Sporting Charleroi Prediction – Can Charleroi pick up where they left off?
Friday night’s hosts, Sporting Charleroi, sit in 10th place on the Belgian top flight ladder thanks to their resounding 4-0 win away at early strugglers, Waasland-Beveren, just before the international break, but the hosts will be looking to pick up where they left off on Friday night.
Sporting Charleroi have lost just 1 of their opening 5 matches of the new Belgian First Division A season which was a 3-1 loss away at Zulte-Waregem, but wins at home over Antwerp 2-1 and the aforementioned thrashing of Waasland-Beveren make Charleroi a tough proposal for visitors Genk on Friday night.
The hosts have lost just 2 of their last 8 matches overall in the Belgian top flight, while losing just 2 of their last 14 matches on home turf at their Stade du Pays de Charleroi, a sequence that includes 8 wins and 4 draws.
Although Genk have won 3 of the last 4 meetings against Sporting Charleroi, the hosts have lost just once in their last 4 at home against Genk, drawing 3 of the previous 4 meetings, so it would be advisable to keep the draw onside here.
Genk Prediction – Can Genk extend unbeaten run?
6th placed Genk made a shaky start to their new First Division A campaign as they were handed early back-to-back defeats against Mechelen and Zulte-Waregem, losing 3-1 and 2-0 respectively, but the visitors soon bounced back by recording back-to-back wins which has lifted them back up the table.
Recent wins against Waasland-Beveren 4-0 away and a 1-0 home win over Anderlecht set Genk back on track and they grabbed a decent point in a 1-1 draw away at Club Brugge just before the international break, so Genk will also be keen to keep their run going on Friday night in Charleroi.
With just 3 defeats out of their last 14 matches overall in the Belgian top flight, Genk are in reasonable shape too as they prepare to do battle with Sporting Charleroi, but results away from home have been less convincing in recent times.
Genk have picked up just 3 away wins out of their last 11 matches on the road which were at Standard Liege, Gent and Waasland-Beveren, but 4 defeats and 4 draws perhaps mean that Genk are by no means guaranteed of all three points here.
