Oud-Heverlee Leuven v Mechelen : Pro League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 3rd May, 17:15 BST, Den Dreef Stadium, Heverlee

John Coleman welcomes Besnik Hasi to the Den Dreef Stadium on Saturday evening, as their Oud-Heverlee Leuven and Mechelen charges clash in the Pro League. Below you'll find predictions for all the biggest betting markets, supporting stats including head-to-heads, and the best odds. All is accessible using the tabs below.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting there's minimal chance that this fixture will deliver more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats are in line with our predictive algorithm on this one. Leuven and Mechelen have rarely treated their fans to thrillers of late, whether that be in the Pro League individually or when going head-to-head. So, without a strong favourite win or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.36.
