NextGOAL tip: Mechelen (level) · 1 stars
Lommel SK and Mechelen last met with Mechelen being thrashed at home 0-4, but this time the picture is completely different, because Lommel SK just lost heavily at home 0-5 in their latest match, while Mechelen have not won anyone at all in the league this season. Lommel SK picked up home wins in two matches before losing the last two. Their attack still has some moments but the defense is starting to have problems, while Mechelen have already conceded 14 goals from 6 matches, second only to their finishing which is still not sharp enough. The three-center-back defense of Luc Marijnissen, Mike Eerdhuijzen and Jose Marsa is likely to sit deep and wait to counter, with Dennis Praet controlling the tempo in midfield. If Mechelen can set up their defense solidly and not concede early like in previous matches, the game is likely to drag on and end closely, because Lommel SK themselves do not have an attack that pressures continuously for the full ninety minutes.
