Since rejoining the Jupiler Pro League in 2019, KV Mechelen typically occupy a mid-table position. They currently sit 8th on the league table with 28 points from 22 games, suggesting this trend will continue this year. Recently, KV Mechelen’s performance has been commendable, securing three victories in their last four games. In their latest match, they triumphed over RWDM with a 3-1 win at home. Despite RWDM player Jeff Reine-Adelaide receiving a red card in the fourth minute, and KV Mechelen dominating possession and goal attempts, they only clinched the win by scoring two goals during stoppage time in the second half. This recent victory should boost KV Mechelen’s confidence as they prepare to face Anderlecht on Thursday night.
Anderlecht has not claimed the title of the premier Belgian league since 2017. Now, they are in second place for the year, trailing eight points behind the league leader, Royale Union SG. The team has had a challenging time since the winter break, tallying two draws and one loss across all competitions. In their last game, they managed a 2-2 draw in a home match against Royale Union SG. They were on the brink of defeat, but a late-game equalizer from Thorgan Hazard secured a point for them.
KV Mechelen vs Anderlecht pick: Both teams to score &— yes
In the recent two games, KV Mechelen netted five goals, whereas Anderlecht managed to score a minimum of one goal in each of the preceding 24 matches. For this matchup, the most advisable betting option would be both teams to score &— yes.
