Club Brugge vs Charleroi Prediction: Brugge have to step up their game

Jan Breydel Stadium was the venue for round 30 of the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Club Brugge and Charleroi. The two teams last game ended in a defeat. Which team returns to winning ways? Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions. 

Club Brugge

Club Brugge played Aston Villa last time out in the Champions League and lost. In a 3-0 contest, Ian Matseen and Marco Asensio's double was enough to see their opponent make it to the next round of the competition. However, Club Brugge's last league game was against Cercle Brugge and they won in a 1-3 contest. At home matches, Club Brugge have lost their last two games, won two and drawn two of their last five. With 56 points, Club Brugge sit second in the standings, scoring 61 goals and conceding 34.

Charleroi

Charleroi's last league game was against KV Mechelen and they lost. In a 0-1 contest, Benito Raman's strike in the first minute was the difference, good enough to see their opponent take maximum points. However, in recent matches, Charleroi's lone win was against Westerlo, a 1-3 contest on the road. In other contests, this team lost to Anderlecht while drawing Genk and Beerschot VA, games that ended in a similar 1-1 result. Heading into this game, Charleroi had 37 points, scored 34 goals and conceded 32 in 29 matches.

Therefore, with Charleroi still having a solid chance of making it to the championship group, I will back them to score here.
