Cercle Brugge – KV Mechelen

Cercle Brugge host KV Mechelen in a clash that could prove decisive for both sides fighting at the bottom of the table. The home side sit 15th with three points from three draws, having failed to find a win while conceding 11 goals in six matches. Mechelen, just a place below, have only two points after two stalemates and four defeats, their defense leaking 14 times. With the gap between 15th and 16th merely a single point, the encounter promises a tense battle for the crucial three points that could lift either club out of the relegation zone. Both teams will be desperate to turn their string of goalless draws into a much‑needed victory.
