KV Mechelen – Zulte Waregem

KV Mechelen host a struggling Zulte Waregem, looking to snap a winless run after two draws and four defeats that have left them on just two points in 16th place. The visitors sit comfortably in fifth, having amassed 11 points from three victories, two draws and a single loss, and they enter the match with a solid +6 goal difference. Mechelen will need to tighten up a defence that has conceded 14 goals, while Waregem will hope their respectable 10‑4 scoring record can break the Belgian side’s poor form. The clash promises a sharp contrast between a team desperate for points and a side eager to consolidate its position near the top of the table.
