A derby match is on schedule here.

KV Mechelen

KV Mechelen has all 6 points after wins against Germinal Beerschot and Zulte Waregem. Last week the match against Zulte Waregem was quite evenly matched, and KV Mechelen managed to score the winner in the 88th minute.

Morale seems on a high at the team. KV Mechelen showed to be a good home team last season, and being joint top of the table they haven’t missed their start.

Stadium will be sold out and atmosphere might give the team a bit of extra. Forward Soetaers is doubtful for this match.

Lierse SK

Lierse came with ambitions in the Jupiler League, and signed Japanese international goalie Kawashima and South African international Lance Davids. This has not helped much yet as they are now on a last position with two losses against Sint-Truiden and Standard.

Last week Standard took an easy 4-1 win at Lierse, and Lierse is still adapting to the higher level. Strikers Cavens and Radzinski were a lethal couple last season, but could not make an impact either.

Radzinski missed the last match with a stomach flu. Defender Vandooren broke his toe in the match against Standard and is out for 4 weeks.

The Betting Verdict

Mechelen have a dream start so far and are riding on a flow. Lierse has had to deal with disappointing results so far, and a derby match is probably not something they're waiting for right now.

Morale of Lierse is pretty low, and knowing Mechelen will be on to them from the first minute, it's hard to see them surviving this battle.

Odds on Mechelen are 1.95, which I'll be taking early as they’ll probably go down closer to kick-off.

BEST BETTING TIP :

Take KV Mechelen to win at 1.95
