Mechelen will look to put end a four-game losing streak after a heavy 4-1 defeat to Sint-Truiden. As both Mechelen and Gent look sharp up front, we predict a 2-2 draw. The hosts average 1.00 point per game over their last 10 matches, winning 30% overall. At home they are slightly stronger with 1.20 PPG, but defensive issues remain clear as they concede 2.20 goals per game overall. Matches involving Mechelen are often open, with 3.30 average goals and 70% BTTS, while their xG of 1.05 compared to 1.76 xGA highlights defensive vulnerability.
Gent look to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Club Brugge, though inconsistency has limited them to 1.20 points per game in their last 10. The visitors score just 1.00 goal per match and have a 50% failure-to-score rate, though defensively they are slightly more stable conceding 1.20 per game. Away form is mixed at 1.00 PPG, and injuries to Ayinde, Paskotsi, and Samoise may impact squad depth.
Given attacking potential of both sides, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Over 3.5 goals and Both Teams to Score.
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Sunday 3 May 2026 at 12:30.
