The Pro League is back in action, and this fixture presents a clear contrast in circumstances. Sporting Charleroi sit 4th and are chasing points to hold their place in the upper reaches of the table, while La Louvière are 14th and need points to pull away from the lower zone. The hosts lost their most recent league match, but their season overall remains solid: they have won 7 of 9 matches, scoring 16 and conceding 10. The visitors, meanwhile, have just won two in a row, but across the season they have already lost 6 matches and conceded as many as 18 goals. This game is likely to see Sporting Charleroi dominate possession and push high, in keeping with a style measured over the last 10 matches with an average of 57.6% possession, while La Louvière are suited to sitting deep and waiting to counter. If the hosts score first, the game should open up and flow more towards them, but if the visitors hold out for a long time, it could become a game where the hosts have to push harder and harder.
