Sporting Charleroi have a chance to go top of the standings with a win here and they can’t afford to disappoint. The previous weekend against Westerlo, this team settled for a 2-2 draw as a last-minute Griffin Yow denied them maximum points. In the meantime, Sporting Charleroi have won only one of their last six matches, which was against Standard Liège. Ahead of this game, Sporting Charleroi have scored three goals in three goals in this Conference Playoff group.
Sporting Charleroi Lineup
After an impressive performance against Westerlo last weekend, I do not expect Rik De Mil to make any changes to his side from last weekend. Nikola Stulic is expected to lead the lead in this game after a goal and one assist last weekend.
On the injury list are Yassine Titraoui and Parfait Guiagon for this side out of the four unavailable for this game.
🔖 Sporting Charleroi’s’ Predicted XI (4-3-3):
Martin Delavalee, Stelios Andreou, Massamba Sow, Jeremy Petris, Vetle Dragsnes, Etienne Camara, Adem Zorgane, Antonie Bernier, Daan Heymans, Isaac Mbenza, Nikola Stulic
⛔️Unavailable: Yassine Titraoui, Parfait Guiagon, Théo Defourny, Aiham Ousou (all injured)
👤 Head Coach: Rik De Mil
KV Mechelen: Form and Statistics
KV Mechelen's last league game was against Leuven and this team could only take a point. Despite having a 57 per cent control of the possession and creating six shots on target, they could only convert one, thanks to Lion Lauberbach’s brilliance. In the meantime, KV Mechelen head into this game with an unbeaten run of five matches. In that run, KV Mechelen picked up wins over Dender and Charleroi. Ahead of this game, KV Mechelen sit top of the standings with 24 points, eight goals scored and five conceded.

KV Mechelen Lineup
With a number of injury concerns for Frédéric Vanderbiest, I feel the Belgian could decide to go with the same starting eleven from the one against Leuven. However, Geoffrey Hairemans could be back to the attacking line after a poor performance from Kerim Mrabti last weekend. A
The injury concerns for this game still remain the same as the list in the last three matches. Julien Ngoy, Ahmed Touba, Daam Foulon, and Zinho Vanheusden are the exceptions from this squad who will not be travelling with the squad.
