Best Tip: Both teams to score

After looking at the KickOff match predictions, bookies' odds and relevant statistics, there's one market that seems hard to ignore for this meeting: both teams to score. In Westerlo and Mechelen we have two sides going head-to-head that regularly score, but equally have trouble shutting the opposition out, and we expect them to show themselves again on Saturday evening. BTTS – yes best odds: 1.44.
