KV Mechelen hosts St. Truiden in round 7 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 26th at AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne (Mechelen)
After four defeats in a row, Vrancken's team has an ideal candidate to interrupt a series of failures in the championship, especially since the Oranges will finally manage to play with the support of the stands. In the offseason, Mechelen's lineup did not change as dramatically as the opponent's one, and there was outright bad luck in this streak of defeats, as in the match with Oostende at home. In the last round, the Oranges showed a good game only in the first 45 minutes of the match with Genk, but they lost concentration in the second half and lost with a 3-1 score. The infirmary of Mechelen is empty.

St. Truiden was able to defeat its opponent only in the first round, but then the visitors looked weaker with each match. Now the Canaries have less time to prepare for the upcoming match, as they played their match with Cercle Brugge on Monday and again failed in defense without their main central defender Caufriez (0-3). The attack stopped working effectively, so the team began to slow down. Caufriez, De Ridder and Konate will not play again.
In the last season, the teams crossed their paths twice in the championship and exchanged away victories. Sint-Truiden won on the road (2-1), but Mechelen took revenge more convincingly (3-0). Now, with the fans returning to the stands, Mechelen should not allow the fifth time in a row, especially since its opponent is on the decline and is forced to play without the main central defender. Beyond that, the visitors got less time to recover, so the hosts' victory looks like a good option for a bet.
Prediction for the match: KV Mechelen to win
