Mechelen vs. KAA Gent

Mechelen is on a terrific roll playing great defense winning four in a row allowing just 1 goal. They've had four shutouts over the last five games winning 2-0, 1-0, and 1-0, along with a 0-0 DRAW with Genk. That tie was impressive as Genk is third in the Belgium First Division A standings with the second-best offense (51 goals scored in 27 matches). They've not allowed a goal in three straight home games and face a KAA Gent squad that has turned things around, on a 3-0-2 unbeaten run with an improved defense allowing just 3 goals. Seven of their last 12 games have gone UNDER 2.5 goals along with five of their last six road matches. These rivals played a 1-0 game when they clashed in August and this shapes up as a similar defensive battle. Play Mechelen/KAA Gent UNDER the total.
