Team News

Club Bruges
KV Mechelen
  • Club Brugge open the new Pro League season as defending champions and come into the the game after losing last week's Belgian Super Cup Final to Union Saint Gilloise.
  • Club have conducted all of their transfer business early and will be boosted by the addition of right-back Hugo Siquet to fill a difficult position for them.
  • New Central Defender Zaid Romero had a difficult competitive debut last week in the Super Cup and KV mechelen will hope to expose him for a second week running.
  • KV Mechelen have been working hard to add quality and depth to their squad all over the pitch ahead of the start of the new season.

Prediction

  • Club will hope to make home advantage count on MD1 and play with an increased intensity and efficiency in their opening league fixture.
  • There remains general questions around whether KV Mechelen are yet ready for the start of the new season and this particular fixture is a difficult opening game for the side, who will no doubt be boosted by the addition of central defender Zinho Vanheusden in recent days.
  • Nevertheless, the hosts should make a winning start to the season.
