Charleroi Preview – Can Charleroi consolidate top six berth?
4th placed Sporting Charleroi have an opportunity to leapfrog Antwerp into 3rd spot in the Belgian First Division A on Tuesday night when they play host to Mechelen at their Stade du Pays de Charleroi, and having lost just 1 of their last 15 matches overall, the hosts look in good shape to collect another three points here.
The rare defeat inflicted upon Charleroi came in the shape of a 1-0 defeat away from home at 6th placed Genk, but recent emphatic results against Oostende 5-0 and Zulte-Waregem 4-0 have helped sustain Charleroi’s challenge for a top six finish and a place in the Championship Round.
Home form has also been for Charleroi so far this season as the hosts have won 6 of their last 7 matches on home turf and in turn have also racked up a total of 7 clean sheets on the trot too, thus making Charleroi a formidable unit at home.
In addition, Charleroi are unbeaten in their last 8 meetings at home against Mechelen.
Mechelen Preview – Can Mechelen stay in touch?
Tuesday night’s visitors, Mechelen, have dropped down to 8th place in the First Division A following a recent spate of defeats which have seen them lose their last 3 matches on the trot in the Belgian top flight.
Defeats to Standard Liege, Gent and Cercle Brugge have resulted in Mechelen finding themselves 3 points adrift of the top six and 6th placed Genk and their situation doesn’t look like it’s getting better anytime soon as they have this tough trip to Charleroi coming up on Tuesday night.
Mechelen’s away record stands at an inconsistent looking 6-1-5 17/17 as the visitors have either dealt in wins or losses so far this season, but it’s been defeats for the large part in recent weeks as they’ve lost 3 of their last 4 matches on the road.
Losses at Antwerp, Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge certainly don’t bode well for this upcoming clash.
