Kortrijk - Sporting Charleroi predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Kortrijk will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Sporting Charleroi.

Sporting Charleroi have their work cut out for them this Sunday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.49 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

It’s fair to say Kortrijk demonstrated their character in the last Pro League clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (AS Eupen).

Last round was rather disappointing for Sporting Charleroi, who were favourites in a home game against RWDM. Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their Sporting Charleroi’s ability to press the advantage. In the end, a 0:0 draw was nothing to be proud about.

After recording more than 5 concessions in the previous 3 home games alone, confidence in Kortrijk and their ability to bank on home-field advantage is shaky.

Sporting Charleroi tend to play rather passively even at home. For instance, they are heading into the Sunday game after two home games that featured fewer than 2 goals on both sides.

Despite their position as favourites, Sporting Charleroi already lost this matchup earlier in the season. This bit of information shines a new light on the 2.49 odds which most bookies are offering for their victory.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Jules Van Cleemput, Isaac Mbenza, Ahmed Nadir Benbouali due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Djibi Seck, Haruya Fujii, Ryotaro Tsunoda have also reported injuries.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.91.
