MECHELEN V ANDERLECHT PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Mechelen (11^th) got beaten this week in Leuven (3-1), bringing their total to 5 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. They scored 22 goals and conceded 20.

Anderlecht (2^nd) is getting closer game after game to the top of the league and they are looking stronger than any other side of the league at the moment after having crushed Gent 5-0 this week. Out of 13 games, they have now a total of 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. They scored 25 goals and their defensive record is the best of the league with only 12 goals conceded.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Mechelen have suffered the law of the most fittest team of moment in Jupiler league when they got beaten by Leuven earlier this week. It ended up a nice serie of 2 wins in a row. They will host the defending champion with a full squad.

Before the match against Gent, Anderlecht had won only one game in the month of October. After the sinking of the last week in Charleroi (2-0), we expected a reaction of pride from John van den Brom’s men. It is exactly what happened, Anderlecht players are completely reassured after having smashed Gent at home (5-0). However, for this trip to Mechelen, Brussels’s players will again be without Dieumerci Mbokani (suspended) while Kanu, Lucas Biglia and Kouyate Cheikhou all three are uncertain.

MECHELEN V ANDRELECHT PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Anderlecht is seen as a strong favorite here even if they are playing away and if they lost the last meeting in Mechelen (2-1 last season). They regained a lot of confidence and should be able to take the best of the home side. Unibet is offering the best price for Anderlecht to win at 1.62, draw is offered at 4.00 by Tipico and the home team to win is set at 5.75 with Betvictor. I would pick Anderlecht to win despite the odd is quite low.

MECHELEN V ANDRELECHT PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The Asian market gives a clear advantage to the visiting side, the handicap is set at Mechelen + 0.75 at 2.14 with Pinnacle and – 0.75 at 1.86 with the same bookmaker. I don’t think Anderlecht will win by more than 1 goal margin and a draw is not to be excluded so I would recommend to choose the handicap for the home team.

MECHELEN V ANDRELECHT PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The over 2.5 goals is a strong favorite here at 1.60 with Mybet, the best price for the under is given by Pinnacle at 2.46. Out of the last 5 games played by both teams, the total went over 3 times when Anderlecht was playing and 4 times when Mechelen was involved. I like the price offerd by Pinnacle for the under so I will try a small stake on the under.
