Anderlecht vs Mechelen
Anderlecht vs Mechelen in the Belgian Pro League match this weekend, where Anderlecht will benefit from playing host at the Stade Constant Vanden Stock. Interestingly Anderlecht played poorly in the first 2 matches yesterday, they only collected 1 point only after losing to KV Ostende then drew with Mouscron-Péruwelz.
So that in the standings Anderlecht was ranked 11, even though Anderlecht in the previous 2 matches was very favored to win. While in the stronghold of Mechelen the visitors actually played well by sweeping 2 matches yesterday with a win, they were able to beat FC Malinois 2-0 and even KRC Genk with a score of 3-1.
Of course beating KRC Genk was quite surprising, G. Engvall again listed his name on the scoreboard after previously also contributed a goal against FC Malinois. Mechelen’s nickname at the start of the season signals to opposing teams including Anderlecht not to underestimate them, but Anderlecht still bears the name of the Belgian big team so they can still be seeded in this match.
In the last 5 meetings only Mechelen only picked 1 win, Anderlecht won 3 wins and 2 matches remaining. The last time they met was in 2018 when Mechelen was also integrated, bearing the status of the promotion team this season Mechelen was actually difficult to be favored against a team of Anderlecht’s class. It’s just that their performance was surprising, the possibility of Anderlecht winning narrowly.
