RWDM vs Mechelen Lineups
RWDM
After a humiliating 4-0 loss in their season opener, RWD Molenbeek got their first win of the season at Leuven last weekend. Claudio Caçapa's men will hope to string up back-to-back victories as they welcome Mechelen to the Edmond Machtens Stadium; they have a fully healthy squad ahead of today's match.
Predicted Lineups:
Defourny, Ouahdi, Heris, Klaus, Joncour, Abner, Dailly, Dwomoh, De Sart, Mercier, Boron.
Mechelen
On the other hand, KV Mechelen are still hunting for their first win of the season; a 1-1 draw at Club Brugge was followed by a 1-0 loss to Gent last week. The visitors are currently on a three-match winless streak, and it'll be interesting to see how they'll match-up against newly-promoted RWDM. Like today's opponents, there are no players sidelined for Mechelen today.
Predicted Lineups:
Coucke, Belghali, Vanlerberghe, Lavalee, Foulon, Mukau, Schoofs, Ngoy, Mrabti, Storm, Lauberbach.

Player to Watch: Geoffry Hairemans
To be fair, Mechelen have struggled in front of goal this season; as they've scored just once in two league matches so far. However, it's worth mentioning that Geoffry Hairemans was by far their best player last campaign. Despite being a midfielder, the 31 year old led the team in both goals and assists last season; he registered nine goals and assisted eight more.
