Pro League Betting Preview: OH Leuven vs Mechelen

OH Leuven square off against Mechelen at King Power at Den Dreef, with kick-off set for 13:15 on Sunday 1 February.

There’s a strong argument to go with Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market. Oud-Heverlee Leuven and Mechelen might not reach this total and we’re a fan of the odds of -133 that are available for this prediction.
