Westerlo vs Mechelen PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 20/12/2024

Westerlo welcome Mechelen to their Het Kuipje in the opening match of the Jupiler League round 19. Westerlo aim to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions, but given their defensive struggles, home win should not be considered. Fit-again Costa Rica midfielder Josimar Alcocer is pushing for a start as well as USA forward Griffin Yow, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team. Mechelen, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four games in all competitions.

As both Mechelen and Westerlo will go for a win in Friday’s clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In their last encounter in the Belgian top flight Westerlo defeated Mechelen 4-2 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon. Experienced forward Benito Raman is widely expected to return to Mechelen’s starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Antwerp at the weekend.
