Mechelen form and stats
When playing at home in the Pro League, Mechelen have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 7 games.
Mechelen's last game was hosting Standard Liege (placed 5th) and winning 2-0. Finally, a league win after four games without one. Vanlerberghe, defender, was given a rating of 7.91/10 in that game, top of the team. Vanlerberghe scored one goal and won 6 of 9 duels.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Gent.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mechelen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 1 and lost 4.
Lots of goals? Nobody knows the future, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league games with this club has seen three or more goals.
Mechelen have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne with 13 goals in 7 league matches. Mechelen have conceded 12 from these games.
AS Eupen form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for AS Eupen so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose).
Impressive finishing from Peeters, Charles-Cook, Magnee and N'Dri secured the home win 4-2 against OH Leuven in their previous game. As you can tell from the result, the match against OH Leuven was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Midfielder Peeters was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 9.31. Peeters scored one goal, served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
A 1-5 defeat away at Cercle Brugge before that.We have checked recent matches where AS Eupen have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 12 games were 5 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
The AS Eupen manager Storck has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Mechelen four wins, three draws and AS Eupen three victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
