Dender - Sporting Charleroi predictions

Dender have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 3.29 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 2.17 betting odds to win, Sporting Charleroi have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

Dender’s previous away game at Anderlecht ended as a 1:1 draw – which isn’t too bad for them. The odds were against them from the get-go, and they were behind during half-time.

Sporting Charleroi’s previous round was a home match against Club Brugge which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.93 odds on a home win.

The first step Dender need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Our confidence that Sporting Charleroi will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Joedrick Pupe, A. Yahaha, Michaël Lallemand have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at Dender,

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.50 with William Hill, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
