Oostende earned only eight points in the last 14 matches of the championship. In the last round, the team lost to Mechelen and took 3rd place from the edge of the standings. Most likely, it will not relegate from the league directly because there is a 7-point gap from the last Cercle Brugge. But it will happen not because Oostende will start gaining points, but because Cercle Brugge is so weak that it will hardly earn these points. Oostende has already conceded 36 goals. Only three teams in the tournament have more.
Oostende lost its last seven away games in a row. In the first leg, it lost to its upcoming opponent at home. So what should we expect from Oostende now? A defeat. What else should we expect from a team with such indicators? It will against a club claiming to be a medalist and being in excellent shape. Charleroi wins in the last five home matches in a row, and all of them ended with clean sheets. Why will the Zebras make an exception for one of the outsiders of the championship? They will not...
Prediction for the match: Charleroi to win
