Mechelen and St Liege go head to head at AFAS Stadion on Matchday 2, with both sides looking to pick up their first win of the new campaign. Mechelen aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Gent, while defender Gora Diouf is expected to miss out with injury. The hosts have endured a difficult run of form, winning just one of their last 10 matches and conceding 2.5 goals per game during that period. Their home record is also concerning, with only one win in their last five.
St Liege, meanwhile, aim to return to winning ways following a 2-2 draw with Cercle Brugge in their opener. A man to watch will be Dennis Eckert, who scored a brace in that match and will be confident of troubling a vulnerable Mechelen defence. Standard have been particularly impressive away from home, winning three of their last four matches on the road while scoring 2.5 goals per game. With Mechelen struggling to find consistency, the visitors look well placed to claim a positive result.
Standard have won 75% of their last four away matches, while Mechelen have won just one of their last 10 overall. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (the H2H average is strong, with 16 of the last 26 meetings producing at least three goals).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Sunday 16 August 2026 at 17:30.
