Charleroi vs Cercle Brugge KSV Match Preview

The match between Charleroi and Beveren was postponed, as most of Beveren's players were tested positive for Covid-19. Charleroi comes from a three-game winless streak, firstly they drew 1-1 against Mouscron followed by two defeats, 1-2 to Standard Liege and 2-1 to Genk on the road. In the meantime, they were disqualified from the Europa League competition after their 1-2 defeat to Lech Poznan.

Both defender I. Goranov and striker L. Teodorczyk will miss tonight's game against Cercle Brugge, as well as midfielders C. Diandy and M. Brun who haven't performed yet since the beginning of the season.

Last weekend, Cercle Brugge's match was also postponed for the same reason, as 13 players of their opponents were tested positive for Covid-19. In the previous round, they prevailed over Gandi 5-2, in a match where they had their best performance since the beginning of the season. Having a total of 15 points after 9 rounds in the league they are placed 9th, which is really good for them if we consider the fact that they were relegation favorites this season.

Goalkeeper T. Didillon is unavailable for today's game as well as the experienced midfielder, J. Taravel.

Charleroi will try to return to winning ways today in order to maintain their spot in the top-three of the standings. However, the offered odds are very low for a team that hasn't won a single match for about one and a half months. On the other hand, Cercle Brugge comes from a great streak of 3 wins in their last 4 games, actually, their only defeat was on the road against champions Club Brugge.

I am willing to risk here picking Cercle Brugge to win, the offered odds for the away win are massive, 6.50 with bet365.
