Sporting Charleroi - Mechelen betting tips and odds

Sporting Charleroi are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Mechelen may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

While Sporting Charleroi can’t exactly be happy with their 1:0 loss in the previous round, a narrow defeat after an undecided first half isn’t too bad. After all, they were considered hard underdogs and played as visitors against Sint-Truiden .

Mechelen are coming off from a decisive home victory against Standard Liège. At odds of 2.55 on a home win, few expected such a result – though Mechelen already established dominance in the first half.

Sporting Charleroi’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 8 times, which is not a great look.

Sporting Charleroi previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the Pro League and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 2.05.

Wednesday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.00. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
