Mechelen vs Charleroi lineups
Mechelen
Things have not gone swimmingly for Mechelen these past few weeks; they lost six of their last eight matches, with no wins in that eight-game stretch. As a result, Mechelen parted ways with Steven Defour, bringing in Frederik Vanderbiest as his replacement. It'll be interesting to see how the former RWDM coach will fare in his first match. Yonas Malede, Nikola Storm and Rafik Belghali are all sidelined for the hosts.
Predicted lineups: Coucke, Walsh, Bates, Cobbaut, Foulon, Pflücke, Schoofs, Konate, Mrabti, Hairemans, Bassette.
Charleroi
On the other hand, Charleroi are coming off a disappointing 3-1 loss at the hands of Gent. They've had a fairly decent run of results lately, winning three of their last five games. Felice Mazzu will look to steer his team to victory as they take on a struggling Mechelen side. Marco Ilaimaharitra has accumulated a total of five yellow cards; he'll be suspended for this match.
Predicted lineups: Koffi, Knezević, Marcq, Andreou, Rogelj, Ilaimaharitra, Zorgane, Dragsnes, Guiagon, Dabbagh, Stulić.

*Lineups will be automatically updated shortly after they're announced.
Player to watch: Marco Ilaimaharitra
Marco Ilaimaharitra scored Charleroi's only goal in their 3-1 loss to Gent last weekend; he has now scored three times in his last three First Division A games. The former Sochaux player has four goals and an assist to his name this season; he'll fancy his chances against Mechelen.
