Waasland-Beveren vs Sporting Charleroi
Belgium First Division A
Date: Saturday, 22nd September 2018
Kick-off at 17:00 UK/ 18:00 CET
Freethiel Stadion, Beveren.
Nothing seems to be working for Waasland-Beveren as they are left without a win after 7 matches in the 2018/19 season.
They team bagged 4 points so far and stay third from bottom on the log. The points are courtesy of stalemates out of which 3 came from as many games at home so far this season.
Head-coach Sven Vermant is under some pressure as he prepare the team to welcome Sporting Charleroi this Friday.
Charleroi were brilliant last season and ended up finishing fifth on the log. However, their start to the new season is underwhelming with the team bagging 7 points from 7 games so far.
Yet, we are seeing some improved performances from the city of city of Charleroi as they bagged a 3-1 win against Royal Excel before holding Standard Liège to a goal-less stalemate last week.
It is pretty evident that Sporting Charleroi are the team in better form at this point of time.
On the other hand, Waasland-Beveren had struggled for goals this season and their defense is not helping either.
Under the circumstances, Charleroi walk into this game as favorites to snick vital three points, also considering how the past four h2h meetings at Waasland-Beveren had panned out.
