KV Mechelen vs Anderlecht Prediction (11.09.2026)

To put it mildly, Mechelen's performance in the new season of the Belgian league has been shaky. In their first five league matches, the team has yet to secure a victory and has lost three of them, failing to score a goal in the process. Now, Mechelen will host Anderlecht and hope that the home advantage will help against an opponent that has also been less than convincing.

Anderlecht performed at a high level in the Europa League and reached the group stage, but things do not look quite as good in the domestic league. The team started with a win, but in the following four matches, they managed only one more success. Even more concerning is their performance in away games, as both of their visits so far have ended in defeats without scoring.

I expect a relatively even match, in which Anderlecht may again face problems away from home. At the same time, Mechelen is not showing satisfactory performance and concedes goals relatively easily, which leads me to expect that both teams will score this time. An additional argument is the fact that nine of the last ten direct encounters have ended with goals in both nets.
