Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Cercle Brugge will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Eupen when they take on Mechelen in the Jupiler League round 28. The Groen en Zwart have recorded three wins in the previous four league matches and they are seen as favourites to beat Mechelen at home as well. The bad news for the home side is that Ahoueke Denkey, who scored a brace against the Pandas, misses out through suspension. Hannes van der Bruggen is banned for Saturday’s clash as well.
De Kakkers, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Antwerp and Kortrijk, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Cercle Brugge, who have found their form of late. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils at Jan Breydel Stadion this weekend. All Lion Lauberbach, Norman Bassette, and Toon Raemaekers are sidelined with injuries, while Rafik Belghali is a major doubt.
