The “Royal Union” is likely to remain at the top of the table in the event of a victory over Mechelen. Well-prepared and in shape only without Nieuwkoop, the hosts will host poorly predisposed guests. Additionally, Mechelen will not be able to count on several valuable players today: Bateau, Coucke, Cuypers, Druijf, Engvall, Hairemans, Vanlerberghe. To make matters worse, the following players are questioned: Dailly, Dassy, Gouet, van Damme.
