Mechelen, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Mechelen players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of RWD Molenbeek.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home 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.
Rob Schoofs 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.
Union Saint-Gilloise, Recent FormIn their last match Union Saint-Gilloise enforced their superiority over Oud-Heverlee Leuven with a 5-1 home win.
Manager Alexander Blessin will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 34 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games away from home.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 10 games.
Goalscorer Dennis Eckert Ayensa will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Union Saint-Gilloise.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Union Saint-Gilloise.
In the league, Mechelen has a good track record when they host Union, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Mechelen 2 - 1 Union Saint-GilloiseThere is only really one injury concern for the Mechelen manager Steven Defour ahead of this clash, with Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Defour a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Union manager Alexander Blessin has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
