An intriguing contest awaits us on Friday evening when Club Brugge and KV Mechelen meet in the first matchday of the 2024-25 Belgian top flight campaign.
Club Brugge have made the Belgian Pro League theirs in recent years. The hosts battled until the final day of last season, edging Royale Union Saint-Gilloise by a single point to secure their fourth league title in five years and are tipped to win the Belgian top flight this season again.
Mechelen meanwhile finished outside the top six for the fourth consecutive season. However, they ended the 2023-24 campaign well, beating the likes of Westerlo and Standard and continued that form in pre-season friendlies.
Club Brugge vs KV Mechelen betting tips: Club Brugge to win
Winning the league was a great achievement for Club Brugge, but they didn't end the season the way they would have liked. They were beaten 2-1 by Union Saint-Gilloise in the final of the Belgian Cup and will be looking to bounce back on Friday.
Club Brugge go into the game on a run of eight consecutive home games without defeat, registering six wins (two draws). They also have a strong record against Mechelen at this venue, having won seven of the last eight meetings.
Despite being underdogs, Mechelen are capable of scoring goals. The visitors have scored in each of their last five competitive matches, including at least twice in four of those encounters.
