Match preview

KV Mechelen host KVC Westerlo in a round five Jupiler Pro League encounter featuring two sides still searching for their first league victory of the season. Mechelen sit 14th with two points from four matches, having recorded two draws and two defeats while conceding nine goals across the campaign.

KVC Westerlo enter this clash in 16th position with a single point after four fixtures. Their major vulnerability has been a porous defensive structure, having shipped 14 goals in total and conceding at an average rate of 3.5 goals per match away from home.

With both teams struggling defensively and yet to register a clean sheet this season, their recent encounters suggest an open match. The last ten head-to-head meetings between these clubs produced an average of 3.6 goals per game, with both teams finding the net in 80 percent of those fixtures.

Confidence74%

Both teams have displayed consistent attacking output coupled with severe defensive frailties. Mechelen have scored five goals in four league outings, led by M. van Brederode who has three goals to his name, but they have also conceded nine. Westerlo have matched Mechelen's five goals scored while conceding 14 times in four games. Neither side has managed a single clean sheet in the current campaign, and eight of their last ten direct meetings have seen both teams score.
