📏 Form Guide

Charleroi LWWWWW 🔥

Charleroi will be looking for another win after the 1-3 First Division A success over Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

For Charleroi, goals were scored by Dorian Dessoleil (6'), Mamadou Fall (49') and Kaveh Rezaei (80'). Xavier Mercier (34') was the scorer for Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that it has been a great time for the Charleroi rearguard. Les Zèbres have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their last 6 outings standing at 3. It will be interesting to find out if that trend will be continued on into this next match.

Pre-game facts show that Charleroi:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Antwerp in their previous 3 games.
• have not been beaten in their last 10 home league matches. A run that they'll hope to extend here.

🗞️ Team News: Charleroi

Massimo Bruno (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Christophe Diandy (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will be missing for Charleroi gaffer Karim Belhocine. Mamadou Fall cannot play in this game through suspension.

We think that Les Zèbres look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system and select Nicolas Penneteau, Joris Kayembe Ditu, Dorian Dessoleil, Steeven Willems, Maxime Busi, Marco Ilaimaharitra, Guillaume Gillet, Ali Gholizadeh, Ryota Morioka, Ivan Goranov and Kaveh Rezaei.

ℹ️ Team News: Antwerp

Antwerp boss Ivan Leko has not got a full squad to pick from. Aurélio Buta (Torn Muscle), Matheus (Calf Injury), Alexis De Sart (Intraarticular ligament crack in the ankle) and Sander Coopman (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that The Great Old seem likely to make use of a 3-5-2 formation, choosing Jean Butez, Abdoulaye Seck, Ritchie De Laet, Dylan Batubinsika, Nill De Pauw, Birger Verstraete, Faris Haroun, Pieter Gerkens, Didier Lamkel Ze, Lior Refaelov and Dieumerci Mbokani.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Antwerp have it within them to breach the defence of this Charleroi team, but that is unlikely to be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re expecting a close game with a 2-1 advantage for Charleroi after 90 minutes. Should be a good one.
