Contents
Charleroi to Win
Our firstCharleroi vs Zulte-Waregem prediction is a home win. Charleroi has made great efforts in their quest for a playoff spot in the Championship qualifying round. They are currently 10th and need a win to move into the top 8. Charleroi is 12th in home performance after 6 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats in 14 home games. They have scored 18 and conceded 18 goals at home. Four wins in the last five compared to only two points from two draws for Waregem in their last five league games is why a home win is very likely in this game.
Over 2.5 Goals
The second Charleroi vs Zulte-Waregem prediction is over 2.5 goals. The visitors have been terrible in defending. Most of the recent games for Zulte Waregem ended with over 3.5 goals because of their poor defending, a weakness we expect in-form Charleoi to exploit for another high-scoring encounter.
