Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Following a goalless draw with Standard Liege, Mechelen will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Jupiler League when they face Leuven on Saturday afternoon. Mechelen were more than unfortunate not to suffer a loss in the midweek clash, but it has to be noted that they defended pretty well. All Falchou, Raemaekers, Belghali, and Antonio are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
Leuven, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Gent and St. Truiden, while sharing the spoils with Westerlo. Oscar Garcia’s troops aim to extend their unbeaten run to five games and given Mechelen’s ups and downs in the Belgian top flight, the share of spoils is on the cards at AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne. As for the visiting team, defender Ewoud Pletinckx remains on the sidelines with injury.
