Charleroi vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting tips
A weekend with the semi-finals of the cup means a weekend off for many teams. However, this is used to finish delayed covid parties. Can Charleroi grab a last straw in the battle for play-off 1?
Sporting Charleroi:
It is anything but good for the Zebras. Despite a furious start in the summer, they are only in tenth place in the standings and they got stuck in their own house on a scoreless draw against low flyer STVV. It was a match between two teams in which the fear of losing was clearly greater than the urge to win.
Both teams created little goal danger in the opening quarter of the game. There were no big chances in a desolate first half in which both teams did not create a single completed chance. Sint-Truiden looks best out of the dressing room. On the hour STVV lost their top scorer Suzuki, who seemed to have to leave injured. In the added time, Charleroi with Ilaimaharitra still had the chance to win with a free kick from the edge of the box, but he decided the ball just over the goal. Both teams will have to improve their level in the coming weeks if they still want to achieve their goals.
A few days before Club Brugge arrives, there is some bad news at Charleroi. Cristian Benavente will be out of action for a few days. The club announced the news itself on its website. “Cristian Benavente is out with a serious ankle sprain. He will be absent for a few days. The medical staff monitors his return on a daily basis. “Charleroi is not going to use the purchase option in the Benavente lease. It would be too expensive.
Club Brugge:
Friday to Charleroi and Monday to Ghelamco Arena. Club Brugge stands for a busy, but also important weekend. The question is mainly about Bas Dost. Blue-black can use the Dutch goal getter all too well. Dost is recovering from a hamstring injury, but healing is progressing well. He may be available on Monday. On Wednesday, corona tests will also be taken at Club Brugge. There they hope that Charles De Ketelaere and Ethan Horvath test negative and can rejoin the group of players. Whether Philippe Clement immediately throws him into the starting team against Charleroi is very much the question. If the corona test is negative, De Ketelaere will probably also show up against AA Gent.
At Club Brugge they already look beyond their nose. Various plans for the future are gradually coming closer. Odilon Kossounou has made quite an impression at Club Brugge in recent months, in the meantime they are already thinking about his possible successor. They could find them again at Cayor Foot. According to various French and African media, Club Brugge is interested in Ceesay, although there is the necessary competition for the 19-year-old Gambian central defender. Toulouse, Metz, Troyes and Sochaux have also signed up for Edrissa Ceesay. Wondering who can bring it in.
After a few difficult weeks, Club Brugge was a few buddies too strong for Zulte Waregem on Sunday and it is heading for a new national title. The young Daniel Perez was allowed to collect minutes for the first time in the main force of Club Brugge. The Venezuelan was therefore given an hour to prove himself and afterwards was also visibly happy with the opportunity he got from the technical staff: “I am grateful that I was able to make my competition debut in Belgium,” it said via Twitter. He was previously allowed to enter the cup.
