Match Preview
As OC Charleroi prepares to host KSC Lokeren in the Challenger Pro League, both teams are in desperate need of points to improve their standings. Charleroi's recent form has been concerning, with only one point from their last five matches (LLDDL), highlighting their struggles in both defence and attack. Conversely, Lokeren has shown slight improvement, managing a win in their last outing, but they still sit at the bottom of the table with four consecutive losses prior to that.
A key angle to consider is Charleroi's home advantage at Stade de la Neuville. Historically, they have dominated this fixture, winning the last ten encounters without conceding a goal. This trend could play a significant role in boosting Charleroi's confidence, especially against a Lokeren side that has struggled to find the back of the net. With both teams eager to turn their fortunes around, this match could be pivotal in shaping their respective campaigns. Expect a tightly contested affair, with Charleroi likely to edge it if they can harness their home support effectively.
