Union - Mechelen: betting tip (cf 1.99) and bets on the Belgian Championship match (January 17, 2026) from UPU

Union was approaching the start of the season as a clear contender for the championship title and generally had only one clear competitor in the face of Brugge. So far, David Hubert's team has justified its status and occupies the first place in the table, but at the same time, Brugge is only one point ahead of the second. A few days ago, Union qualified for the semi-finals of the Belgian Cup, beating Dender 2-0.

Mechelen did not really have the opportunity to seriously claim a place in the top six and a ticket to the European Cup, but he spent the first half of the season very powerfully and is currently in fifth place in the table. Frederik Vanderbeest's team managed to break away from seventh Antwerp by four points, but so far such a handicap cannot guarantee anything, especially since Genk and Ghent are still outside the top six.
