KV Mechelen vs Sporting Charleroi Prediction 17 May 2025
Sporting Charleroi have mathematically made it to the Conference League playoffs and will just have to focus on the matches that will come after. However, it is clear KV Mechelen will be playing for pride with no chance of European football anymore. However, Sporting Charleroi have struggled more in this fixture lately, and KV Mechelen could definitely take advantage of their turf heading into this fixture. Yet, I feel this will be an open contest where you literally won’t write either side off. I love the way Sporting Charleroi are playing however, as they have won four of their last five matches which will be a momentum boost in this fixture. At home, KV Mechelen should score while I expect a win in at least one half for Sporting Charleroi.
