Waasland-Beveren hosts KV Mechelen in round 22 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 26th at Freethiel Stadion (Beveren)
Waasland-Beveren is the worst team in the Belgian championship not only in the standings but also in the home matches. The hosts play disgustingly at their native stadium - seven defeats, a draw, and only two victories. Waasland lost two previous home games without any chances (0-3 with Antwerp and 1-5 with Zulte-Waregem). The hosts show a bad attacking game (28 goals in 23 games) and have a big hole in defense (48 goals conceded in the same 23 rounds.) In the recent match against Anderlecht, the team was undoubtedly lucky that 1-2 goals did not fly into its net, and the score remained unchanged (0-0). Now Waasland will host a formidable opponent who is in good shape and is not going to lose points with a weak team.

Mechelen is a quite good team that has been doing great in recent matches. It won five out of six games and lost only once. The visitors are doing better in the attacking component (35 goals scored in 23 matches), and they concede a little less. Mechelen got into great shape, tearing down any opponents. It quite confidently coped with such not weak teams as Antwerp (3-0), Leuven (2-1), Eupen (3-0), and others. In the first match against Waasland, Wouter Vrancken's charges were doing well before sending off (Mechelen was ahead 1-0), but it significantly influenced that match, and Beveren became the winner. Mechelen will not run into the same trap and will be determined to win the upcoming match.
Despite the latest confrontation between these teams, Mechelen previously coped with Waasland-Beveren successfully (two victories in three games). The visitors are in a great mood after a series of successful matches, but their opponent has not been able to win for a long time. Considering the unfavorable results of the hosts at their native stadium, their big problems in defense, and the good shape of Mechelen, I would venture to bet on the visitors’ victory.
Prediction for the match: KV Mechelen to win
