Mechelen vs Antwerp lineups
Mechelen
Mechelen suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Oud-Heverlee Leuven last weekend; that was their second consecutive loss, after winning three matches in a row. Steven Defour's men will hope to turn things around as Antwerp come visiting. There are no new absentees for the hosts ahead of this game.
Predicted lineups: Coucke, Hecke, Vanlerberghe, Cobbaut, Foulon, Schoofs, Konate, Pflücke, Mrabti, Storm, Lauberbach.
Antwerp
On the other hand, Royal Antwerp are coming off back-to-back goalless draws against Gent and RWD Molenbeek; they've struggled to find their best form in recent weeks, winning just one of their last five matches in all competitions. Mark Van Bommel's men will be eyeing all three available points as they take on Mechelen this weekend. Kobe Corbaine, Davino Verhulst and Sam Vines are still in the recovery room.
Predicted lineups: Butez, Laet, Alderweireld, Bosch, Bataille, Vermeeren, Keita, Balikwisha, Ekkelenkamp, Valencia, Janssen.

Player to watch: Vincent Janssen
To be fair, Royal Antwerp have struggled to find the back of the net lately; as they are coming off back-to-back goalless draws, with no goals scored in their last three games. However, Vincent Janssen has scored five times in the First Division A this campaign, only one player has scored more goals. The 29 year old striker will fancy his chances of going back to scoring ways today.
