Charleroi take on the visitors Brugge in the round 6 match of Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, August 26th at Stade du Pays de Charleroi (Charleroi).
Charleroi have been alternating wins and losses this season. The Zebras sometimes climb into places that are high enough to start in European competition. There was, for example, in 2015 and 2020, when the Belgians in the Europa League qualifying took off from their 2nd opponent, first from the Ukrainian Zorya, and then from the Polish Lech. And last season ended with the 7th final place. There were hopes for progress under a new mentor, Edward Still. He made his debut from away 3-1 with Eupen, after which there were defeats not only to Union, but also to Ostend. And only on the 13th of August it turned out to cope with Seresien. And then, building on the success, they scored 3-1 on the Sylte-Waregem field.

Brugge will face problems in their next title defense. The Black and Blues are the giants of Belgian football. Moreover, since 2020 they manage to hold on the 1st place. It was especially difficult to defend the lead last season, but at the 2nd stage of the Jupiler League, the favorite still managed to get ahead of the daring challenger, Union Saint-Gilloise. But now there will be a new challenge, which Hofkens was assigned to deal with. This is a well-known player in the past who has been working in the structure of the club for a long time, but has only now become the head coach. The debut was a success: thanks to the only goal of Skov Olsen, Gent was beaten and the country's Super Cup was taken. But in the first rounds of the Jupiler League, there were also enough misfires: 1-2 with Eupen, 1-1 with Sylte-Waregem. And Kortrijk was beaten at home minimally, 2-1. Well, do not forget that Bruges continues to earn on sales. The departure of De Ketelare stands out especially - to Milan, for good money. But who will replace him on the field? It looks like special hopes for Olsen and newcomer Jujla - both started the season well.
Brugge won both head-to-heads last season. By the way, before that, in 2020/2021, Charleroi took 4 points out of 6 possible. Brugge will be, of course, the favorite of the confrontation. But they are unstable, and Charleroi gained momentum in the last rounds. We recommend betting on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
