La Louvière 2-2 Mechelen result, stats and report

A goalless stalemate at Lommel SK saw Mechelen create the clearer opportunities but fail to convert, with Lommel's goalkeeper making four saves to preserve a point that does little for either side.

OH Leuven picked up a much-needed three points against La Louvière, with Wouter George and William Balikwisha on the scoresheet in a controlled Belgian Pro League victory. The clean sheet was equally important for a side that had conceded ten goals in its previous five matches.

La Louvière ended a run of four straight Belgian Pro League defeats with a commanding 3-0 victory over KV Kortrijk, as Mustapha Isah struck twice and substitute Elias Filet added a late third. Kortrijk, winless in their last five, had no answer.

Anderlecht won 1-0 at Mechelen thanks to Tawfik Bentayeb's first-half finish, despite the home side controlling possession and racking up four yellow cards in a frustrating night at the AFAS Stadion.

Mechelen twice led at La Louvière but could not hold on, as a 2-2 draw left both sides with precious little to show for their efforts in the Belgian Pro League.

Sint-Truiden dismantled La Louvière with a thoroughly dominant 4-0 victory, with Samed Bazdar scoring twice in the second half to put the result beyond any doubt. La Louvière never competed at the required level and were overrun from start to finish.

Mechelen have not won a single Belgian Pro League match across their last ten, and Sint-Truiden arrive on Sunday having beaten them 3-0 in the most recent meeting between these sides. Something has to give.

La Louvière have conceded 12 goals in their last five Belgian Pro League matches without keeping a single clean sheet. Club Brugge arrive with the form, the attitude, and every reason to make it worse.
