Antwerp host Charleroi at the Bosuilstadion with a clear gap between the two sides – the hosts sit 13th on 7 points after two wins, a draw and five defeats, while Charleroy sit third on 21 points, unbeaten in eight league games. The Belgian side have been prolific, scoring 16 goals and conceding just seven, compared with Antwerp’s modest 12‑20 tally.
