St Gilloise host Mechelen in a crucial Belgian Pro League clash as the title race heats up. As key defender is banned for Mechelen, we predict a 3-0 home win. The home side are missing defender Christian Burgess due to suspension, but their depth allows them to maintain balance. Royale Union SG have been strong at home this season, winning 60% of their matches and averaging 1.8 goals per game, while conceding just 1.0 goal at home. They are solid defensively, keeping clean sheets in 40% of home games, and 50% of their matches see both teams score.
Mechelen travel to Brussels without key defender Gora Diouf, a big loss given their leaky defense, especially away. They have been inconsistent, winning 40% of matches overall and scoring only 1.0 goal per match, though they concede slightly more than St Gilloise. Historically, Mechelen have the upper hand in head-to-head clashes, winning 7 of the last 14 encounters, but nowadays St. Gilloise are one of the teams to beat in the Jupiler League.
Given St. Gilloise's excellent home form and defensive solidity, Home Win seems like a sure bet, with additional value on St. Gilloise/St. Gilloise and St. Gilloise to Score First.
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 19:45.
