They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Anderlecht defeat 117 days ago. Sporting Charleroi has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stade du Pays de Charleroi. We remember; it was Anderlecht.

An away draw last time out for Sporting Charleroi, facing AS Eupen in a game that ended 1-1. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Royal Excel Mouscron the opponent.

Club Brugge form and stats

Club Brugge, who have the most scored goals (50) in Pro League, have an excellent away record in the Pro League so far with 8-2-1 from 11 games.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Kortrijk (placed 12th) in their previous outing. The Pro League match ended in a draw 2-2. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Zulte-Waregem.

Drawing 2-2 against Kortrijk after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager P. Clement needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

After this away game Club Brugge return home for a Pro League game against Antwerp. That game is only four sleeps after this.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Club Brugge are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Club Brugge as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Sporting Charleroi won 2, Club Brugge won 6 and 2 draws. 8 games with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.
