Preview

Match preview

Lommel United welcome KV Mechelen to the Soevereinstadion for round seven of the Jupiler Pro League campaign. The hosts sit twelfth in the standings with seven points from their opening six fixtures, having recorded two wins, one draw, and three defeats. Although they suffered a heavy 5-0 loss against Union St. Gilloise in their most recent outing, Lommel have shown defensive solidity at home, conceding only two goals across three home fixtures.

KV Mechelen enter this fixture searching for their first league victory of the season. Sitting sixteenth in the table with just two points from six matches, they have struggled defensively, conceding fourteen goals while failing to keep a clean sheet. Their away form has yielded one draw and two defeats, with two goals scored and six conceded on their travels.

With Mechelen yet to win this season and struggling at the back, Lommel have an opportunity to bounce back from recent setbacks against a side short on defensive stability.
