Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Zulte Waregem play host to Mechelen at their Regenboogstadion in the opening match of their Jupiler League campaign. Waregem were producing fine performances in preseason and, no doubt, they want the trend to be continued. The club chiefs have signed permanent deals with the likes of Tobias Hedl, Serxho Ujka, Thomas Claes, and Enrique Lofolomo in the summer transfer window, while duo Pape Demba Diop – Nicolas Rommens is no longer part of the team.
De Kakkers, on the other hand, suffered a 3-2 loss to Ajax in their last warm-up game. Mechelen are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in the new Jupiler League season and given Waregem’s attacking potential at home, both teams to score betting option should be considered. It has to be noted that key midfielder Geoffrey Hairemans parted ways with Mechelen this summer, making a move to Antwerp during the transfer window.
