Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Saturday’s football game at Den Dreef pits together Leuven and Mechelen, the two teams who are vying for a spot in the Europa Conference League. Leuven defeated Mechelen before the international duty thanks to Nachon Nsingi’s goal and, as a result, the 22-year-old midfielder should be recalled to the starting XI. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but forward Thibault Viletinck remains doubtful.
De Kakkers, on the other hand, are hungry for revenge and given their fine away record in the 2023/2024 Jupiler League campaign, we predict that the visitors are going to hold Leuven to a draw this time out. As for the away team, defender Toon Raemaekers remains in the treatment room, while both Bill Antonio and Rafik Belghali are major doubts. Former Anderlecht attacker Islam Slimani is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting team.
