Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Cercle Brugge will aim to build on a thrilling 3-1 victory over Union St Gilloise when they welcome Charleroi to the Jan Breydel Stadium this Sunday. With confidence high following their triumph over one of the league's powerhouse, Cercle Brugge look well-placed to secure another home win. Charleroi, in contrast, are struggling; they’ve lost four consecutive matches across all competitions, raising doubts on their current form.
Their recent Belgian Cup defeat to Patro Eisden, a lower-division side, added further disappointment, and head coach Felice Mazzù will be eager to turn things around. However, their task appears challenging, especially with Mohamed Kone sidelined due to injury. Cercle Brugge, meanwhile, boast a full-strength squad and are likely to capitalize on their visitor’s woes. We predict a determined performance from the hosts, who will be looking to take advantage of Charleroi's shaky defence and secure a second consecutive league win.
