Sporting Charleroi - Westerlo predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Westerlo are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Sporting Charleroi should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The visiting team knows that beating Sporting Charleroi on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Sporting Charleroi were not exactly the favourites to claim all three points from their last away game in the Pro League. However, their fans sure hoped a surprise would be possible, especially after an even first 45 minutes. In the end, the supporters will have been left disappointed by the heavy Standard Liège defeat.

Westerlo are coming off from a narrow home loss in their previous match against Genk. The away team secured an early lead and carried it into a 0:1 triumph. Considering the 3.44 on Westerlo winning, though, it’s hard to be surprised.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Sporting Charleroi will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Sporting Charleroi secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
