As La Louviere and Mechelen seem to be evenly matched, a close encounter is on the cards at Easi Arena, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The hosts have been showing enough defensive resilience recently to avoid defeat in this match. La Louviere managed to hold Anderlecht to a clean sheet in a goalless draw and have an 80% BTTS rate overall, suggesting they tend to stay competitive even against stronger sides.Mechelen head into the match with uncertainty over in-form attacker Myron van Brederode after he picked up a knock in the 3-2 loss to Genk. Their away form is shaky (0.80 PPG, 60% failure to score), and defensively they concede too often on the road. However, their attacking baseline â 1.20 goals scored per game and solid expected goals numbers â suggests they still carry enough threat to find the net.
