Basement Battle as Mechelen and Westerlo Seek First Win
Two sides desperate to ignite their campaigns meet at the AFAS Stadion as 14th-placed KV Mechelen host bottom-of-the-table KVC Westerlo in an early-season relegation six-pointer.
KV Mechelen enter this fixture sitting just one point above the drop zone, still searching for their first victory after four matches. Their last outing saw them fight back for a 2-2 draw away at RAAL La Louvière, showing signs of life after a heavy 3-3 draw with Standard Liege and scoreless defeats to Gent and Charleroi.
KVC Westerlo find themselves in even deeper trouble, rooted to the bottom of the Pro League with just a single point. Momentum is at an all-time low following three consecutive defeats, including a crushing 5-1 home loss to Union St. Gilloise and a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Lommel United.
