Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Bosuilstadion will host Sunday’s Jupiler League game between Antwerp and Mechelen, the two teams who defeated Seraing and Oostende respectively at the weekend. Antwerp do not want to give up on their title dream, and they will give 100% to melt Royale Union SG’s advantage in the standings. Tanzania international Mbwana Samatta misses out through suspension, while all Seck, Emegha, Engels, and Manuel are likely to miss the match with injuries.
Mechelen, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Belgian top flight. Considering that the visitors have been scoring goals for fun of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Thody Elie Youan and Rick Van Drongelen are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Antwerp.
