Charleroi

LWDLDW ⚖

Charleroi are hoping to win again after their last result, the 1-2 First Division A - Play-Offs triumph versus KV Kortrijk.

In that match, Charleroi had 59% possession and 12 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. For Charleroi, the goalscorers were Antoine Bernier (54') and Achraf Dari (94'). Kortrijk got 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Isaak Davies (45') was the scorer for KV Kortrijk.

A recurring characteristic of more recent Charleroi games is the number of nil scores.

Taking their prior 6 clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have been a losing one. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, of course.

Eupen

LLWLDL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to RWD Molenbeek in First Division A - Play-Offs competition, Eupen and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Eupen managed 44% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Eupen was Gary Magnée (25'). RWD Molenbeek had 11 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Shuto Abe (42', 55') and Makhtar Gueye (83') scored for RWD Molenbeek.

The strike force from Eupen have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past six games, netting the poor return of only 3. In those fixtures, Pandas have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 11.
