Anderlecht vs KV Mechelen Prediction: Anderleht to bounce back to winning ways

At Lotto Park, Anderlecht will play KV Mechelen in round 23 of the Jupiler Pro League. The two teams are coming off a defeat and will hope for a better result here. How will this game unfold? Below, I make previews of this game and offer predictions. 

Anderlecht

Anderlecht played Kortrijk in their last encounter in the Jupiler Pro League and won. In a game that ended 0-2, Anderlecht conceded twice in the second half, with Thorgan Hazard and Cesar Saul netting for their opponent. Heading into this game, Anderlecht have lost two of their last five matches. The home team, however, secured wins over Kortrijk, Antwerp, and Beerschot VA in that run. In 22 games, Anderlecht have 36 points, which sees them sit 4th in the standings.

KV Mechelen

KV Mechelen's last league game was against Genk, and they lost. In a match that ended 1-2, KV Mechelen saw a Benito Raman lead overturned by their opponent before the break. However, KV Mechelen have failed to win any of their last eight competitive matches. Away from home, the visiting team have avoided only once in recent times. With 27 points from 22 games, KV Mechelen sit 10th in the standings, scored 36 goals and conceded 29. 

Expert Betting Tips

Anderlecht should get things right here after a poor play in their last match. However, KV Mechelen's performances have not suggested they will trouble their opponent enough on the road. This should be a close contest, especially with Anderlecht not being dominant recently. Bet on the home team winning, and while we have witnessed goals in the last meetings of this fixture, I expect a similar outcome. 

My first option is a win for Anderlecht with odds at 1.90 on 1Xbet
