Mechelen Union Saint-Gilloise betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Mechelen will have to present something extra on the pitch. The visitors wants to score at least one point, therefore, should apply a strong pressing. This has to be a very closed game with a lot of strategy, so we will bet that there will be no more than 2.5 goals.

Analysis Mechelen

Currently in the 17th position of the league, the home team hasn't won any points so far. In the 1st round, they lost at home against Antwerp by (0‑2). In the following round, the final score was a (2‑1) loss in an away match against KV Oostende. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 37 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Mechelen has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In the last 4 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 6 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

After two straight defeats, Mechelen needs an immediate recovery in the Belgian Championship, so the Malines club needs a high level of focus, commitment and good football. The team needs intense and dedicated pressing, especially in the midfield, to reduce spaces within the four lines and not give the opponent chances of organization, in addition to keeping the defense alert not to concede goals. To score the goal, the team needs strength and speed when attacking, also counting on the competence of the players when looking for shots.

Confirmed Lineup: Gaëtan Coucke, Alec Van Hoorenbeeck, Sandy Walsh, Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo, Thibault Peyre, Dimitri Lavalėe, Jannes Van Hecke, Rob Schoofs, Nikola Storm, Julien Ngoy, Geoffry Hairemans.
Coach: S. Defour.

Analysis Saint-Gilloise

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 4 points won. In their debut they tied in an away match against Sint‑Truiden, by (1‑1). In the second round, they won in a home match against Sporting Charleroi, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 8 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 12 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got a home win against Rangers by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Saint‑Gilloise has won 5, tied 4 and lost 1. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Union Saint-Gilloise fights for the leadership of the Belgian Championship and faces another challenge that promises to be complicated, so they need concentration, combined with technical quality to beat Mechelen. The Brussels club also needs to make a technically impeccable match, with all sectors of the team presenting their best football, betting on a strong pressing to hold the rival attack, in addition to exploring the speed of their players when advancing, seeking to infiltrate the opponent's defense to make the kick and score the goal.

Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Moris, Viktor Boone, Siebe van der Heyden, Christian Burgess, Bart Nieuwkoop, Teddy Teuma, Cameron Puertas, Ilyes Ziani, Loic Lapoussin, Jean Thierry Lazare Amani, Dante Vanzeir.
Coach: F. Mazzù.
