Here's another interesting game in the Pro League. Anderlecht is in the 12th place from completing five fixtures. They host Mechelen who are placed 13th from six matches.
- All of Anderlecht's home-matches have had more than 2,5 goals.
- Mechelen have yet to win a game away.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Anderlecht form and stats
Only two Pro League home games for Anderlecht so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
In their previous game, the manager V. Kompany led his Anderlecht to a defeat in the Pro League match away at Genk. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Defender Wesley Hoedt got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.62/10. Hoedt won 4 of 7 duels.
Before that match, a win away at Cercle Brugge.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Anderlecht handle that role? We have found nine games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, three draws and four defeats.

Mechelen form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Pro League for Mechelen with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
Mechelen has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Kortrijk for a Pro League game that ended a draw (2-2). Nikola Storm got a match rating of 8.15 in that game, top player of the team. Storm scored two goals and had 20 successful passes (of 23 total). Drawing 2-2 against Kortrijk after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager W. Vrancken needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Before that, Mechelen secured a home win against Union Saint-Gilloise with the score 3-1.We have checked recent matches where Mechelen have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, three draws and four defeats.
