Mechelen is ranked 13th in the 18-team Belgium First Division A standings. But they're moving up the ladder on a 5-1-3 run in all competitions with an improved defense that has allowed 7 goals. In nine of their last 17 road games, at least one team has failed to score. Sixth-ranked Standard Liege has home field with the sixth-best defense (24 goals allowed in 20 matches). In 11 of their last 15 league games, at least one team failed to score, including 12 of their last 20 league home contests. Mechelen shut out Standard Liege in the last meeting in October, 2-0, and both defenses have been in fine form of late. Bet NO on Both Teams To Score.
