Anderlecht - Mechelen predictions

Kickoff starts at 18:30 on 26/01/2025 played @ Lotto Park refereed by Bram Van Driessche

Anderlecht might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Mechelen are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

The away team’s chances of winning this Sunday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Anderlecht, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The game’s hosts dominated the second half of their most recent Pro League engagement, ultimately winning the showdown 0:2. Their opponents Kortrijk stood their ground throughout the first half, but Anderlecht eventually displayed their superiority by scoring multiple goals in a row.

Mechelen’s latest Pro League performance against Genk can’t be called bad, all things considered. Although Mechelen were the home team, their opponents were much stronger and took home a narrow 1:2 win after taking the lead in the first half.

Anderlecht have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Pro League matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Last season, the hosts met Mechelen and walked away with a remarkable, convincing victory. They’re still considered strong favourites because of this, though it’s worth keeping in mind that some time has passed since then.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Mario Stroeykens, Francis Amuzu, Kasper Dolberg, Majeed Ashimeru, Marco Kana, Samuel Edozie will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The Betway sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.95, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.

Betting tip (stake: 6/10): Under 2,5 1.95 at Betway
Correct score prediction: 1:0
