Charleroi Preview – Can Charleroi move into top eight?
Friday night’s hosts, Charleroi, seem stuck in a bit of a holding pattern right now in the Belgian top flight as they’ve won and lost just once each in their last five matches, drawing the other three which has meant that Charleroi haven’t moved out of 11th place on the First Division A ladder.
However, all three points against lowly St Truiden on Friday night would see Charleroi move up into the top eight and a possible place in the Championship Round later on in the season, and having picked up points in draws with Leuven, Zulte-Waregem and Waasland-Beveren along with a 3-1 win away at Kortrijk, the hosts stand a decent chance of a win here too.
Charleroi are without a home in their last four matches but they’ve held the upper hand over St Truiden in recent exchanges, winning three of the last four meetings against their visitors.
St Truiden Preview – Can St Truiden end slump?
Fourth from bottom outfit, St Truiden, face a tricky trip to face Charleroi on Friday night having lost three of their last four matches in the First Division A following losses against Oostende, Zulte-Waregem and Eupen.
Indeed, St Truiden have managed to win just one of their last seven matches overall in the Belgian top flight which came in the shape of a 3-0 home win over Cercle Brugge, while five of their eight wins to date this season have been on home turf.
Results away from home haven’t been so convincing as St Truiden have won just three on their travels so far this term amidst an away record of 3-4-7 17/26, failing to score in four of these 14 matches and the bigger picture shows that St Truiden have won just three of their last 17 matches on the road.
