Sporting Charleroi will host Anderlecht at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the league of late and currently find themselves in the relegation zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Kortrijk in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
Sporting Charleroi sit 13th in the league table with just 24 points picked so far. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
Anderlecht meanwhile have performed well this season and now have their sights set on a return to continental football. They beat Gent 1-0 in their last match, with Denmark international Anders Dreyer scoring the sole goal of the game from the spot just before the interval.
The visitors sit second in the table with 45 points from 23 games. They are four points above third-placed Club Brugge and will be looking to further widen that gap on Sunday.
