Preview
Mechelen and Dender meet at AFAS‑stadion Achter de Kazerne, in a match for the 30th round of the First Division A. Mechelen got an away win by (2‑5), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 26‑10‑2024. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 9th and 12th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 12th best team in home matches and the 9th best in away matches.

Analysis Mechelen

After 9 wins, 7 draws and 13 losses, the home team is in the 9th position, havinf won 35 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Sporting Charleroi by (0‑1), after in the previous match they have lost (1‑0) an away match against K. Beerschot V.A.. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since they have won 15 points in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 20 conceded, against 20 points won at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 19 conceded. For the league, Mechelen won 13 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 13 of the last 14 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 29 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 14 home matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have conceded 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90') and 7 of their 19 goals between (31'‑45').

Mechelen takes to the field with the aim of securing at least one point to avoid any risk of entering the relegation phase. The team comes off an important victory and, playing at home, should adopt a balanced approach, attacking without exposing themselves too much. Confidence could be a key factor, as the team has shown more stability in recent games. The defence needs to maintain concentration to avoid any scares against an opponent likely to push forward. A positive result would solidify a safe campaign at this stage of the season.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Ortwin De Wolf, Daam Foulon, Ahmed Touba, Rafik Belghali, Stephen Welsh, Fredrik Hammar, Patrick Pflücke, Kerim Mrabti, Nikola Storm, Benito Raman, Geoffry Hairemans.
Coach: S. Defour.

In the last 14 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 18 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

Dender enters the match under pressure, as they no longer depend solely on themselves to avoid the relegation phase. The team has faced many difficulties throughout the season and now needs to win while hoping for other favourable results. In this context, the game is expected to be more aggressive, even playing away. However, the defensive system needs to be well-organised to avoid being punished on counter-attacks. The home team is the favourite, but Dender will likely take more risks, as they have nothing to lose in this crucial match.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Michael Verrips, Fabio Ferraro, Kobe Cools, Bryan Goncalves, Dembo Sylla, Thomas Holmes, Nathan Rodes, Roman Květ, Malcolm Viltard, Bruny Nsimba, Aurelien Scheidler.
