🧠 Prediction

KAA Gent can and should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, Charleroi are also probably going to find it difficult to find the back of the net - but, we do see them converting at least once here, too.

We reckon that it will be a decent 3-1 margin for KAA Gent at the end of the match.
