Match summary

Royal Antwerp vs Sporting Charleroi comes to the Bosuilstadion on Saturday 24 October 2026 for Matchday 9 of the Belgian Pro League, and our model leans to a Charleroi win, with the double chance ruling out a draw.

Why this pick?

Sitting third with seven wins from eight, Charleroi come out stronger on our model's long-run strength rating, which places them above the average of the division. The counterweight is home advantage at the Bosuilstadion. What undercuts it is how little Antwerp have been building: over their last five matches they create distinctly fewer clear chances than most sides and get into the opposition box less often, while conceding shots and big chances at a clearly higher rate. Charleroi, for their part, give up fewer clear openings than the norm and have won four of the last five meetings, so the call is moderate rather than clear.
