ℹ️ Team News: Charleroi

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the Charleroi gaffer Karim Belhocine to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Massimo Bruno (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) is sidelined.

🗞️ Team News: KAA Gent

Gent boss Wim De Decker has not got a full squad to pick from. Alexandre De Bruyn (Hamstring Injury) and Roman Yaremchuk (Corona virus) will not be playing here.

🧠 Prediction

In this match, KAA Gent have the ability to get a goal against this Charleroi outfit, but it may not quite be enough to prevent defeat.

Our selection here is for a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Charleroi by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Could easily see this go either way.
