Antwerp vs Charleroi Prediction: Stats, Odds, and Storylines

Welcome to our Antwerp vs Charleroi prediction, where we break down the numbers, the storylines, and the betting angles for this much-anticipated Jupiler Pro League fixture. With both teams neck-and-neck in the standings and recent history suggesting a razor-thin margin, this Sunday’s early kickoff at Bosuilstadion promises a tactical chess match rather than a goal-fest. Let’s dive into the details, the stats, and our AI-powered betting tips for this intriguing encounter.

Setting the Stage: Two Sides, One Ambition

Antwerp and Charleroi, both sitting on 27 points after 21 rounds, find themselves side by side in the league table—Antwerp in 7th, Charleroi in 8th. The hosts have been solid at home, unbeaten in their last three at Bosuilstadion, while the visitors ride a five-match unbeaten streak, including a memorable away win at Anderlecht just last month.

  • Antwerp: 3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss in last 6 matches; averaging 1.67 goals scored and 0.83 conceded per game.
  • Charleroi: Identical recent form (3W, 2D, 1L); 1.5 goals scored and under 1 conceded per match.
  • Both teams have 27 points after 21 rounds.

Tactics, Team News, and Recent Changes

Tactically, Antwerp under new manager Joseph Oosting have focused on ball control and defensive solidity, reflected in their expected 52% possession and just 13 shots per game. The injury list is a concern, with key midfielders and forwards sidelined, including Hamdaoui, Adekami, and Hairemans. Charleroi, now led by Hans Cornelis, have found new energy—his emphasis on squad unity has already paid dividends, with recent wins over big names like Anderlecht and Club Brugge.

  • Antwerp missing several key players due to injuries and international duty.
  • Charleroi’s only notable absence is goalkeeper Defourny.
  • Both teams expected to play cautiously, with a combined total of 24 shots but only 8 on target predicted.

Head to Head: A Rivalry on a Knife Edge

The Antwerp vs Charleroi head to head record tells its own story: in 19 meetings, Charleroi have won 9, Antwerp 6, with 4 draws. Both have scored 27 goals in these fixtures—a testament to how evenly matched these sides are. Their most recent meeting ended 1-1, and in the last six league encounters, Antwerp have struggled, losing three times.

  • Last H2H: Charleroi 2-1 Antwerp (May 2025)
  • Previous: 1-1 draw (August 2025)
