Anderlecht vs Charleroi Prediction
Anderlecht would have been disappointed to see their unbeaten start to the season ended against Genk. They have an opportunity to bounce back immediately in front of their fans and have won six of the last seven head-to-head games, including the last three on the bounce.
Charleroi, for their part, have started the season impressively. They won their most recent league game and fans will be hoping the club breaks their trend of alternating between a win and a loss across their last five league games.
Draws have been a rare occurrence in this fixture, with none of the last nine games ending in a share of the spoils. We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
