The visiting Sporting Charleroi side should be favourites in this visit to Royal Excel Mouscron, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their six league games this season.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
