Mechelen aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Standard Liege, but given their recent offensive struggles, we predict that they will play out a 1-1 draw with Charleroi in Jupiler League round 17. De Kakkers have taken 1.50 points per game across their recent league run but struggling at home, where they average just 1.00 PPG and have won only one of their last five. Defender Therence Koudou's injury could prove costly for the hosts, especially given Mechelen’s tendency to concede high-quality chances—reflected in their 1.49 expected goals at home. Their attack has not been convincing either, scoring only 0.83 goals per home match, despite a generally solid overall scoring rate.
Charleroi, on the other hand, head into the match with no fresh injury worries, but their away form remains unconvincing at 0.60 PPG and a (1-0-4) sequence that highlights inconsistency. They do, however, defend slightly better on the road (1.22 xGA) and have shown occasional solidity with 20% clean sheets away from home. Offensively, Charleroi lack firepower, scoring just 0.80 goals per match both home and away, making them heavily dependent on defensive organization.
Given Mechelen’s home struggles and Charleroi’s unreliable away record, all Under 2.5 Goals, Mechelen Draw No Bet, and BTTS – No betting options are worth considering.
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Sunday 7 December 2025 at 12:30.
