SK Beveren – KV Mechelen

SK Beveren head into the clash with KV Mechelen perched in ninth place, having amassed nine points from three wins and three defeats while netting seven and conceding ten. Mechelen sit near the bottom at 16th, with only two points from two draws and four losses, a goal record of five for and 14 against. The home side will look to tighten up a leaky defence and turn their modest goal tally into a winning formula, while the visitors will be desperate to claw back from the relegation zone and finally register their first victory of the campaign. Both teams know that three points could dramatically reshape the mid‑table scramble and the battle for survival.
