DomainJava.com – Mechelen vs Standard Liege prediction in the Belgian Pro League match, Standard Liège will travel to AFAS Stadium on Thursday for a First Division A match with hosts KV Mechelen.
KV Mechelen will play in this match after a 1-1 First Division A draw against KVC Westerlo.
In that match, KV Mechelen controlled the ball 51% and fired 10 shots on goal, 3 of which were on target. The only player to score for KV Mechelen was Rob Schoofs (35′). On the other hand, Westerlo fired 19 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Luka Vušković (75′) scores for KVC Westerlo.
KV Mechelen has rarely shown a solid defense in the last few matches. They will be worried as KV Mechelen conceded in 5 of their previous 6 matches, conceding 9 goals.
After losing their last match against KAA Gent in the First Division A competition, Standard Liège will look to make amends for their loss here.
In the match, Standard Liège had 41% possession and had 9 shots on goal with 0 on target. Gent fired 20 shots on goal with 9 on target. Franck Surdez (82′) was the scorer for KAA Gent.
During 5 of the previous six matches featuring Standard Liège, the number of goals scored between them and their opponents was relatively few. The overall average number of goals per game during that period was just 1.5, with the average for Les Rouches at 0.67. However, that trend will not necessarily continue into this match.
A review of their previous direct clashes dating back to 17/01/2023 shows that KV Mechelen have won 2 matches and Standard Liège 1, with the number of drawn matches being 3.
A total of 12 goals were scored between them during those matches, with 7 goals for Mechelen and 5 goals for Les Rouches. Average goals per match is 2.
The previous league match featuring these clubs was First Division A match day 3 on 09/08/2024 when the final score was Standard Liège 0-0 KV Mechelen.
On that day, Standard Liège managed 40% of the ball and fired 17 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target.
KV Mechelen fired 9 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.
The referee who led the match was Jan Boterberg.
Nikola Storm (knee injury), Daam Foulon (partial muscle tear), Zinho Vanheusden (inguinal hernia), Mory Konaté (knee injury), Jules Van Cleemput (adductor injury) and Bill Antonio (cruciate ligament tear) will not play for manager KV Mechelen Besnik Hasi.
We think KV Mechelen should go with a 3-4-2-1 formation for this one, using Ortwin De Wolf, Toon Raemaekers, Bas Van den Eynden, Ahmed Touba, Rafik Belghali, A. Ouattara Mohammed, Rob Schoofs, José Marsà, Petter Nosa Dahl, Kerim Mrabti and Lion Lauberbach.
Standard Liège manager Ivan Leko has some player fitness issues at the moment. Boli Bolingoli (minor injury), David Bates (knee injury), Arnaud Bodart (adductor tear), Nathan Ngoy (meniscus injury) and Alexandro Calut (partial muscle tear) are unable to play.
We predict Les Rouches will most likely play in a 3-5-2 system using Matthieu Epolo, Souleyman Doumbia, Bosko Sutalo, Henry Lawrence, Marlon Fossey, Isaac Price, S. Alexandropoulos, Marko Bulat, Léandre Kuavita, Andi Zeqiri, and Dennis Eckert Ayensa.
