We are counting on Sporting Charleroi to pull off a win here. Sporting Charleroi have been in fine form in recent times. They have only lost one of their last seven games. They have also won three of those matches.
Oostende, on the other hand, are currently struggling for form. They are winless in their last nine league matches. They have also lost seven of those matches.
We expect goals in this match. Oostende have seen three or more goals in seven of their past 10 home matches. Sporting Charleroi have also seen three or more goals in eight of their past 10 away matches.
Also, six of the last 10 matches between the two teams have produced three or more goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this weekend.
Sporting Charleroi have an excellent form going into the match. Furthermore, Oostende have had a poor form going into the match including a winless run of nine league matches.
A victory for Charleroi at 2.20 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
For the second tip, over 2.5 goals at 1.70 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
