There’s also action in the Belgian top flight on Friday night with Sporting Charleroi taking on Anderlecht as the betting tips continue at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi.
Sporting Charleroi Prediction – Can Sporting Charleroi break into top six?
9th placed Sporting Charleroi find themselves in the ‘bottom half’ of the Belgian First Division A but also in one of the Europa League play-off positions in this quirky division, ahead of their Friday night clash with Anderlecht.
Results so far this season have been a mixed bag for the hosts who have actually lost just twice in their first 8 matches of the new Belgian domestic season, and these have been defeats away from home at Zulte-Waregem 3-1 and a 3-0 loss at home to Sint-Truiden.
However, Sporting Charleroi have addressed the balance by recording recent wins over Waasland-Beveren 4-0 away from home and a 2-1 home win against 7th placed Genk, so they’ll be reasonably confident of getting a result at home on Friday night.
Sporting Charleroi’s home record stands at 2-1-1 5/6 and includes an earlier win over 4th placed Antwerp, as well as a 1-1 draw with 3rd placed Gent, so the hosts have shown they can hold their own against the stronger teams in the division.
Anderlecht Prediction – Can Anderlecht gain first away win?
It’s been tough going for Anderlecht so far in this new Belgian First Division A campaign as the former giants of the domestic scene now seem to be a sleeping one as the visitors find themselves fourth from bottom in the Belgian top flight and just 3 points above the relegation zone.
With just 1 win out of their first 9 matches so far this season, it looks like being a tough campaign for Anderlecht whose only success so far this term was a 1-0 home win against 2nd placed Standard Liege, but they’re still without a win on their travels.
Anderlecht’s situation looks bleak when looking at their results away from home as the visitors have lost 3 of their first 4 away matches of this new season, with defeats at Kortrijk, Genk and Club Brugge, while their 0-0 draw at Mouscron means Anderlecht have earned just 1 point from the first possible 12 on offer on the road to date.
Indeed, Anderlecht have won just 3 of their last 17 matches away from home in the First Division A, but they have won their last two visits on the trot at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi, so they’ll be hoping they can make it three on the trot on Friday night.
Key-Facts – Sporting Charleroi v Anderlecht
- Sporting Charleroi have lost just 3 of their last 16 matches at home in the FDA

Betting Tips Verdict
Despite Anderlecht’s recent dominance over Sporting Charleroi, I’ll back the hosts with the draw no bet option here.
