Our Best Picks and Betting Tips for Oostende vs Charleroi
Oostende to Win
Despite the home team’s poor results, we think they have the best chance to put an end to their bad run. The reason is that they will face a team they have dominated in recent times. In fact, in their last head-to-head meeting, The Kustboys played away and won 3-1. So, our Oostende vs Charleroi prediction is a win for the host.
Over 2.5 Goals
Taking into account the history of meetings between these two teams and the possible Oostende vs Charleroi line ups, we think that the final score can be higher than 2.5 goals. Both teams have the same squad they had when they last met, with the match ending with a total of four goals on the scoreboard.
Furthermore, in this tournament, 7 of The Kustboys’ last nine matches ended with more than 2.5 goals. The same happened in 5 of The Zebras’ last 7 matches.
BTTS
One of the causes of the Kustboys’ poor results has been their inability to keep a clean sheet. In fact, they have 11 consecutive games conceding goals. The last time they played this same opponent they conceded a total of three goals and on that occasion, they were playing at home. It is likely that like the previous head-to-head we will see BTTS in this matchup.
Oostende vs Charleroi Preview: Who Will Win Again?
Oostende
The Kustboys are on a scandalous nine-match winless streak which is why they are at the bottom of the table. Dominik Thalhammer’s team has not been able to beat even the teams at the bottom of the table.
On the previous matchday, they visited Zulte-Waregem who are only 2 points above them. Both teams needed to win to maintain their chances of getting out of the relegation zone, but the result was a 1-1 draw which was not very beneficial for either team.
Charleroi
Coach Felice Mazzu was a little concerned about the poor results the team had obtained in the last four matchdays as they only took 3 out of 12 points. As well as dropping out of the relegation zone, the Zebras were also approaching the relegation zone.
The Zebras took advantage of their home game against Seraing, the worst team in the tournament, to get back to winning ways. After a great game in which they dominated possession, had many shots on goal and did not have much work to do in defence, The Zebras won 3-0.
