Best Tip: Both teams to score

After looking at our match predictions, bookies' odds and relevant statistics, there's one market which catches the eye for this meeting: both teams to score. In Mechelen and Brugge we have two sides going head-to-head that regularly score, but equally have trouble shutting the opposition out, and we expect them to prove that on Saturday evening. BTTS – yes best odds: 1.53.
