KV Mechelen vs Westerlo prediction 22.04.2025 | Jupiler Pro League

• Competition: Jupiler Pro League
• Date: Tuesday, 22nd April 2025
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
• Venue: AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne (Mechelen)

KV Mechelen have another solid season. They are currently part of the Conference League group, with three points fewer than Charleroi, the team that holds the position that will give the playoff spot for one of the three European competitions. KV Mechelen were in excellent form lately, with a run of five games without defeat. In the last match, they lost 3-0 on the road against Charleroi. There wasn't a big difference between the teams' xG stats (2.02 to 1.91), so KV Mechelen could blame only their attack for being without any chance in that game. 

Westerlo could be satisfied with their season, too. However, they are five points behind Charleroi and will have to show the absolute best in the next six rounds to reach the Conference League playoff spot. Westerlo have struggled lately with only three points in the last four matches. In the previous game, Timmy Simons' team played 1-1 on the road against St. Liege. There wasn't a big difference between the two teams, and splitting points was probably the fairest outcome. 

KV Mechelen vs Westerlo pick: Under 3.5 goals

KV Mechelen scored only one goal in the last two matches. On the other hand, Westerlo scored five goals in the previous four games. We shouldn't expect more than three goals in the upcoming tie at AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne.
