Jupiler Pro League: Matchday 12 Betting Tips
*All odds are subject to change
Draw between Charleroi and Anderlecht @ 3.60
Charleroi are really struggling this season, with just three wins on the board so far and four consecutive defeats. The Zebras will rely on their home crowd to hold off an Anderlecht side that remains solid, but occasionally shaky away from home. The Mauves have drawn two of their last three away fixtures, and their defence has looked fragile in the final minutes of matches. This encounter could very well end in a stalemate.
Mechelen to beat OH Leuven @ 2.18
Mechelen have a golden opportunity to move closer to the top two. With 18 points on the board, Fredrik Hammar’s side are having an excellent season so far and could even climb onto the podium with a win. After their convincing 3-0 victory away at Dender, Mechelen are full of confidence heading into this clash with OH Leuven, another struggling side in the Jupiler Pro League. Lion Lauberbach, who has scored five goals this season, could once again play a key role in securing the three points for Mechelen.
Royal Antwerp vs Club Brugge: Both Teams to Score – No @ 2.25
Club Brugge, who recently suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, still have their sights firmly set on reclaiming top spot. Nicky Hayen’s men remain three points behind Union Saint-Gilloise and can’t afford to drop points, especially against a far weaker Antwerp side. Despite playing at home, Antwerp’s attack has been lacklustre all throughout this season, managing only four goals so far. It’s unlikely they will trouble Club Brugge’s solid defence.
Draw between Union Saint-Gilloise and Sint-Truiden @ 5.40
Union Saint-Gilloise continue to dominate the Pro League, but the recent managerial change appears to have unsettled the team a little bit — as seen in their heavy 0-4 home defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League. On paper, David Hubert’s men are stronger than Sint-Truiden, but this could be the perfect time for Wouter Vrancken’s side to spring a surprise. Sint-Truiden are coming off an encouraging 2-2 draw with Anderlecht and currently sit just one point off the podium.
