Mechelen are desperate to get back on course in the Jupiler League when they face Anderlecht in round six, having yet to taste victory this season. Their defensive frailties were painfully exposed in a 4-0 defeat to Westerlo, and they have now conceded 2.30 goals per game across their last 10 matches. Mechelen have been slightly stronger at home, but still boast only a 25% win rate in their last four there. Diouf, Ozdemir, St. Jago and Van Ingelgom are all sidelined.
Anderlecht, meanwhile, will be targeting a return to winning ways after being held to a goalless draw by Genk. The visitors managed 12 attempts and 0.87 xG in that encounter, but their overall numbers remain impressive, with seven wins from their last 10 matches and just 0.80 goals conceded per game. The capital club have also kept clean sheets in 50% of those fixtures. Camara, Hey and Sardella are struggling with injuries, but the visitors still look better equipped.
Given Anderlecht's superior form, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Away Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (68% of the last 22 H2Hs produced at least three goals).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Friday 11 September 2026 at 19:45.
