At the Stade Joseph Marien, the home team, Union Saint-Gilloise, will take on the visiting Charleroi.

The Royale Union will be looking to return to their form from the previous season. Charleroi, who currently stands atop the league this season, will be looking to preserve their momentum. This should make for an exciting match, which is what we hope for.

Following a season in which they achieved a sixth-place finish, it is understandable that the away team is looking forward to one in which they have a chance to win the trophy. Even if it is still early, they will need to win against the defending champions, who prevailed over them twice during the previous campaign, to maintain this hope. We anticipate Charleroi to pull off an upset against the host squad, who does not appear to have yet found its form.

Since Charleroi seems to be in good shape after winning a crucial first game, we should expect a close match.
