KV Mechelen are in better shape heading into this one. They have won their last two matches, including a convincing win at Westerlo earlier in the season, and they have been tough to beat recently. Westerlo, on the other hand, have been struggling a bit, losing more than they have won lately and conceding a lot of goals.

Recent meetings between these two have often been high-scoring and close, with plenty of goals going in at both ends. Even though Westerlo are playing at home, Mechelen's recent form and their earlier win at this same ground make them look the stronger side right now, so they seem more likely to come away with the win.
