With only four more games until the regular season ends, Mechelen are fighting to stay in the top 12 teams and avoid playing into the relegation group. They are currently only one point ahead of the position that could take them into the group playing for survival. Mechelen were in a terrible run of 11 games without a win until last weekend, when Besnik Hasi's team won 1-0 on the road against Royale Union SG. The guests finished the match with a significantly lower xG, but they still found a way to a surprising victory.
With six points fewer than safety, St. Truiden will probably play in the relegation group after the regular season ends. They are struggling lately with only two points in the last five matches. In the previous game, St. Truiden played 2-2 at home against Club Brugge. The home side was a big underdog but still picked a valuable point against one of the best teams in the competition. A surprising point from that match might restore some of St. Truiden's confidence.
Mechelen vs St. Truiden pick: Over 2.5 goals
In the first part of the season, St. Truiden won 2-1 at home against Mechelen. Generally, the previous three h2h games between these two teams were with three or more goals. We should expect another similar match.
