Charleroi vs KV Mechelen Match Preview

Charleroi is ranked at the 4th place with 44 points and comes in a decent run, after two wins, two draws and a loss over the last five matches. It seems they will be able to finish in the Championship group considering their past results and how the teams behind them are doing.

At home they have had very good performances winning in eight out of 12 games and scoring 22 goals, averaging almost two goals per game. They are also riding an eight-game unbeaten streak in front of their fans in all competitions where they got seven wins and a draw. Only in that 0-0 draw against league leaders Club Brugge they failed to score.

KV Mechelen, on the other hand, is ranked at the 8th place with 34 points and currently sits out of the Championship group. They have won two of the last five games, but losing three in a row over the last three they played, made them drop in ranks and sit three points behind Genk of the 6th spot.

They lost against St. Liege and Gent which are superior teams to them, but their last loss against a poor team like Cercle Burgge KSV surely surprised everyone and they will need to turn things around quickly, if they want to hope for securing a spot in the top six. They have shown a good offensive side with 35 goals, having the second best attack from the teams in the Europa League group.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score a goal here. Charleroi at home has proven many times this season they are a tough team to break and I expect them to pull off another performance like the previous ones. KV Mechelen is also in desperate need for points, so I think we will see a motivated team to do well and earn points so they will have to attack.
