Any slip-up from Anderlecht could prove costly, with two sides breathing down their necks in the race for a Europa League qualification spot, including their opponents KV Mechelen, whom they host at Lotto Park on matchday 38 of the Jupiler Pro League - Championship Group. The home team's defense has been repeatedly exposed, conceding in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions, with nine of those encounters seeing both teams get on the scoresheet. This strengthens our BTTS prediction.
Anderlecht are currently enduring a rough patch. The home team have failed to win their last five matches across all competitions, including a recent 3-1 extra-time defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian Cup final.
Regarding their performance in the Jupiler Pro League - Championship Group, the Purple & White's last match was against Gent. They managed to salvage a point in a 1-1 draw. That outcome halted a three-match losing streak.
KV Mechelen are also struggling for decent results. Ahead of this clash, they have won just one of their last eight league games (D1. L6).
Their most recent match was a 3-0 away defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise. This marked their fifth loss in six games, leaving confidence within the camp at a low point.
De Kakkers are on the road seeking a positive outcome. That'll prove to be a daunting task, having failed to win in any of their last five matches (D1, L4).

Our Anderlecht vs Mechelen Prediction
Neither team heads into this clash in good form, which makes selecting an outright winner a difficult call. Anderlecht, however, are favourites with bookmakers to snatch three points, given their form against this opponent this season. They have won two of their last three meetings, with two of those encounters seeing both teams score.
This has also been an ongoing trend in Anderlecht's last six home games between the two sides. Given the home team's defensive lapses, KV Mechelen are likely to get on the scoresheet in this one. Our Anderlecht vs KV Mechelen prediction: BTTS.
