Mechelen - OH Leuven predictions

Mechelen are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.07 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but OH Leuven may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

OH Leuven are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.47 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Anyone brave enough to put some money on Mechelen drawing their previous Pro League game will be reading this with a big smirk on their face. The betting odds were scarily tempting but knowing that it ended up being an HT/FT draw makes things even more interesting.

The previous round was also an away game for OH Leuven, and things did not look too good for them at halftime. They were playing from behind in a match that most Pro League betting predictions expected them to lose. However, they secured the equalizer before the game ended and can be happy with the single point they earned.

We’ve seen a string of concessions from Mechelen on their home turf – specifically, 6 over the last 3 matches. Online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of getting out of this one with a clean sheet.

It will be interesting to see if OH Leuven manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Mechelen this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

Thankfully, OH Leuven will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.
