I will take a look at the preview of this game in the following sections and offer free betting opportunities.

Dender: Form and Statistics

Dender qualification possibilities into the Conference playoffs remain uncertain and the home team will come into this game having to prove a point. In their last matches, this team has won only one game, coming against Westerlo in their first game in this group, which ended 1-0, thanks to an own goal by Bryan Reynolds.

However, since their victory, Dender have failed to show character, failing to pick up a single win. While they lost to KV Mechelen in a 5-2 disappointing display, this team did well to hold both Standard Liège and Leuven to a draw. Ahead of this game, Dender sits bottom of the Conference League group standings with 21 points, scoring eight and conceding ten.

Dender Team News and Lineup

Vincent Euvrard will have a lot to worry about ahead of this game, as he has crucial players out for this game. Ragnar Oratmangoen will be missing this game after Euvrard confirmed he has an infection. However, there are four injured players on the list, which includes Karol Fila and Noah Mbamba.

🔖 Expected Lineup (4-3-1-2):

Martin Delavallée (GK), Jeremy Petris, Stelios Andreou, Massamba Sow, Mardochée Nzita Theto, Yacine Titraoui, Adem Zorgane, Antoine Bernier, Daan Heymans, Parfait Guiagon, Nikola Stulic.

Sporting Charleroi: Form and Statistics

Sporting Charleroi have handled their performance in this playoffs qualification at a top level and will head into this game with confidence. The previous time out against KV Mechelen, this team pulled off a 3-0 dominating performance, thanks to Nikola Stulic's brace and Daan Heymans strike.

However, Sporting Charleroi head into this game unbeaten in this Conference League group where they won two and drew two. In those matches, Sporting Charleroi scored six goals and conceded only two. Ahead of this game, the visiting team sits top of the standings with 27 points and three points clear of second-placed Mechelen.

💰 Dender vs Sporting Charleroi Match Prediction 22 April 2025

Despite being on the road, Sporting Charleroi still look like the real deal in this contest after a win over KV Mechelen. However, Dender stepped up their game against Leuven and Standard Liege, a defeat against Dender. However, the two teams have met a number of times but their recent meetings indicate this game could go either way. At home, I feel Dender will prove stubborn, but Sporting Charleroi are ahead with how their performances have been in the group. Also, Dender has been good offensively in recent encounters, and I feel the host will not struggle to score.

Our match prediction is a win for Sporting Charleroi in at least one half with odds at 1.60 from the bookmaker.

Our betting tip is over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.75 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
