Mechelen - Sporting Charleroi predictions

Mechelen have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Sporting Charleroi. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.50.

In the previous round of the Pro League, Mechelen lost to Standard Liège in a mild upset, right here at the AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne. Although the odds at top online sportsbooks pointed at them as the favourites, it seems home-field support wasn’t enough to spur them to break the stalemate of the first half. They fell behind instead, resulting in the 0:1 defeat.

Sporting Charleroi’s latest home game performance was fairly dull, and it didn’t show them in a great light. That particular bout against La Louvière produced no winners in either half of the match, resulting in a 0:0 draw.

The home team is here on the back of two consecutive matches in which fewer than 2 goals were scored in total. That’s not the kind of trend you want to be on, though it does display a kind of consistency.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Sporting Charleroi. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Mechelen already succeeded in surprising everyone with an impressive victory this season. They defeated Sporting Charleroi in the Pro League despite being considered underdogs in a spectacular finish earlier in the campaign.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

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 1.98. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
