📋 Team News: KV Mechelen

There is just one fitness concern for the KV Mechelen manager Frédéric Vanderbiest to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Moncef Zekri (Ankle injury) is sidelined.

It seems likely that KV Mechelen look set to use the 3-4-2-1 formation this time, handing starts to Ortwin De Wolf, Tommy St. Jago, Redouane Halhal, José Marsà, Therence Koudou, Fredrik Hammar, Mory Konaté, Mathis Servais, Kerim Mrabti, Myron van Brederode and Bouke Boersma.

🗞️ Team News: Club Brugge

We’re of the thinking that Blauw-Zwart might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Dani van den Heuvel, Hugo Siquet, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Joaquin Seys, Hans Vanaken, Aleksandar Stankovic, Carlos Forbs Borges, Hugo Vetlesen, Christos Tzolis and Nicolo Tresoldi.

🔮 Prediction

In this match, Club Brugge will most probably have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.

In contrast, KV Mechelen might well find it difficult scoring but we do see them converting at least once here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 1-3 win for Club Brugge at the end of this one.
