Jupiler Pro League Predictions 2024/25: Gameweek 25: 07/02-09/02
Genk extended their lead at the top of the Jupiler League Pro to six points after they won their game and Club Brugge, the chaser, lost theirs in the surprise of gameweek 24. Anderlecht lost and are now just four points above seventh-placed Standard Liege.
Only Westerlo from the bottom four teams won last week; the other three teams lost, and their chances of escaping the relegation group are getting slimmer. Charleroi’s win means that they are now four points behind the sixth position, which entitles them to play in the Championship Group.
This week’s Jupiler Pro League gameweek 25 predictions were made based on current form, expert knowledge, and data.
Jupiler League Pro 2024/25 Gameweek 25 Predictions and Odds: 07/02/25 - 09/02/25
Can Mechelen end their losing streak when they host Gent? Mechelen vs Gent
- Date: 07/02/2025
- Kick Off: 19:45 UTC
- Mechelen, who are 12th with 27 points, will take on Gent, who are sixth with 36 points. Gent won the last three H2H meetings.
Mechelen returned from Leuven with a 1-0 defeat in the previous round, which was their fourth consecutive loss. The hosts are winless in nine games, losing six and drawing three. Mechelen have won just once in ten meetings when facing the top six teams in the league. Gent ended a four-match winless run by beating Anderlecht 1-0 at home in round 24. That extended Gent’s undefeated run to four games, during which they drew three and won one. Gent have not lost any of their seven games against the bottom five teams. We will back Gent with the double chance.
Mechelen vs Gent Prediction: Gent to Win or Draw
Club Brugge to bounce back from their latest defeat as they host Leuven: Club Brugge vs Leuven
- Date: 08/02/2025
- Kick Off: 15:00 UTC
- Second-placed Club Brugge with 48 points will square off with Leuven, who are tenth with 29 points. Club Brugge have won the last four H2H meetings.
In a dramatic final five minutes of their game, Club Brugge found themselves losing 2-1 to Antwerp after they were leading by a goal to nil. That was the hosts’ first defeat in 15 games and fourth of the season. Club Brugge are undefeated when facing the bottom seven teams, winning nine and drawing three. Leuven, meanwhile, enter this match on the back of a 1-0 home win over Mechelen in the previous round. The visitors conceded first in nine of their 12 away games in the league and conceded at least a goal in 83% of their away games. Club Brugge are firm favorites to bounce back and win this game.
Club Brugge vs Leuven Prediction: Club Brugge to Win
Dender and St. Truiden meet in what is expected to be a low-scoring game: Dender vs St. Truiden
- Date: 08/02/2025
- Kick Off: 17:15 UTC
- Dender, with 28 points in 11th position, will face 14th-placed St. Truiden, who have 23 points. The last game between these teams ended in a draw.
A 5-0 heavy away defeat at the hands of Charleroi meant that Dender have lost their last three games in the Jupiler League Pro. The hosts are two points above the relegation group and are fighting to avoid it. Dender failed to score in their last four matches. St. Truiden also enter this game after losing their latest game away to Royale Union by 2-1. The visitors’ 75% of the visitors games ended with under 3.5 goals, and they scored an average of 1.08 goals per game when playing on the road. This game is crucial for both teams, and as a result, they will both be cautious going forward.
Dender vs St. Truiden Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals
Genk must find no difficulties in beating Cercle Brugge: Genk vs Cercle Brugge
- Date: 08/02/2025
- Kick Off: 19:45 UTC
- Leader of the table Genk with 54 points will entertain ninth-placed Cercle Brugge with 29 points. The last five H2H meetings ended with two Genk wins and two draws.
Genk recorded their fourth consecutive win after beating Beerschot 1-0 at home in the previous round. That was Genk’s 17th win of the season and 11th home win in 12 games. They are undefeated at home. Genk have scored at least a goal in 11 of their 12 home games and kept seven clean sheets. Cercle Brugge extended their unbeaten run to eight games after drawing 1-1 with Standard Liege at home in round 24. The visitors have drawn five of their last eight matches. We think Cercle Brugge have the ability to steal a point off Genk after their fine streak.
Genk vs Cercle Brugge Prediction: Genk to Win or Draw
A very tight game is expected when Anderlecht and Antwerp meet: Anderlecht vs Antwerp
- Date: 09/02/2025
- Kick Off: 12:30 UTC
- Anderlecht, who are fifth with 39 points, will square off against fourth-placed Antwerp with 40 points. Four of the last five H2H meetings ended with under three goals.
Anderlecht suffered their seventh defeat of the season after going down 1-0 away to Gent in the previous round. The hosts have lost four of their last six games in the league. Since the start of the season, Anderlecht games have produced an average of 2.71 goals per game. Anderlecht failed to score in 25% of their home games. Antwerp extended their unbeaten run to seven games after beating Club Brugge 2-1 in round 24. With four consecutive unbeaten games when playing on the road, Antwerp have been very solid in recent matches. We anticipate three or fewer goals in this one.
Anderlecht vs Antwerp Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals
Royale Union are the firm favorites to win when they meet Kortrijk: Kortrijk vs Royale Union
- Date: 09/02/2025
- Kick Off: 15:00 UTC
- 15th-placed Kortrijk with 19 points will host Royale Union, who are third with 43 points. Royale Union have won the last five H2H meetings.
Kortrijk still have a very slim chance to avoid playing in the relegation group but need to win all of their remaining games. In the previous round, Kortrijk lost 2-1 at home to Westerlo, which was their 15th defeat of the season. The hosts are winless in eight games, losing six of them. Royale Union are in great form, going unbeaten in 12 games. They beat Sint Truiden 2-1 at home in round 24 and extended their winning streak to five games. Royale have won their three games when facing the bottom two teams. We predict Royale Union to emerge as winners in this game.
Kortrijk vs Royale Union Prediction: Royale Union to Win
At least two goals are expected as Westerlo host Standard Liege: Westerlo vs Standard Liege
- Date: 09/02/2025
- Kick Off: 17:30 UTC
- Seventh-placed Standard Liege with 35 points will take on Westerlo, who are 13th with 26 points. The last four H2H meetings ended with three or more goals.
After eight matches without a win, Westerlo finally picked up all three points after beating Kortrijk 2-1 on the road. It was Westerlo’s seventh win of the season and third away victory. Defense has been an issue for the home team as they failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine matches. Playing on the road, Standard Liege are undefeated in five away matches and in their last five fixtures. The visitors need to keep on winning to battle for the top six places. Standard Liège’s 50% of games produced two or more goals. With a possibility of 70%, we predict this match will produce two or more goals.
Westerlo vs Standard Liege Prediction: Over 2 Goals
Beerschot will host Charleroi as they search for a rare win: Beerschot vs Charleroi
- Date: 09/02/2025
- Kick Off: 18:15 UTC
- Bottom of the table Beerschot with 13 points will face Charleroi, who are eighth with 32 points. Charleroi won the last three H2H meetings.
Beerschot need a miracle to escape the relegation group before the end of the season, which is six games away. The hosts lost 1-0 to Genk on the road in the previous round and suffered their 15th defeat of the season. Beerschot conceded at least a goal in each of their 12 away matches.
Charleroi extended their unbeaten run to three games after beating Dender by 5-0 in round 24. That was Charleroi’s ninth win of the season, but their away form is not impressive, having lost seven of their 12 away games. We anticipate Beerschot might pull off a surprise, and thus, we will back them with a double chance.
