Club Brugge vs Mechelen Predictions

• Club Brugge have won their last three games against Mechelen by an aggregate score of 8-0.
• Mechelen haven’t won as the away side in this fixture since 2012.
• Club Brugge finished nine places above the visitors in the First Division A last season.

Brugge looking for winning start

Club Brugge finished fourth in the Belgium top flight last term and have a chance to make an early season statement with a big opening day win over Mechelen.

The hosts have dominated this fixture in recent times and have won each of the last three meetings, scoring eight goals without reply.

Brugge can win with room to spare

Mechelen finished in 13th spot last season, nine places behind Club Brugge, and look a level below their hosts.

De Kakkers have found the Jan Breydel Stadion to be a tough hunting ground for over a decade now and they haven’t won at this venue since 2012, failing to score in four of the last five meetings here.

Club Brugge have won six of their last eight competitive home fixtures and all of those wins have come by at least two goals.

As such, backing the hosts to cover a -1 handicap stands out as the main bet, and a repeat of last season’s 3-0 win for Brugge in the corresponding fixture appeals as a correct score option.
