Mechelen are desperate to record their first win of the new Jupiler League campaign when they take on St. Truiden in the Jupiler League round 8. The hosts played out a goalless draw with Lommel in their latest outing but remain badly out of form, winning none of their last 10 matches and conceding 2.10 goals per game. Their home record is particularly worrying, with 2.50 goals conceded per match. Forward Cedric Van Meirvenne is doubtful after picking up a knock against Lommel.
St. Truiden, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from back-to-back 2-0 defeats to Beveren and Westerlo. The Canaries have still won 40% of their last 10 matches and remain a dangerous attacking side, averaging 1.80 goals per game. They registered an impressive 2.10 xG despite losing to Westerlo, suggesting their attacking play was better than the scoreline indicated. Augsburg loanee Nathanael Mbuku is pushing for a starting berth.
St. Truiden have found their form of late and leading the H2H record. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Away Win, alongside Over 1.5 goals total and St. Truiden Over 1.5 (Mechelen have conceded in every one of their last 10 matches).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Sunday 11 October 2026 at 18:15.
