Gent’s varied scorelines

KV Mechelen’s close answers
KV Mechelen’s 1-0 home win on 3 May 2026 supplies a direct response, while a 1-1 draw at Gent on 6 April 2026 keeps the scoreline discussion open. Another 1-1 draw at KV Mechelen on 16 August 2025 confirms that shared points have appeared in both venue orientations. The 3-3 draw at KV Mechelen on 7 February 2025 adds a higher-scoring counterpoint. These dated results place KV Mechelen’s narrow win and several draws against Gent’s broader advantage. The next KV Mechelen–Gent meeting will test whether the historical edge can absorb another counter-result.
