Anderlecht will look to keep their European hopes alive when they welcome Mechelen in an important game in the season finale. The hosts are struggling for consistency after taking just one point from a 1-1 draw with Gent, and they have won only two of their last 10 matches overall. Defensive problems continue to hurt Anderlecht, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those games while conceding 2.10 goals per match. Suspensions to Mihajlo Cvetkovic and Ali Maamar add further complications for the home side.
Mechelen are also chasing a European place but head into the clash after a heavy 3-0 defeat to Royale Union SG. Their away form has been particularly poor, collecting just 0.20 points per game on the road across the last five away matches while conceding a worrying 3.40 goals per game. Forward Keano Vanrafelghem is suspended for the visitors. The H2H statistics strongly suggest entertainment, with 76% of recent meetings seeing both teams score and 67% producing over 2.5 goals.
Given Mechelen’s poor away form and Anderlecht' European ambitions, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Recent H2H meetings regularly produce high-scoring games).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 12:30.
