Sporting Charleroi will host Anderlecht at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side have had a largely positive campaign and are now making a late push for the championship round as they sit eighth in the table with 33 points from 25 matches.
They were held to a 1-1 draw by last-placed Beerschot in their last match, finding themselves a goal down at the break before Nikola Stulic leveled the scores from close range at the hour mark.
Anderlecht, meanwhile, have had their struggles in recent outings but remain on course to finish the regular season in the top six. They beat Royal Antwerp 2-0 last time out in the Pro League, with Kasper Dolberg scoring a quickfire second-half double to open his account for the year and secure the points for the Purple & White.
The visitors sit fourth in the league table with 42 points from 25 matches and will be targeting maximum points on the road this weekend.
