Best Tip: Both teams to score

Mechelen may feel optimistic ahead of this match and, funnily enough, so might Westerlo. The bookies can't split them and neither can we – there's no obvious victor in this clash. So we look to the both teams to score market, where there's far more reason to be certain. The form statistics, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookies odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and that's what we'd recommend too.
