Mechelen sit in mid-table and have no clear league-table incentive, but their recent results make them look the stronger side. The key question is whether Oud-Heverlee Leuven can end their poor run against opponents who have picked up points more often in recent rounds.

In their recent home matches, they scored an average of 1.17 goals and conceded 1.33, while Mechelen scored and conceded 1.25 goals per match in their recent away matches.

Corners Prediction
Oud-Heverlee Leuven have taken fewer than 6.5 corners in 7 of their last 8 home matches. This is a direct argument for the home side’s team total, although the data does not provide average corner figures. We’re backing Oud-Heverlee Leuven Team Total Corners - Under 6.5 at odds of 1.51*.
High-Risk Bet
Oud-Heverlee Leuven have failed to win 10 of their last 11 matches, while Mechelen have failed to win 11 of their last 12 away matches.

*The odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.*
⭐ Editor's Pick
The trend favours Mechelen: Oud-Heverlee Leuven have failed to win 10 of their last 11 league matches. The visitors' form also supports that advantage - four wins and one draw in their last five league rounds show that the team are in good shape. The hosts are still fighting to avoid relegation, but their defence remains vulnerable, and their run of defeats does not inspire confidence. Their position in the table is pushing Oud-Heverlee Leuven to play proactively, but Mechelen's consistency suggests that the visitors will at least avoid defeat. The bet is Double Chance - Mechelen (X2).
