Team News: Charleroi
Almost everyone can be considered, as thereโs just one fitness concern for the Charleroi boss Rik De Mil to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Aiham Ousou (Adductor injury) will miss out.

Team News: KV Mechelen
KV Mechelen boss Frรฉdรฉric Vanderbiest has not got a full squad to pick from. Julien Ngoy (unknown injury), Ahmed Touba (Hamstring muscle injury), Daam Foulon (minor knock) and Zinho Vanheusden (Inguinal hernia) are not able to play.

Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that KV Mechelen will need to apply a lot of pressure to score goals against this Charleroi lineup who we reckon will get the vital goal that wins it.
Weโre therefore seeing a narrow 1-0 winning score for Charleroi at full-time.
There should be little in it.
