📋 Team News: Charleroi

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Charleroi gaffer Hans Cornelis to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group. Théo Defourny (unknown injury) is sidelined. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Étienne Camara and Yassine Titraoui.

📰 Team News: Standard Liège

Standard Liège manager Vincent Euvrard has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Boli Bolingoli (Partial muscle tear), Mohammed El Hankouri (Muscle injury), Marlon Fossey (Partial muscle tear), Ibrahim Karamoko (Shoulder injury), Alexandro Calut (Torn muscle bundle) and Josué Homawoo (Partial muscle tear) are not ready for selection. Timothé Nkada will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

✨ Prediction

For this match, we think that Charleroi will probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

At the same time, Standard Liège are also probably going to find it difficult finding the net themselves but do we see them getting enough chances to score, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Charleroi at full-time.
