Antwerp host Sporting Charleroi in the Pro League, with the home side sitting 13th on 7 points from 8 matches, while the visitors are 3rd with 21 points. The table situation gives this game a different meaning for the two teams. Antwerp just won 1-0 in the cup, but in the league things are still tough after losing 4 in a row before that. The defense has conceded 20 goals in 8 matches, while Sporting Charleroi are unbeaten in 4 straight and have conceded only 7 all season. The pattern of play is therefore likely to see the visitors dominate possession (57.6% in the last 10 matches) while the home side sit deep and wait to counter. If Antwerp score first, the game becomes one where the visitors have to push higher, which opens space for the home side to play long balls on the counter. But if Sporting Charleroi score first, Antwerp will have to abandon their defensive tactics and take more risks, and the game could flow the visitors' way.
