Football Bet of the Day: Mechelen to fall short of Standard

• Standard are in excellent form
• Mechelen have conceded nine in three outings

Yellow-Red Mechelen v Standard
Wednesday 19:45

Sevilla and Valencia drew 1-1 in Spain last night to leave us a goal short of our target.

We've come to Belgium today for one of the three games from the top-flight First Division A. Standard have found some form and we like the price on them landing another away win tonight.

Ronny Deila's Standard (W7-D1-L4) are fifth in the table. Home and away, the Reds have won six of their last seven, keeping five clean sheets. They've won all of their last three on the road.

Mechelen (W3-D2-L7) have lost three straight home and away, and five of their last seven. Danny Buijs's men look shaky at the back - they've conceded at least three times in 6/8 including all of the last three - and haven't exactly been prolific recently. They've scored once across their last four outings. On their own patch, the Yellow-Reds have already lost three times and we'll take the plump price on them to go down again today.
