Sporting Charleroi vs FC Dender Match Prediction 26 April 2025

Dender showed a surprising performance in the midweek game and Sporting Charleroi are now in a tight spot if they want to make it to the playoff. While Sporting Charleroi have struggled sometimes, they have always found a way to at least pick a point. In the meantime, FC Dender will be confident to show competitiveness after making it three consecutive matches without a defeat. 

In the meantime, I feel this will be another open game up for grabs and it can definitely end either way. I do not see a side dominating this fixture, especially considering how their meetings ended in recent times and how well they have been able to handle themselves. 

This should be a very close game, but I feel being at home should give Sporting Charleroi a good advantage. In the meantime, FC Dender have been showing a lot of offensive plays, and I do not see them not scoring here.
