🗞️ Team News: Charleroi

Grejohn Kyei (minor knock), Aiham Ousou (Adductor injury) and Massamba Sow (Achilles tendon problems) won’t be available for Charleroi boss Rik De Mil.

We think that Les Zèbres may well employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Martin Delavallée, Jeremy Petris, Cheick Keita, Stelios Andreou, M. Nzita Theto, Yacine Titraoui, Etienne Camara, Antoine Bernier, Adem Zorgane, Parfait Guiagon and Nikola Stulic.

📋 Team News: Oud-Heverlee Leuven

Oud-Heverlee Leuven boss Chris Coleman has some current player fitness concerns. Antef Tsoungui (Cruciate ligament tear) and Takahiro Akimoto (Thigh problems) will not be playing here.

From our viewpoint, OHL seem most likely to make use of a 4-3-1-2 lineup, starting Tobe Leysen, Thibault Vlietinck, Ewoud Pletinckx, Roggerio Nyakossi, Federico Ricca, Siebe Schrijvers, Mathieu Maertens, Ezechiel Banzuzi, William Balikwisha, C. Ikwuemesi and Thibaud Verlinden.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that Charleroi look likely to get amongst the goals when they face Oud-Heverlee Leuven, who won’t find it easy finding the net themselves.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 2-0 win for Charleroi at the end of this one.
