Oostende, Recent FormOostende will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Zulte Waregem, which ran out a 1-1 draw. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 5 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Zulte Waregem managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Despite scoring 5 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 12 goals in that same period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games.
Oostende will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Diaz Arena, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Goalscorer Fraser Hornby will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Oostende.
Charleroi, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Charleroi managed a remarkable 3-0 home win against RFC Seraing. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against RFC Seraing's tally of 2 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Felice Mazzù will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Zèbres, having been undefeated in their last 4 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
On an individual basis, Vakoun Bayo will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 6 goals in Charleroi's last 6 league games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Charleroi, losing 1-3 to Oostende.
Les Zèbres will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Oostende having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 10 meetings. Playing away from home, Charleroi have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Oostende. When Charleroi visit De Kustboys in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
With only Maxime D'Arpino (Unknown) and Robbie D'Haese (Foot) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Dominik Thalhammer will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Charleroi manager Felice Mazzù ahead of this clash, with Ahmed Benbouali (Unknown) missing out, which gives Mazzù a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
