Team News: Charleroi
Massamba Sow (Achilles tendon problems), Grejohn Kyei (minor knock) and Aiham Ousou (Adductor injury) will be missing for Charleroi manager Rik De Mil.
We think that Les Zèbres could make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match 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 multiple availability issues to deal with. Takahiro Akimoto (Thigh problems) and Antef Tsoungui (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that OHL will likely utilise a 4-3-1-2 formation by sending out 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.
