Mechelen - Sint-Truiden predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.00, the bookies made it clear that Mechelen are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The matchup this Friday is rather one-sided, with Sint-Truiden seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.62, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Mechelen pulled the biggest surprise in the last round of the Pro League. Although they faced a difficult away challenge, Mechelen got ahead early in the game and managed to keep their rivals at bay for the full 90 minutes in what ended up being a huge Union Saint-Gilloise victory.

The previous Pro League game Sint-Truiden played was on home grounds, but top online bookmakers were not too optimistic about their chances going in. They somehow managed to take the lead in the first half, though, and eventually turned it into a welcome draw.

Only 1 or fewer goals were scored during the course of Mechelen’s previous two away games. An Under marker might be worth considering here.

Sint-Truiden’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 6 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Mechelen narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

This Friday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
