Home - Union St.-Gilloise
- Union St.-Gilloise are the runaway leaders in First Division A after 10 games and have been virtually impenetrable at home, winning all four games without conceding a goal.
- They typically line up in either a 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 formation, which allows them to press high up the field and get their wing backs forward.
- Kevin Rodriguez leads the line with four goals in nine league games.
- Union have added some real firepower recently in the form of Promise David, who has three goals in his last five games.
Away - Royal Charleroi SC
- Royal Charleroi SC have won two, drawn one and lost two of their five away league matches this term.
- Royal Charleroi are in a bit of a rut right now, having lost three in a row, including back-to-back home defeats and a 2-1 defeat to Gent on their last away trip.
- Rik De Mil took over as manager in March 2024 and has implemented a very modern approach, sometimes playing with a back three and sometimes a back four, but always with a high-tempo game, wide play and an urge to proactively press the opposition.
Head-to-Head
Union have won all three of the last encounters, including a 2-1 victory at Charleroi nine months ago. This record strongly influences our Union St.-Gilloise vs Royal Charleroi SC prediction.

Betting Insights
- The hosts are very short at 1.4 to win this and the visitors are long shots at 7.5, but we feel that the both teams to score bet at 1.77 is the best bet here. Furthermore, our Union St.-Gilloise vs Royal Charleroi SC betting tips suggest this could be a closer match than the odds imply.
- Union are the favorites here but their form is not as strong as their odds suggest, as they have won three and lost two of their last five in all competitions, so the Union St.-Gilloise vs Royal Charleroi SC betting tips may favor exploring value in alternative markets.
Prediction
We think Union will win this one and add to their excellent home record, although Charleroi have scored seven goals in five league trips and should create enough to at least get on the board.
