Oudenaarde welcome Merelbeke for another interesting Division 3: Group A fixture here at Burgemeester Thienpontstadion.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Oudenaarde form and stats
Merelbeke form and stats
The attacking players of Merelbeke have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
Last season was a triumph for Merelbeke in the national league as they took home the Division 3: Group A trophy. The championship was secured after 17 wins, 8 draws and only 5 defeats. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 10, drew 2 and lost 3.
