Sporting Charleroi and Anderlecht kick off Round 12 of the Belgian Jupiler League when they face each other at the Stade du Pays on Friday. Rik De Mil’s men enter the weekend eager to secure their first win since mid-September, having failed to win their previous five meetings against Anderlecht.
Sporting Charleroi’s recent form has been disappointing. They suffered a 3-1 defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise at the Stade Joseph Marien last Saturday, marking their fourth consecutive loss. Since a narrow 1-0 victory over Genk on September 17, Charleroi have conceded nine goals while scoring just three. Currently, Charleroi have accumulated 12 points from 11 league matches, sitting 12th in the standings. A win this weekend could see them level on points with eighth-placed Genk.
On the other hand, Anderlecht come into this fixture having drawn 2-2 with Sint-Truidense last Sunday at the Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium. Despite giving up their lead twice, Besnik Hasi’s side have now gone six matches unbeaten—four draws and two wins—since a 2-0 loss to Saint-Gilloise on August 31. Anderlecht currently hold 19 points from 11 games, placing them third in the table, level with fourth-placed Mechelen.
### Sporting Charleroi vs Anderlecht: Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
– Anderlecht have a superior historical record, boasting 37 wins in the last 59 meetings between the two teams.
– Sporting Charleroi have recorded 11 wins, with 11 matches ending in a draw.
– Anderlecht are unbeaten in their last five encounters with Charleroi, securing four wins and one draw since losing 1-0 in October 2022.

– Anderlecht’s away form has been mixed, with just one win from their last six away games in all competitions, alongside two losses and three draws since August 14.
### Match Prediction
Although Anderlecht have shown vulnerability on the road, their overall recent form and superior head-to-head record give them the edge against a struggling Charleroi side on a four-game losing streak. Given Charleroi’s inability to overcome Anderlecht in recent meetings, we expect Anderlecht to come out on top once again.
**Prediction:** Sporting Charleroi 1–3 Anderlecht
