Another interesting game in the Pro League. Mechelen is in the 6th position after playing two matches. They welcome AS Eupen who are placed 9th after two games.

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.

AS Eupen form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Pro League away game of the season. During their previous season 17 away games resulted in 5 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats.

Eupen's last game was the home draw against Anderlecht (1-1). Midfield player Stef Peeters was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.65/10. Peeters hit four key passes. Eupen were so close to winning the game against Anderlecht, hitting the post three times.

A 2-2 draw at Club Brugge's stadium before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Eupen when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing four times, drawing one and winning one game.

It's early days yet, but AS Eupen has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
