Anderlecht vs KV Mechelen Prediction: Host has been the better side

This Jupiler Pro League match between Anderlecht and KV Mechelen will take place at Lotto Park. The hosts are currently in the third slot in the standings, while the Mechelen are currently in the tenth spot in the league standings.

The previous match between Anderlecht and Eupen ended in a victory for Anderlecht by a score of 1-3 in the First Division A. Anderlecht had 52% possession of the ball during that game and 20 shots on goal, with six of them finding the target. Anders Dreyer scored the first goal for Anderlecht in the first minute of play, Rune Paeshuyse scored an own goal in the 67th minute, and Luis Vázquez scored in the 88th minute. On the other end of the field, Eupen had nine shots on goal, of which three were on target. Isaac Nuhu in the 38th minute scored Eupen lone's goal. Anderlecht enter this match having not suffered a defeat in any of their previous four league matches played at home.

Mechelen's most recent encounter, which was against Antwerp in the First Division A, ended in a scoreless draw. During that encounter, Mechelen managed 36 percent of possession and 13 shots on goal, with three of those shots hitting the target. Royal Antwerp had a total of 22 shots on goal, but only four of them were on target. The efforts of Steven Defour's Mechelen have resulted in a total of nine goals for the team in their most recent six matches, giving them an average of 1.5 goals scored per game. This gives them a goal-scored per-game average of 1.5.

Given that I anticipate a great deal of excellent performance from both teams, this competition ought to be really intriguing. In the meantime, Anderlecht have been the better side overall in this matchup this season, whereas the other squad has been having trouble recently. However, due to the fact that Anderlecht will be playing at home, I believe that they have a good opportunity to win, despite the fact that I anticipate a competitive match. Due to the fact that the visiting side has not been very effective offensively as of late, I do not anticipate there being a great deal of scoring in this game; as a result, I will be betting on there being few goals scored.
