Two Pro League home games so far for Sporting Charleroi, who are yet to win here at Stade du Pays de Charleroi. Only 2 points so far. Charleroi are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row.

The home team returns to Stade du Pays de Charleroi after being equal after 90 minutes with Zulte-Waregem (placed 13th) on their last time out; the Pro League game ended 2-2. Stefan Knežević was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.62 out of 10. The defender Knežević won 7 of 9 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at OH Leuven that finished 1-1.

Beerschot-Wilrijk form and stats

The Pro League season is young and Beerschot-Wilrijk have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far. Three has not been a lucky number for Beerschot-Wilrijk as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Gent match.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Beerschot-Wilrijk, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Club Brugge (placed 2nd). The attacker Raphael Holzhauser got a match rating of 7.83 in that game. Holzhauser signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and had 48 successful passes (of 54 total).

A 0-1 loss hosting Standard Liège before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Beerschot-Wilrijk playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.

Beerschot-Wilrijk have the goal stats of 4-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
