Royal Antwerp, Recent FormRoyal Antwerp boss Mark van Bommel will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from Genk. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 3 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Genk who had 16 attempts and 8 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Great Old, although undefeated in their last 12 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Bosuilstadion, Michel-Ange Balikwisha will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Charleroi, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Mechelen in their last league game, Charleroi will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 34% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Mechelen's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Felice Mazzù will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. This season they have failed to score in 7 of their 10 away games and conceded at least one goal in 16 of their 20 games overall.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.
Parfait Guiagon has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Royal Antwerp.
Charleroi recorded a 3-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Antwerp have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Les Zèbres.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Charleroi has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Antwerp in 3 games.
Royal Antwerp 5 - 2 CharleroiAntwerp manager Mark van Bommel has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Björn Engels (Hamstring), Jacob Ondrejka (Unknown), Anthony Valencia (Broken foot) and Owen Wijndal (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Charleroi manager Felice Mazzù ahead of this clash, with Stefan Knežević (Unknown) missing out, which gives Mazzù a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
