Antwerp - Mechelen predictions

With the 1.59 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Mechelen, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Antwerp and the fact that Mechelen are given 5.60 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Mechelen victory would be a shocking surprise.

Antwerp are coming off a glowing 0:4 victory against RWDM in the previous round. They dominated the game for the majority of the runtime and ended their visit with a convincing result and three points added to the tally.

Most bookies were expecting the away team’s previous match to be completely one-sided, but it ended with a 1:1 draw. They went toe to toe with Genk throughout the game’s runtime, which is not something most Pro League betting tips saw coming.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

Scoring more than 5 times over their past 3 home games, Mechelen have been playing with remarkable consistency lately. Although they’re the visitors this time, it’s an impressive record.

As far as the history of this matchup goes, their earlier showdown this season was a draw. The 1.59 betting odds for a home win clearly identify Antwerp as the favourites, though, so the fact that they’re the hosts this time may lead the match to a different outcome.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Björn Engels, Ritchie De Laet, A. Valencia Bajaña, Soumaula Coulibaly, Eliot Matazo will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

We recommend taking up Pncl’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1.58. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
