KV Mechelen – KVC Westerlo

A crushing 0‑4 defeat at the Jan Breydel Stadium left KV Mechelen rooted to the bottom of the table, still languishing in 16th place with just two points from six games. Their visitors, KVC Westerlo, climbed to 13th, bolstering their tally to seven points after two wins and a draw. The result widened the gap in the head‑to‑head record this season, giving Westerlo the sole victory in their two meetings. Mechelen’s goal drought deepened, with only five goals scored and fourteen conceded overall, while Westerlo’s attack continued to find the net, adding to their 13‑16 season‑long goal difference. The four‑goal margin underscores a widening divide between a struggling Mechelen side and a Westerlo team that is beginning to pull away from the mid‑table.
