Westerlo - Sporting Charleroi predictions

Though Westerlo are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The away team’s chances of winning this Friday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Westerlo, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Westerlo lost their previous Pro League game against Sint-Truiden , but they did so as clear underdogs. They played as visitors against considerably stronger opposition, who secured an early lead which lead into a narrow 1:0 loss for Westerlo.

Sporting Charleroi’s narrow 0:1 loss at home against Genk in the previous round was quite predictable, considering online sportsbooks priced a home win at 3.70.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. Westerlo conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Het Kuipje.

Sporting Charleroi’s past two matches featured less than 2 goals. As such, going for markets such as Over 2.5 or Both Teams to Score is not recommended.

Despite the 2.08 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against Sporting Charleroi. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

Friday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.80 if you use the William Hill sportsbook.
