Anderlecht vs Mechelen Predictions & Match Preview

Anderlecht are set to host Mechelen at Lotto Park for their upcoming league fixture. Anderlecht enter the contest following a number of fine performances. They sit third in the table after a 3-1 win over Eupen in their previous league match.

Their opponents, Mechelen, come into the game with a series of subpar outcomes. Following a 0-0 draw with Antwerp last time out, they are now ranked tenth in the standings.

Who will win the match between Anderlecht vs Mechelen?

We are counting on Anderlecht to pull off a win here. They have a great home record heading into this one. They are currently unbeaten in their four home league matches this season. Further winning three of those matches.

Mechelen, on the other hand, are struggling for form. They haven’t won any of their last three matches. Two of those matches ended in defeats as well.

How many goals can be expected?

We expect goals in this match. Anderlecht has scored goals at a fine rate in recent weeks, with four of their last six matches ending with over 2.5 goals. Also, three of Mechelen’s last six matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.

In addition, the last two h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.

Will Both teams score in the match?

Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in each of their last six matches. While the visitors have also failed to keep a clean sheet in all of their five competitive away matches this season.

Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.

The Verdict

Anderlecht have a strong home record heading into the match. They have won three of their four home league matches this season. They also have a fine recent record against Mechelen. Furthermore, Mechelen has also underperformed in a handful of recent matches.

A victory for Anderlecht at 1.70 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.

Going on, Anderlecht has now scored two or more goals in two of the last three home matches. Meanwhile, Mechelen has also demonstrated defensive flaws and conceded two or more goals in both of their past two away matches. Therefore, over 1.5 team goals by Anderlecht would be a great pick at 1.62 odds.
