Charleroi vs Leuven: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from "Stade du Pays de Charleroi" saved their season last year: they finished in seventh place and beat Antwerp in the playoff for the right to play in the Conference League. There, however, they immediately lost to Hammarby. In the new season, they finished the first part in eleventh position with 34 points from 30 matches. However, they have shown noticeable improvement in the spring. They even beat Antwerp again, but lost to Westerlo in the last round.
Oud-Heverlee was also playing in the mid-table group last year, finishing last after virtually giving up in the spring. The story is repeating itself now: they have collected the same number of points as their current opponent and, after avoiding the relegation battle, have lost many games. This includes a loss to Standard, but they suddenly thrashed Antwerp 3-0.
Van den Kerkhof and his teammates, with an average of 1.24 goals scored, concede 1.29 per match. OHL scores 1.05 goals per game and concedes one and a half times more, 1.5 per match.
