In the opening round of the Jupiler Pro League in Belgium, Gent will be up against KV Mechelen. Both sides finished in the Championship Group last season and will be targeting a similar run in this campaign. As both sides scored in four of their recent five meetings, our prediction here will be drawn from the goals market.
Gent were pretty strong at home before the split last season, winning eight and drawing twice in the 15 matches played. They, however, conceded on average more than a goal per game, letting in a total of 17 goals.
The hosts would go on to win the Conference League playoffs. They are coming off a 1-0 away win against Göteborg in the UECL third qualifying round first leg.
Mechelen may not be as fit as their hosts, who have played three competitive matches already. They will, however, try as much as they can to match up, though such chances are at a low, looking at their preseason performances.
Mechelen wrapped up their friendly matches with a 0-0 draw against Dunkerque, the second straight game in which they failed to score. That also left the visitors winless in their closing three preseason matches.
The Malinois are undefeated in their last two outings against Gent, and they come here looking to maintain that. They failed to score in just two of the last 10 meetings with Gent.

Our Gent vs Mechelen Prediction
This fixture rarely goes without goals; in four of the last five meetings between these two sides, both got to score. Across their last 10 matches there were three clean sheets recorded, two by Gent and one by Mechelen.
Going by these numbers as well as the teams’ recent performances in their domestic matches, there is a big likelihood that we may not have a clean sheet in this encounter. Our prediction for the Gent v KV Mechelen encounter is for BTTS.
