- Both Teams To Score - Yes looks like a lean wager at 1.62, but it's also not a great price, which suggests that this could be a cagey match.
Our call
- So this looks set to be a tight game, but we're taking the away team to take all 3 points for the following reasons: The hosts have won three and lost two of their last five, while they come into this one off the back of a two-game losing streak.
- However, Royal Charleroi SC come into this matchup with a good run of form, picking up four wins from their last five matches and winning their previous two games.
