KV Oostende - Mechelen betting tips and odds

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Mechelen. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Mechelen are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

The previous round was fairly uneventful for both KV Oostende and AS Eupen , the opposing home team. Considering an away win was priced at 2.80 with most top online bookies, however, a 1:1 draw is a positive result for KV Oostende.

Mechelen’s previous outing at their home stadium ended inconclusively. However, they kicked off as clear underdogs compared to Gent, who were the away team. With that in mind, the 1:1 score at the end is not that disappointing.

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.

Mechelen have been met with a lot of success in previous away games – at least in terms of goal-scoring. They scored 6 in their previous 3 away games, so this might be a good chance to consider an Over 4.5 Goals bet.

With limited means at their disposal, both teams will have to make do with shortened rosters. We’re referring to the fact both teams suffered strings of injuries, rendering a good chunk of both squads unavailable for this match. KV Oostende_INJURIES will not be playing for the hosts, while Mechelen_INJURIES will be missing on the visiting side.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.75 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
