Mechelen - Club Brugge predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Mechelen winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Club Brugge, which is made quite clear with the 4.48 odds offered for a home win result.

Club Brugge are expected to have no hiccups going past Mechelen in this match and betting odds offered by the world’s top bookmakers are there to confirm it.

The hosts are still reeling from the 3:1 thrashing they received in the last round’s away game. Their opponents Kortrijk spent the entire game in the lead, ultimately winning the bout 3:1 despite the fact pre-match predictions and odds were in Mechelen’s favour.

The previous Pro League encounter could not have gotten much better for Club Brugge who were heavily favoured to claim a victory anyway. They fully delivered as well, having taken an early lead and turned it into a 4:1 triumph.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Mechelen may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

An earlier match between Mechelen and 17 left both teams with 1 point to the tally, which Club Brugge can’t be happy with. After all, they’re the favourites here, and the tied game was played on their home turf.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Mory Konate, Bas Van den Eynden, Bill Antonio have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1 odds offered at 1xbet.
