Charleroi vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting tips
Top game in the Jupiler League: The formidable hosts from Charleroi await the sovereign leaders from Bruges. The guests lost only once after 22 game rounds. In the table, the runner-up from Ghent is also distanced with eight points, and this in one game less.
The latter point resulted from the postponement of the game against the upcoming opponent, due to scheduling difficulties of the FCB, which is known to operate on the international stage. In the upcoming catch-up game, the runner-up now faces one of the most difficult tasks in the top Belgian league.
The home side have not lost a league game since the beginning of October. Instead, eight wins were won and the points shared four times. In the last home game last weekend against promoted Mechelen, the team was again 1-0 in the front before the referee stopped the game due to fog.
Thanks to the extraordinary series, the Walloons climbed upwards in the tableau. The soaring flight has temporarily brought fifth place. If there were two games less, second place would be awarded in the event of success! For the encounter between Charleroi and Bruges, the forecast includes a goal celebration on both sides.
The Walloons are extra strong against a home backdrop. The youngest six games in the league and cup were won in front of their own backdrop at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi – all without conceding a goal. However, the guests have the strongest offensive in the Jupiler League and have always scored at least once in their guest appearances.
From this point of view, another “clean sheet” on the part of the zebras is not to be expected this time. The Charleroi vs. Bruges tip is played with six units.
Charleroi:
The Carolos finished ninth in the current season. Together with 2014, this was the second worst performance after the resurgence nine years ago. At the moment things are going much better again.
The positive development of the past few months was not necessarily to be expected. After all, last summer Charleroi had lost his best striker to the mastiffs from Lille with Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian has long proven in the neighboring country that he can also compete in a more demanding league. With ten goals, he is currently the fourth best scorer in Ligue 1! However, the striker’s departure was obviously coped with well. Instead of a top striker, Charleroi now relies on a group of powerful players, which makes the attacking department less predictable.
Positive appearances include the Senegalese Mamadou case, which hit in the last three league games, or Iranian Kaveh Rezaei, who is on loan from the upcoming opponent and will therefore be particularly motivated. The 27-year-old international of his country scored in eight of 16 league appearances.
With this great balance, he leads the internal club evaluation. In the encounter between Charleroi and Bruges, the odds for his next strike are, in our opinion, also linked to value.
Even form waste from individual players, such as in the case of the Japanese Ryota Morioka, who broke last after a great start to the season with six goals after ten appearances and has not scored since 13 competitive games, are doing very well with the runners-up from 1969 in these weeks due to otherwise closed team performances collected.
Bruges:
After the crash of the master from Genk, there will be no way around Club Brugge this year regarding the question of the next title holder. The Flemish present themselves extremely consistently in the Jupiler League.
After last year’s runner-up championship, the hunger for triumph in national league operations is again very pronounced. Coach Philippe Clement, who was recruited by the Genk champion, can rely on his defensive and offensive team members alike.
With 50 goals, the kickers from Grachtenstadt have the best goals. The defense has in turn only allowed eleven goals in 22 league games – just as clear top value in the top floor of Belgian football. Only Antwerp has been able to defeat the blue-blacks so far. In addition to the comfortable location in the Jupiler League, Bruges also achieved third place in its group in the Champions League, which means that the Belgians are still represented in the Europa League.
Although the FCB also had to let some important players go in the past summer, such as the deserving Brazilian striker Wesley to Aston Villa or Dutch left wing Arnaut Danjuma to the Cherries from Bournemouth, the squad remains strong for the domestic league.
Thanks to the income from the Champions League, in which Bruges was recently represented regularly, the financial opportunities for the 15-time Belgian champions are comparatively rosy. Newcomers such as Simon Mignolet from the Reds from Liverpool for the goalkeeper position can otherwise hardly afford any other representatives in the chronically clammy league.
