Charleroi, Recent FormThe Charleroi players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sint-Truiden recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They achieved 35% possession in that match and had 4 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Sint-Truiden's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Felice Mazzù will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at home.
They have had a good run of form at Stade du Pays de Charleroi recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Mechelen, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Mechelen managed a remarkable 3-0 home win against Standard Liège. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 27 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to Standard Liège, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have amassed a limited number of points from their last 6 matches, despite only letting in 3 goals; this has been primarily due to their indifferent form in front of goal with 7 goals spread across those 6 matches. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
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 keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Charleroi in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Mechelen.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Charleroi who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Mechelen.
It's been a long time since Charleroi at home has managed to find the back of the Malinwa net, having failed to score against them in their last 3 encounters at Stade du Pays de Charleroi. Malinwa will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 10 encounters with Charleroi. Goals come easy for Mechelen when they travel to Les Zèbres, having recorded 8 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.67 goals per match.
In the league, Mechelen has a good track record when they travel to Charleroi, getting the better of them to win their last 3 games.
Mechelen man Geoffry Hairemans will be confident about extending his scoring record against Charleroi, having hit the netting 5 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Charleroi manager Felice Mazzù ahead of this clash, with Stefan Knežević (Unknown) missing out, which gives Mazzù a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Besnik Hasi has a number of injury concerns in his Mechelen squad to contend with: Rafik Belghali (Hamstring), Boli Bolingoli (Hamstring), Toon Raemaekers (Cruciate ligament), Nikola Storm (Knee) and Jannes Van Hof (Meniscus)
