Mechelen is back to Jupiler League after a lot of years as they gained promotion through the Tweede Klasse playoffs. The club's low budget didn't left the team to sign players and give more strength to the squad, while three of their most important players left the team (Werner, Zudert, Dond). Probably a game to the first game of the season against Anderlecht is the best for their fans, and a full crowded stadium expected (14.000 capacity). About their squad, they have to face some injuries, although they didn't played a game yet. Main defenders Van Belle and Krabeels are both out injured, the same with main midfielder Idi. Recently striker De Lange, can't play yet.

Last season Champions Anderlecht, seems that they will be very strong this season too. They won the previous week easier than expected 3:1 against Club Brugge for the Belgian Super Cup. The good news are that they kept their best rated players and brought in Czech midfielder Polak from Nurnberg, and they are very optimistic for the new season and also for a good participation on Champions League. The only problem that they have to face for today is the absence of Frutos (out injured for 1 month), but they have same good replacements.

Mechelen excitement and motivation as newcomers to the league, i don't think is enough to get something against this Anderlecht.
