ℹ️ Team News: KV Mechelen

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the KV Mechelen manager Frédéric Vanderbiest to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Moncef Zekri (Ankle injury) won’t play.

It’s our opinion that KV Mechelen may well go for a 3-4-2-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with 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 believe Blauw-Zwart might play in a 4-2-3-1 formation using 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.
