However, they have been susceptible defensively, conceding in 8 of those 10 games. Home matches tend to see goals, with 15 out of 20 resulting in over 2.5 scored goals.
Following their promotion, ZW is aware of the need for caution.

This will mark the first match for the visiting side in this season, having finished 3rd in the previous campaign. In their most recent match, they lost to Ajax in a friendly (3-2). In the last 10 away fixtures, Mechelen has won 3, drawn 3, and lost 4. Their defensive consistency has not been reliable, conceding in 9 of the last 10 outings, though their attackers have managed to find the net in 8 of those games.
