The Pro League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Sporting Charleroi and Antwerp are placed 1st and 8th respectively.
Sporting Charleroi and Antwerp should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
