KV Mechelen vs Leuven Prediction & Betting tips
We are already nine in matchday in the Proximus League. You would think that the classification is starting to take shape, but nothing is less true. Two teams are in a shared first place, the four teams below are in a shared second place. Mechelen may consider itself third by his goal balance, but of course it wants more. Leuven remains permanently nailed together with Tubize. Let’s see what the original favorites have in store for us.
KV Mechelen:
Mechelen has shown to Lommel which wood they are cut from. A solid 0-3 victory against the best team in the league so far speaks volumes. Malinwa was really merciless. They camped throughout the race at half of Lommel. Obviously, one chance followed the other. Finding the opening goal seemed the most difficult task, as it only came in the 53rd minute. Nikola Storm gave a tight vertical pass to Rob Schoofs, who nicely eliminated his opponent and shot the ball past keeper Gaeten Coucke. Then the two later goals followed from still phases, so the final score was a handsome 0-3 in favor of Mechelen.
You can best describe this Mechelen with the word ‘trust’. Not only trust in the trainer or his vision, but trust in everything. Trust in the board, trust in your own abilities and trust in the title! That translates into beautiful football with results. The man who has set all this in motion, however, stays down-to-earth. ‘We just have to keep looking at it match by match. We should not be blowing too high from the tower now and keep working hard. ” says Wouter Vrancken.
OH Leuven:
Leuven is in a negative spiral. It just does not seem to be able to win any more games. It is not necessarily one factor (mentality, trainer, quality players …), but it is a combination of. Vice-president Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha does not explain the problem to the trainer. “Nigel, our manager, has an excellent reputation for building teams that can perform in the long term. This process takes time, but builds characters, real team spirit and forms the basis on which we want to build our culture of success. ‘
The most striking thing about Union Saint-Gilloise was the way in which it was defended. OHL was soon behind 0-2 by two unfortunate, avoidable goals. However, it did not play badly. It certainly created a number of good opportunities, especially from stagnant phases. However, it was cold-blooded on the counter after a corner. Understand who can understand: Niakaté was left alone in the middle of the square. He was deeply driven, removed the necessary meters to the goalkeeper Kawin Thammasatchanan from Leuven and skillfully put the ball into the goal. Bartosz Kapustka put a penalty in the final phase flawlessly, but in vain.
