Royal Excel Mouscron vs KV Oostende
First Division A
Date: 15th December 2017
Kick off at 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
Venue: Stade de la Canonnier (Mouscron).

Royal Excel Mouscron look to be sliding down in First Division A at an alarming rate and they will be hoping to arrest the current slump on Friday when they are to open the Matchday No 19 against table-neighbours KV Oostende.

The clash has the ingredients of being a relegation six-pointer at this stage as there is only a single point currently separating the two likes in the bottom half of the standings.

Royal Excel Mouscron

Mouscron got off to a promising start to the new season, but they are currently on a terrible run of form which has seen them lose four and draw one of last five matches in all competitions.

Mircea Rednic’s job is thus rumoured to be on the line and the Romanian expert might become an ex at Stade de la Canonnier in case of another failure here.

KV Oostende

De Kustboys have seen certain improvements to their game as of late, but they’ll also head into this in poor mood after claiming just a single pint from two previous league rounds.

The good news for the Bosnian manager Adnan Custovic is his team’s stern defensive line which saw Oostende concede just two goals in last five league matches.

Royal Excel Mouscron vs KC Oostende: Head to head

Oostende were more successful in the last term when they picked up the domestic double over Mouscron.

Nonetheless, Mouscron managed to see off their rivals in their previous meeting at the start of this season when they clinched a 0-1 win on the road back in late-July.

Royal Excel Mouscron vs KV Oostende: Prediction

The hosts have been struggling badly with the efficiency in the final third recently and they should have troubles up front against a well-organized defense of Oostende’s here.

We generally expect a low-scoring contest between the two sides given the importance of the game and their playing style in recent weeks.
