Charleroi vs Anderlecht Prediction & Betting tips
On Friday evening, October 4, the Stade du Pays de Charleroi will have an interesting competition. Their Charleroi team will face RSC Anderlecht. The home team is not immediately where they want to be but are on the right track towards the top six. While Anderlecht can be found at the bottom of the rankings and certainly not where it would be. Every week the pressure increases with Purple and White and it gradually becomes laughable. When will they take another three points? Will it succeed next Friday?
Sporting Charleroi:
Karim Belhocine is doing well with his Charleroi. It was already clear at Kortrijk and Anderlecht that he had and could do something with the coaching position, but he never really came through as T1. This time it is and he proves that he can do it. Despite Charleroi having to go through another renewal, after nine match days (eight games), the club is in ninth place with twelve points and, if the match made up, it can be in the top six. Last week it played the Walloon derby in and against Standard.
Winning in the Walloon derby against Charleroi and jumping over Club Brugge back to the lead. That was Standard’s goal and the home team immediately showed those intentions. In the field game anyway, because Standard had a clear superiority there. Creating opportunities was another story. Then Charleroi was a lot more threatening. Fall in particular brought Standard defense into trouble with his speed, but Bruno and Nicholson also took their chance. Standard was unable to come up with a combination, although the many violations of Charleroi were also among them. Only five minutes before half-time the home team got the ball between the posts. Penneteau needed an excellent rescue on a far-off shot from Vojvoda. In the extra time, Morioka beat the same Vojvoda on a cross by Diandy and the Japanese headed the ball. Thanks to a push error, referee Van Driessche judged, but after viewing the images, he approved the goal. Not Standard, but Charleroi came out the best in the dressing room. Nurio immediately came close to the 0-2, Bodart kept the home team going. Standard realized that things had to be done and systematically increased the pressure with attempts by Lestienne, Avenatti and Carcela. Standard really came close to the equalizer on the hour. Avenatti worked a corner kick with his shoulder as far as Vanheusden and he headed close up on the crossbar. Standard was the boss, but the 0-1 remained on the scoreboard. It almost even became 0-2, but Fall wound a giant chance. A final offensive with the input of Amalah and Boljevic had to bring relief to Standard. Yet for home supporters it was nail biting until the 90th minute. With a free kick, Mpoku brought Standard alongside. On the field Ilaimaharitra ran into his second yellow card, in the stands the Charleroi supporters battled with firecrackers and flares. Ref Van Driessche stopped the game twice, but unlike the Limburg derby, the game was played out. There was no more score.
The late equalizer naturally caused a sour aftertaste at Charleroi: “A draw here is normally a good result. But if you create so many opportunities and then swallow the equalizer at the end, it is sour. We wanted to put Standard in trouble That went well with three to four pure chances and our goal. We crawled back too much in the second half, and it is extra acid that we swallow the goal against a stagnant phase. that is important. This team works hard, it would have been nice if they had been rewarded a little more for that. ”
RSC Anderlecht:
It is no longer necessary to discuss that Purple-White does not work. The facts are rock hard and that is that after almost one third of the regular competition they could only win once and only score six times. It ensures that it only manages to separate them three points from the last in the stand, Cercle Brugge. Eupen and Waasland-Beveren still fall in between. The latter was the visiting opponent in Lotto Park last week.
Lots of ball possession, few chances. That was usually the story of Anderlecht this season so far. Against Waasland-Beveren, things had to change at last, because after the five out of twenty-four, only a home win was good enough. But Anderlecht was also sick in the same bed against the red lantern. The home team happily tapped the ball around again, but there was not much depth. It was even a shock for the home crowd when Badibanga created danger with a free kick. Anderlecht only got one really good chance and then there was a good dose of luck involved. A cross from Chadli deviated from the shin of Caufriez, but Verschaeren also did not hit the ball well enough to open the score. The Purple & White did not get much closer to the 1-0. The unbridled positivism of the Anderlecht fans turned into booing for the first time. Anderlecht came out of the dressing room a lot sharper. Nasri immediately had a huge chance of giving up Sambi Lokonga, but Jackers was able to parry his weak shot. Sambi Lokonga continued to scatter with good passes and also narrowly aimed for a free kick. The 1-0 was in the air, but the Purple & White were not happy. After a nice cross by Nasri, Luckassen’s header hit the crossbar. Nasri showed another flash of his class with a push-through pass on Chadli, but the Red Devil did not get the ball past Jackers. When Nasri tried it himself just past the hour, his long shot sailed just over. With Roofe the vacant position of striker has finally been filled at Anderlecht, but the Brit clearly still has a way to go. After a clever combination of Sandler and Nasri, he had the 1-0 at his foot, but he reacted too slowly and let the cheese eat off the bread. The home team didn’t get any closer to a goal. Substitute Thelin also couldn’t make the difference this time.
Coach Simon Davies was again quite positive, despite the fact that there was still a lot of crisis: “We didn’t take advantage of our chances. Today we defended a lot better on stagnant phases. We had to make progress there and we did that. We checked the match and we had three chances played out, and we hit the bar too. We are not happy at the moment, defensively, and we have created chances. It is very frustrating that we did not take advantage of one chance. that the pace had to go up and that was also the case after the break. Some fans were frustrated and angry, that is normal. They have supported us so far fantastic and they can express their frustration when we disappoint them. ”
