Dender v Mechelen : Pro League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 19th Oct, 15:00 BST, Van Roystadion, Denderleeuw

Dender are in Pro League action on Sunday afternoon, as Hayk Milkon aims to beat Frederik D'Hollander and his Mechelen side at the Van Roystadion. We've got predictions, tips, and the best odds and head-to-head stats across all the main betting markets, all with the aim of helping you find a winning bet on this Pro League clash.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Hayk Milkon and Frederik D'Hollander to batten down the hatches here, but we're certainly not expecting a deluge of goals as Dender and Mechelen go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.75 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we recommend.
