Sporting Charleroi vs KRC Genk Prediction and Betting Tips | February 23rd 2024

Fresh off the back of picking up their first Belgian Jupiler League win of the year, KRC Genk journey to the Stade du Pays de Charleroi to face Sporting Charleroi on Friday.

Felice Mazzu’s men have failed to win their last six games against the visitors and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.

Sporting Charleroi failed to move out of the Jupiler League relegation round places as they were held to a goalless draw by Oud-Heverlee Leuven last Saturday.

Mazzu’s side have now gone three consecutive games without a win, losing twice and claiming one draw since a 1-0 victory over Eupen on January 31.

With 25 points from 26 matches, Charleroi are currently 13th in the Jupiler League table, level on points with 12th-placed Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

Genk, on the other hand, finally got up and running in 2024 as they picked up a 3-1 victory over bottom-dwellers RWD Molenbeek last weekend.

Prior to that, Wouter Vrancken’s men failed to win their opening five league games of the year, claiming three draws and losing twice in that time.

Genk have picked up 40 points from 25 Jupiler League matches to sit seventh in the league table, level on points with sixth-placed Cercle Brugge.
