KV Mechelen vs Sporting Charleroi
Belgium Jupiler Pro League
Date: Friday, 6, Friday, 2024
Starts at 18pm UK / 00pm CET
Place AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne (Mechelen, Malines).

In the duel between KV Mechelen and Sporting Charleroi, from Belgium for the Pro League, both teams are looking for some momentum and consistency in the 2024/21 campaign.

Mechelen have not won in three, but will be glad to have beaten Club Brugge 2-2 out of form last week. Again, their overall form is poor as they have only won 2 out of 10 games this season, drawn 2 and lost 6. It's no surprise to see them ranked 15th in the 18-team table.

Charleroi are currently top of the record but only 1 point separates them from Standard Liege and the surprise package and newly promoted Beerschot's Team of the Season.

Last week, Karim Belhocine's side claimed a convincing 3-0 victory over Cercle Brugge and ended their 3-game winless streak, having lost consecutively to Genk and Liège after being stopped by Muscorn in a stalemate. .

Mechelen vs Charleroi Head to Head

Sporting are undefeated in their last 4 meetings with Mechelen, with 2 wins and 2 draws.

Also, they have only lost 1 of their last 11 h2h games, 7 wins and 3 draws.

Both teams have scored in their last three h2h games.

The corresponding encounter last season was a thrilling 2-2 draw.

Mechelen vs Charleroi Prediction

Despite the stark contrast in form, bookmakers are expecting a tight contest and Charleroi have a 2,30 chance of winning at the AFAS Stadium.

In my opinion they are overpriced as Mechelen have only won 1 of their 5 home games this season and lost 3.

Charleroi played well in defeats to Genk and Liege and got a big payoff against Cercle Brugge. Therefore, Friday is a good opportunity for bettors to bet on a strong team with high odds.

Goals are also expected in this match, as Charleroi have averaged 1,8 goals per game this season, while Mechelen, despite their poor form, have scored an average of 1,2. So btts and 2,5+ goals separately or in combination give us alternative options.

Mechelen v Charleroi betting tips

• Charleroi win at 2,30 odd

• Both teams score and over 2,5 goals at 1,95 odd.
