Standard Liege vs Mechelen Predictions

• Three or more goals have been scored in each of the last ten meetings between these two teams
• Both teams have scored in four of Mechelen’s last five away matches
• Mechelen are unbeaten in their last four against St Liege

History suggests goals

When these two teams meet there tends to be plenty of goals. Three or more goals have been scored in each of the last ten meetings between these two teams, with both teams scoring in eight of those matches. At least three goals have been scored in each of the last six meetings at this venue. More of the same is expected on Sunday.

The hosts look too short

The bookmakers want you to back the home team here and St Liege can currently be backed at a shade of odds against, which seems very short for a team who have only won one of their last six matches. I would definitely be siding with the visitors here, who despite a recent blip, appear to be slightly overpriced.

Mechelen are currently five points better off in the league than Sunday’s host, having played a game less. The visitors have a good recent record in this fixture, Mechelen are unbeaten in their last four games against St Liege, three of those victories, and they haven’t lost on any of their last three visits to this ground.

I will side with the history of this fixture and bank on goals in this one. My main selection will be both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the match. Putting up Mechelen to win and both teams to score as the main selection was very tempting. However, I will reserve that for my correct score prediction. In the correct score market, I will go for a 3-1 away win.
