Mechelen is looking for direction having 3 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, while 10th placed Anderlecht is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Sporting Charleroi. Ryota Morioka struck first for Sporting Charleroi in the 65th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Anderlecht couldn’t muster any offence and Sporting Charleroi ran away with the shutout win. Anderlecht is looking for direction having 4 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Anderlecht won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Fábio Silva and Julien Duranville are the top scorers for Anderlecht in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Mechelen is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Geoffry Hairemans and Rob Schoofs each having 2 goals in their last five.
