Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Standard Liege will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run when they face Mechelen in the opening match of Jupiler League round 7. The Red Devils suffered a dip in form before the international break and it has to be noted that they have failed to find the net in the previous three league matches. Both David Bates and Dennis Eckert Ayensa are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
De Kakkers, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over La Louviere, but given their ups and downs on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on draw this time out. You should bear in mind that Standard and Mechelen have shared the spoils in each of their last four meetings in the Belgian top flight. Mechelen forward Lion Lauberbach is pushing for a start after scoring a brace as a substitute against La Louviere.
