This weekend will be the second round of fixtures in the 2022/23 Jupiler Pro League and on the 29th of July we have a meeting between Union Saint-Gilloise and Sporting Charleroi.
The game will be played at the Stade Joseph Mariën and the hosts begin the weekend in 11th place on 1 point while the visitors are top on 3 points.
Union Saint-Gilloise come into the match having picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Sint-Truiden last weekend.
It was the hosts who opened the scoring after 21 minutes but Union Saint-Gilloise did not give up and scored the equaliser with 19 minutes remaining on the clock.
Including fixtures from last season, that result means Union Saint-Gilloise have recorded just a single victory from their 6 most recent Jupiler Pro League matches.
They have lost 3 of their last 5 domestic league games, with the defeats coming home and away against Club Brugge and away to Antwerp. Union Saint-Gilloise have suffered 2 straight defeats at home in the league.
However, there are no losses for Union Saint-Gilloise in 27 of their most recent 32 games in the Jupiler Pro League.
That shows they are difficult to beat and will be aiming to build on their point from last week. It is worth noting Union Saint-Gilloise have a third round Champions League qualifying game coming up in midweek and that could have an impact on this match.
Sporting Charleroi travel to the Stade Joseph Mariën having started the new season in positive fashion. They recorded a 3-1 home victory over AS Eupen on the opening weekend of the 2022/23 Jupiler Pro League season.
Sporting Charleroi were 2-0 up after 50 minutes but conceded a goal in the 76th minute. The nerves of the home fans were eased when Sporting Charleroi added a third goal at the end of the game.
That result means Sporting Charleroi have won their 3 most recent league games, with the other wins coming over Mechelen at home and Gent away last season.
However, overall away form is not great and Sporting Charleroi have recorded only 1 win from their last 5 away Jupiler Pro League fixtures.
Trends show in Sporting Charleroi's most recent 6 Jupiler Pro League matches, both teams scored and there have been over 2.5 goals.
Looking ahead to the team news and Union Saint-Gilloise do not have any major injury or suspension concerns for this match.
Sporting Charleroi have doubts over the fitness of defensive duo Jules Van Cleemput and Mehdi Boukamir.
We should see plenty of goal mouth action in this game and expect to see over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
Union Saint-Gilloise may have one eye on their Champions League game with Rangers and that could hand the initiative to the away team, meaning Sporting Charleroi could take maximum points.
