Sporting Charleroi vs AS Eupen Prediction

Sporting Charleroi will feel confident taking on AS Eupen in the opening encounter of the new season given their past record in this fixture.

For the visitors, it will be a new season and they would also like to start on a positive note.

The hosts will be slightly concerned with their absentee list, which will inevitably force them to field a slightly inexperienced line-up. That itself will present an enormous opportunity for Eupen to improve their head-to-head record in this tie.

A draw seems to be on the cards.

Prediction: Sporting Charleroi 2-2 AS Eupen
