Zulte-Waregem - Mechelen betting tips and odds

Though Zulte-Waregem definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Mechelen are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Despite playing away, Mechelen are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.30, we’re in for a close game.

Zulte-Waregem’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Sint-Truiden . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 2:0 defeat.

Mechelen were off to a bad start in their previous Pro League outing. Although they were the home team, they were behind on half-time against a relatively stronger opponent - Cercle Brugge. Mechelen managed to scrape together a 1:1 draw before the end, which isn’t bad all things considered.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Zulte-Waregem’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Mechelen are seen as the stronger team – after all, they’re expected to win this game despite the home-field disadvantage. However, they failed to defeat Zulte-Waregem in the home game they played earlier in the season.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.60, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
