After a 2-3 First Division A victory over KVC Westerlo, Charleroi will be hoping for more of the same, buoyed by their previous performance. Charleroi had 48 percent possession in that match and made 12 shots on goal, 5 of which were successful. Vakoun Issouf Bayo (35′), Daan Heymans (39′), and Youssouph Badji (92′) all scored goals for Charleroi. Westerlo, on the other hand, made 16 shots on goal, seven of which were successful. KVC Westerlo received goals from Mathias Fixelles (8′) and Tuur Dierckx (89′).
Here, SV Zulte Waregem will try to make amends. SV Zulte Waregem had 34 percent possession and seven attempts on goal, three of which were successful. On the opposite side, Imperial Antwerp had 13 shots at objective with 5 on track. Antwerp’s goal was scored by Toby Alderweireld (85′, 89′). SV Zulte Waregem have not always performed well at the back.
Prediction
We believe that Charleroi will likely be able to make a lot of chances and hit the target with a lot of success. SV Zulte Waregem, on the other hand, may struggle to get any opportunities to shoot, though we do believe that they will probably score here. At the end of the first half, Charleroi is our bet to win 3-1.

Team News
Charleroi manager Felice Mazzù is without Nikola Stulic (ankle injury), Ryota Morioka (bruised rib), Nadhir Benbouali (rupture of the cruciate ligament), Jules Van Cleemput (muscle partial avulsion), and Mehdi Boukamir (knock). Hosseinzadeh may be selected by Les Zèbres for the match.
Frederik D’Hollander, manager of SV Zulte Waregem, is concerned about some of the players’ current fitness. Sef Van Damme (Obscure Injury), Kevor Palumets (Foot Injury), Martijn Beernaert (Obscure Injury) and Wout De Buyser (Thump) can’t play. Due to his suspension, Timothy Derijck will not be able to participate in this game.
We think that Louis Bostyn, Karol Fila, Borja López, Lukas Willen, Christian Brüls, Nicolas Rommens, Novatus Miroshi, Alieu Fadera, Jelle Vossen, Ruud Vormer, and Alioune Ndour will choose a 3-4-1-2 system.
