Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Diaz Arena will host Friday’s Jupiler League game between Oostende and Mechelen, the two teams who defeated Onhaye (8-1) and Royale Union SG (2-1) respectively in the Belgian Cup. Oostende continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, but they face a difficult task in Friday’s clash. The good news for the hosts is that talented attacker Robbie D’Haese has overcome his injury.
De Kakkers, on the other hand, are undefeated in the last five league fixtures. Mechelen aim to climb to top four in the Jupiler League table, but beating Oostende on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Peyre, Dailly, Dassy, and van Damme are likely to miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
