Kortrijk - Mechelen predictions

The hosts have everything stacking up against them in this match including the betting odds of 3.10. Kortrijk will indeed find it very hard to beat Mechelen here but nothing is impossible if you try hard enough.

Most bookies see Mechelen as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 2.15, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

The first half of their last match had Kortrijk believing they could run away from the hot Pro League trip unbeaten. However, they quickly clashed with reality which got them packing home with a Westerlo away defeat in the bag.

The previous Pro League encounter could not have gotten much better for Mechelen who were heavily favoured to claim a victory anyway. They fully delivered as well, having taken an early lead and turned it into a 3:0 triumph.

With 10 concessions over the last 3 matches, Kortrijk will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

It’s clear that Mechelen are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced Kortrijk earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Lucas Pirard, Gilles Dewaele, Patrik Sigurður Gunnarsson, Mark Mampasi, Roko Šimić are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Mory Konate, Bas Van den Eynden, Bill Antonio will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Mechelen, though.
