Another scintillating gameweek in the Jupiler Pro League is on the horizon and we cannot wait to see how it unfolds after last week’s drama. The table is changing rapidly every time teams take to the pitch and each matchday is as unpredictable as the last.
As usual, there will be plenty on the line this week and the fixtures could allow for some serious upsets. So read on as we discuss our picks for the 22nd matchday of the Jupiler Pro League campaign.

Genk to beat Mechelen @ 2.26
Mechelen are still firmly in the chase to be included in the Championship Playoff Round. They sit 10th, just four points from the promised land, so will be highly motivated to further climb the table and be included in the showdown come the end of the season. But Genk top the league by one point and are being fiercely pursued by Club Brugge, so it is vital they maintain their form with a win this weekend.
Club Brugge vs Beerschot: Both Teams to Score @ 1.97
Club Brugge really need a victory here, as any losses or stumbles could see them potentially fall further behind Genk – and this is something they absolutely cannot afford. This is why we are backing them for the victory against bottom of the league Beerschot, who need to start winning if they wish to avoid the Relegation Playoffs. With so much on the line, we think both teams will get on the scoresheet in a win for the hosts.
Anderlecht to beat Kortrijk @ 1.87
Anderlecht are determined to close the gap on the top two. However, on a three-game losing streak in the Pro League, something has to change. This weekend is the perfect opportunity for that to happen when facing a Kortrijk side who seem destined for the Relegation Playoffs. Some hope may come for Kortrijk in the form of an attainable points deficit to safety, but in the face of such strong opposition, we are firmly backing Anderlecht in this one.
STVV to beat Standard Liege @ 1.99
STVV are flirting with relegation and that is something they will want to begin to put a stop to this weekend with what would be a statement win. Picking up points in their last two games, STVV will hope to continue their form with a second consecutive win that would see them edge closer to safety. But it won’t be a walk in the park, as they face a Standard side with their own aspirations that will drive them to a solid display in an important game. It should be a close one, but we are siding with the favourites in what should be a fascinating Sunday clash.
