Charleroi hosts Genk in round 7 of Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, September 13th at Stade du Pays de Charleroi (Charleroi)
On the one hand, Charleroi takes only 10th line in standings after 5 matches played. On the other hand, it is separated from Standard that has taken the lead by only 4 points, and the Zebras played one match less. In the offseason, Charleroi bought the attacking midfielder Fall from Zulte-Waregem, and he already scored his debut goal against Antwerp. In general, the attack of the Zebras have no problems - 9 goals scored in 5 games. But they concede a lot. 6 goals have already flown into their net. Moreover, only Waasland, which is the last in the standings, was not able to hit the Penneteau’s goal, but Charleroi conceded in all other matches.

The reigning champion began the tournament with a victory over Kortrijk. However, 2 losses in a row followed then. But Genk immediately began to prove that this was no more than an accident. The team gained 2 victories over Waasland and Anderlecht and tied against Brugge in its field in the final round. Although Trossard and Malinovskiy left the team (the first one scored 14 goals in the last championship, and now he will score in England for Brighton; the Ukrainian, who scored 13 goals, went to Atalanta), Genk’s attack did not become weaker. In their place, they took the Nigerian striker of Midtjulland, Onuachu, who scored 17 goals in the last championship of Denmark, and Romanian Hagi, who scored 19 goals for Vitorul. The main scorer, Samatta, also remained in the team. He scored 23 goals in the last championship and already 5 in the current one. But the loss of defender Aidoo (he moved to Celta) is already felt to some extent. Genk has already conceded 7 goals.
At the start of the championship, teams are in the approximately same condition. Charleroi will have an advantage in the form of its field, where it has not lost for the last 7 matches and gained 6 victories. Still, the Zebras will meet the current champion. And this champion does not lose in Charleroi for the last 5 matches in a row. And it won 1 of them. So, it is better to refuse to find a winner. But you can bet on the exchange of goals. Both teams have already scored 9 goals and conceded 6 and 7, respectively. In the last 6 meetings in Charleroi, there was a goal exchange.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
