated in their last 5 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Mechelen, Norman Bassette will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Kortrijk, Recent FormWith Union Saint-Gilloise sitting a clear 15 places above them in the table, Kortrijk won't feel totally dejected with their 3-1 home defeat by them last time out. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Union Saint-Gilloise's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 8 of their 13 games on the road.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 1 of their 13 league games on the road.
The last time these two teams met Mechelen enforced their superiority over Kortrijk with a comfortable 0-3 win.
Mechelen will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against De Kerels, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 9 meetings between the two. Malinwa have struggled to keep Kortrijk at bay when these two teams have met at AFAS-Stadion, during the last 3 times they have hosted Kortrijk in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals. Malinwa have an impressive record of scoring goals against Kortrijk, with a tally of 15 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
Mechelen will be looking to continue their winning streak against Kortrijk, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Mechelen player Nikola Storm will be feeling confident about recording goals against Kortrijk ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 5 goals from their last 5 meetings.
