Betting Predictions
In the first game of the 2024–25 Belgian Pro League season, Club Brugge will visit Mechelen at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Friday night to begin their title defense.
After winning every game in the Championship play-off round and defeating Union SG, the regular season leaders, by a single point, Blauw-Zwart won their 19th championship last year.
Head-to-Head
Based on previous records, Club Brugge has a winning streak of three games against this team. When these two teams played one other in April, the home team prevailed 3-1. The previous time Mechelen prevailed in this match on this field was almost a decade ago. Club Brugge is expected to attack the visitors with all guns blazing as they look to atone for their loss to St Gilloise in the Super Cup. Olympiacos defeated Mechelen 2-0 in their most recent warm-up match. Since January 2012, they have failed to win against Club Brugge at the Jan Breydel Stadion.
Team News
Bjorn Meijer, the left-back for Club Brugge, underwent knee surgery in May and is currently healing, therefore he is not available for this match.
Due to a muscular ailment sustained in June, teenage right-back Kyriani Sabbe is also anticipated to miss the season’s opening games. Meanwhile, midfielder Igor Thiago will be sidelined for several weeks due to a knee injury.
Toon Raemaekers, the center back for Mechelen, hasn’t returned to full fitness since suffering a cruciate ligament injury in October. Due to cruciate ligament damage, winger Bill Antonio will also be absent from the team for the first game.
Probable Line-Up
Club Brugge XI:
Mignolet; Romero, Ordonez, Mechele, De Cuyper; Nielsen, Vetlesen; Olsen, Vanaken, Onyedika; Nilsson
Mechelen XI:
Thoelen; Belghali, Konate, Marsa, Foulon; Schoofs, Mrabti; Pflucke, Bafdili, Storm; Lauberdach
Verdict
Tip: Club Brugge to Win❌
Reason
Even though Club Brugge was held to draws in their two meetings with Mechelen during the previous season, the home team is a different proposition now, and their title aspirations, together with the support of the home crowd, will give them a big advantage for this matchup.
It is noteworthy that the hosts have a winning streak of three games against this team. Furthermore, they have won both halves of the match in all three instances.

Tip: BTTS (YES)✅
Reason
Club Brugge are the favorites, and rightfully so as champions, but KVM proved dependable on the road throughout the previous season, and their head-to-head record indicates they might have a chance on Friday. Union SG defeated Brugge 2-1 last week, even though both teams scored in three of their five preseason games.
Both of these teams appear good for a goal in their season opener after Mechelen saw both teams score in three of their final four games the previous season and the equivalent fixture from that term ended in a 1-1 draw.
