Charleroi vs Eupen Prediction: Bet on the hosts here

In Jupiler Pro League action, Charleroi and Eupen are set to face each other at Stade du Pays de Charleroi. Notably, their last five meetings have not resulted in a draw, and both teams will be eager to secure a victory in this upcoming match. Let's delve into the details of this fixture and make a prediction.

Charleroi will be aiming for an improved outcome after their 1-4 loss to Club Brugge in the First Division A. In that match, Charleroi had 52% possession and made 14 attempts at goal, with 5 on target. Antoine Bernier scored for Charleroi in the 94th minute. On the flip side, Club Brugge had 17 shots at goal, with 7 on target. Brandon Mechele (12'), Casper Nielsen (22'), and Igor Thiago (34', 54') were the scorers for Club Brugge. Charleroi has struggled defensively in recent games, with their defense breached in 5 of the last 6 matches, conceding a total of 13 goals in the process.

Eupen will enter this clash on the back of a 1-0 victory in the First Division A, defeating Antwerp in their last fixture. In that game, Eupen had 38% possession and registered 9 shots on goal, with 3 of them on target. Brandon Baiye (31') was the sole scorer for Eupen. Royal Antwerp had 15 shots at goal, with 2 on target. However, Eupen's forward players have struggled to find the net in their last 6 matches, contributing only 4 goals. During this period, Eupen has also conceded a total of 10 goals. It's worth noting that Eupen hasn't secured a victory against Charleroi in their last 2 away league games.

Based on my assessment, it appears that Charleroi is likely to create sufficient opportunities to score multiple goals and may also manage to keep Eupen from scoring. Consequently, I predict a home win in a match where both teams are expected to find the net.
