In a weekend match on Saturday Mar 19th, in week 32, AS Eupen will host Mechelen at Stadion Am Kehrweg in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Pro League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. 16th placed AS Eupen is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Zulte-Waregem. Alessandro Ciranni scored the first goal for Zulte-Waregem in the 11th minute, then Jean-Luc Dompe added another in the 61st minute In the end, AS Eupen couldn’t muster any offence and Zulte-Waregem ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, 6th placed Mechelen, recorded a 2-2 draw against Sporting Charleroi. Geoffry Hairemans struck first for Mechelen in the 5th minute, then Hugo Cuypers added another in the 13th minute. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Mechelen should be reasonably happy with their performance.
On the 7th of August, Mechelen hosted AS Eupen at the Afas-stadion Achter De Kazerne in their last match together. AS Eupen won by a score of 3 to 1. Vinicius Costa scored the first goal for Mechelen in the 33rd minute, then in the 49th minute, Smail Prevljak sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Stef Peeters But luckily in the 85th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Emmanuel Agbadou.
Hugo Cuypers has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, hes scored five goals for Mechelen. Smail Prevljak has been the most effective weapon for AS Eupen lately. The attacker has netted two goals in his last 5 matches.
