Mechelen and Anderlecht face each other in what promises to be an interesting Jupiler League game. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach, we predict a 2-2 draw. Mechelen are 5th in the standings with 1.20 points per game, coming off a 3-1 home loss to Gent. Forward Mathis Servais is doubtful, but the hosts have been scoring steadily at home, averaging 1.6 goals per match, while conceding 1.2. Their home form has seen 40% wins and clean sheets just 20%, showing some defensive vulnerability.
Anderlecht are 4th in the league and are unbeaten in their last two away matches, including a 2-2 draw with title challengers Club Brugge. The capital club score 2 goals per game away, conceding 2, and their H2H record favors them slightly, with 9 wins in 19 meetings, compared to Mechelen’s 3 victories. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Thorgan Hazard, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
This matchup has historically seen goals, with 79% of H2H matches featuring BTTS and 68% going over 2.5 goals, suggesting an open game. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score, with additional value on Over 3.5 goals (small stake).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Sunday 15 March 2026 at 17:30.
