Mechelen will be desperate to turn their fortunes around as they welcome Westerlo in what looks set to be an open encounter. The hosts are winless in four and have already conceded nine goals this season, while their defensive problems are highlighted by 2.30 goals allowed per game across their last 10 matches. Their latest outing ended 2-2 against La Louviere, and Mechelen have seen 75% of their recent home games produce goals at both ends.
Westerlo’s defensive record is even more worrying, with 16 goals conceded already this season. Issame Charai's men drew 2-2 with Waregem at the weekend and have conceded 2.80 goals per game over their last 10 matches. The visitors have also failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of those 10 games. Historically, this fixture tends to produce goals, with 14 of the last 20 meetings seeing BTTS and 14 finishing above 2.5 goals.
As Mechelen have won 11 of the last 20 meetings and have the home advantage, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (70% of the last 20 H2H meetings cleared this line).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 17:15.
