KVC Westerlo – Charleroi

KVC Westerlo will host Charleroi at Het Kuipje with a clear points gap separating the two sides – the hosts sit sixth with 13 points from four wins, one draw and three losses, while Charleroi sit third on 21 points after an unbeaten run of seven victories and a single defeat. Westerlo’s modest goal difference of +3 (20‑17) contrasts with Charleroi’s superior +9 (16‑7), underscoring the defensive solidity the visitors have displayed. The last encounter between the clubs has favoured the higher‑placed Charleroi, and they will look to extend that advantage as they chase a top‑four finish. Westerlo, however, will be eager to close the six‑point gap and climb the table with a win on home turf.
