A high-scoring encounter is on the cards as Charleroi and Leuven meet in the opening round of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League. The hosts head into the new season after a spirited 3-2 defeat to Rayo Vallecano in their final preseason outing and are expected to stick to their attack-minded approach. Charleroi have strengthened their squad with the arrivals of Boubakar Dembaga, Adama Bojang, Severin Nioule, and Noah Solheid, hoping to build on a solid campaign. They have averaged 1.50 goals per game across their last 10 competitive matches and found the net in nine of those fixtures.
Leuven, meanwhile, have produced some thrilling encounters during preseason, drawing 4-4 with Heerenveen before suffering a 6-3 defeat to Lille. Those results highlighted both their attacking potential and defensive frailties. William Balikwisha has been in excellent form throughout the summer and will be the main danger for the visitors. However, Leuven have won just one of their last 10 competitive matches, conceding 2.00 goals per game during that spell.
Leuven's recent friendlies have been full of goals, and Charleroi also prefer an attacking approach. Therefore, Over 2.5 goals is our main betting tip for this Jupiler League matchup, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 3.5 goals.
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Sunday 9 August 2026 at 15:00.
