Charleroi, Recent FormCharleroi will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their away fixture against Westerlo. In that game they had 39% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Westerlo who had 15 attempts and 3 on target.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 13 of their 14 played at Stade du Pays de Charleroi this season.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Stade du Pays de Charleroi, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
Cercle Brugge, Recent FormThe Cercle Brugge players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Mechelen recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Mechelen's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Kévin Denkey will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Charleroi in this match, having already scored 8 goals in his last 6 away games for Cercle Brugge.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Cercle Brugge that came out on top with a 2-0 win.
When playing at home against Groen en Zwart, Charleroi have scored at least one goal for 5 games in succession. We have seen plenty of goals from Les Zèbres when they play at home against Cercle. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
Cercle will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 5 times they've visited Charleroi in the league and not won this away fixture at Stade du Pays de Charleroi for 5 games in a row.
Charleroi manager Felice Mazzù has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ahmed Benbouali (Unknown), Stefan Knežević (Unknown), Jules Van Cleemput (Unknown) and Adem Zorgane (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Nils De Wilde (Unknown) and Thibo Somers (Concussion) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Miron Muslic will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
