Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Charleroi
Match Time & Date:
17 August 2025
17:30
Prediction: 1-1
Antwerp
Charleroi will be desperate to record their first win of the season when they take on Antwerp in the Jupiler League round 4. The Black and Whites failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to La Louviere at the weekend, but they are surely capable of matching Antwerp on home soil. Summer signings Antoine Colassin and Yassine Khalifi are both pushing for a start, while Serbian forward Nikola Stulic is back from suspension.
Stef Wils’ men, on the other hand, did well to beat Leuven 3-1 in their last league match, but with Charleroi being tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Japan midfielder Yuto Tsunashima is rated doubtful for the visiting team after limping off with injury in the last league match. Andreas Verstraeten is in line for a recall to the starting eleven.
Highlighted Team (Antwerp):
Founded back in 1880, Antwerp is one of the oldest clubs in Belgium. The Great Old welcome their rivals at Bosuilstadion, the venue with the capacity of 16,144 people. Antwerp are well known for their red home kits, with the team wearing white shirts and white jerseys when playing on the travels.
Over the years Antwerp have been trying to close the gap between Belgian giants Anderlecht and Club Brugge, but they have yet to win the title in the recent history. The Great Old clinched their first domestic trophy back in 1929, with the team repeating the success two years later. The third and the fourth titles came in 1944 and 1957 respectively.
Beerschot A.C. are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, but they have a rivalry with Club Brugge as well. The club chiefs had a long-term partnership with famous English club Manchester United in the past, with Antwerp taking young footballers on loan to Old Trafford.
