Cercle Brugge return to action under pressure following a worrying run of form, with four defeats in their last five league outings. Given Mechelen's attacking potential, our prediction points toward a 2-2 draw. Cercle Brugge's defensive leaks are a major concern, with 80% BTTS overall and just one clean sheet in their last ten matches. At home, they remain competitive in spells, yet too inconsistent to build momentum. Valy remains their only absentee, but his absence shouldn’t notably affect the structure of a side that has still been creating chances (1.70 xG overall).
Mechelen, on the other hand, have been in a solid form of late, having collected two wins from their last three and showing greater balance between defence and transition. Halhal is sidelined, but the visitors have enough replacements to keep the back line stable. Their away numbers are impressive: 1.50 points per game and 2.75 average goals per match, reflecting sharp counter-attacks and solid finishing. History also suggests a tight, unpredictable contest, with both sides taking five H2H wins from the last 14 meetings.
As both teams have high BTTS percentages (Cercle 80%, Mechelen 60%) and shaky defences, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals (57% H2H) and Over 3.5 goals (43%).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Saturday 13 December 2025 at 15:00.
