Read on to bet on our best free predictions for the encounter.

Mechelen to Win or Draw

Our first Standard Liege vs Mechelen prediction is a double chance in favour of the visitors, Mechelen. As the team that has been dominating this game, we believe Mechelen makes this trip prepared to grab at least a point from Standard Liege yet again. The visitors won all the last five duels across all competitions and were the visitors on the last two trips to Liege. They won three and drew one of their last away assignments against Standard Liege.

Both Teams to Score

Both teams to score is our second Mechelen vs Standard Liege prediction. Notably, four of the last five ended with BTTS outcomes. Moreover, 8 of the last 10 meetings had a goal-goal outcome. The visitors only failed to score in one of the last five games, so while  Liege could not score in two of the last five, home support should be a boost for the hosts. Bet on a goal-goal outcome in this First Division A clash between Liege and Mechelen.

Under 10.5 Corners

This should be a highly competitive matchup. The hosts will look to win against Mechelen for the first time in 6 meetings while Mechelen looks to extend their winning streak against Standard Liege to 6 consecutive games. Bet on under 10.5 corners in a match we expect to be very thrilling but defensive.

Standard Liege vs Mechelen Fixture Preview

Standard Liege

Standard Liege is currently in 6th place. Their home form has been fairly good as they sit 8th in the home run. The hosts have 5 wins and 3 draws from 11 home matches so far. However, 20 goals scored at home and 17 leaked means while they have been good offensively in front of fans, the defensive record on home soil has been a letdown for the hosts. With that, the hosts look like they could concede at least a goal in this game in as much as we expect them to score.

Ronny Deila´s Team Updates:

The coach has a good group of players who are not yet recovered from their respective injuries. Gilles Dewaele, Renaud Emond and Nathan Ngoy. Selim Amallah, who is serving his suspension, will be an important loss, as he is the player who leads the Goals-Assists table. Ronny Deila must choose who will be the player to take the main role that Amallah usually takes.

Mechelen

Mechelen is in the 13th spot. The current run isn’t their best, and it begs the question, will Mechelen make it six out of 6 wins against Liege? Worryingly, the distant possibility of a win is evidenced by Mechelen’s poor run on the road. They are last in away performance with 1 win and 1 draw recorded in 8 trips. They have scored 7 and conceded 17 goals away from home.

Steven Defour´s Team Update:

The line-up for this match will be somewhat limited, as the coach will be without some key players, and others who are usually main substitutes. Rayane Falchou, Jordi Venierberghe, Boli Bolingoli, Julien Ngoy, and Lucas Bijker are the five players who will miss this match due to injuries, some more serious than others. The offensive contributions of Julien Ngoy have been lacking in recent days, as well as the fierce defensive work of Jordi Venierberghe.
