Leuven vs Mechelen Preview

Leuven will be looking to build on a hard-fought 2-1 victory over St. Truiden and extend their unbeaten run to six Jupiler Pro League matches. The hosts have shown signs of improvement lately, although their attacking numbers remain modest, with an average of 1.17 goals scored per game at home. Takuya Ogiwara picked up a knock at the weekend, meaning Thibault Vlietinck is likely to step into the starting XI.

Mechelen, meanwhile, are enjoying a three-game winning streak after beating Kortrijk 3-1 in midweek. The visitors have found their scoring touch, netting eight goals across their last three victories, and will be confident of extending their positive run. There are no fresh injury concerns for the away side, although Ayodele, Salifou, Hjelde, Struyf, and St. Jago remain sidelined.

Leuven's recent improvement makes this an interesting encounter, but Mechelen look capable of extending their winning streak. The visitors have also enjoyed the better of this fixture historically, winning 10 of their 22 meetings with Leuven. Therefore, Mechelen or Draw is our main betting tip, alongside Over 1.5 goals, and Both teams to score.

This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 17:15 in Den Dreef, Heverlee.
