Gent will welcome Sporting Charleroi to KAA Gent Arena for a Jupiler League round 30 clash on Sunday.

The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Royal Union last weekend. Second-half goals from Pieter Gerkens and Alessio Castro-Montes ensured that the two sides canceled each other out.

Charleroi, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a goalless draw at home to Cercle Brugge despite playing for 50 minutes with 10 men.

The draw left them in 12th spot, having garnered 29 points from as many games. Gent are eighth with 44 points to their name.

Gent vs Charleroi Prediction

Gent have had a horrible run of form in recent months which has seen them fall out of the top six. They are one point behind the Championship playoff spots and a win here could take them back to where they ostensibly should be. The Buffaloes have been defensively susceptible and their opponents tend to be given opportunities in front of goal.

Charleroi, by contrast, sit just outside the relegation zone, with just three points separating them from the bottom four. The Zebras are unbeaten on their last three visits to this stadium, winning two and drawing once.

Games between these two sides tend to be high-scoring affairs and we are backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Gent 2-1 Charleroi
