Eupen vs Charleroi prediction and betting tips - April 26, 2024

On April 26, 2024, within the survival group of the Belgian Pro League, a match between Eupen and Charleroi will take place. The hosts are almost doomed, while the guests can solidify their status as the best at least in this quartet of underachievers.

Key statistics and trends:

• The home side hasn't won in the last 4 matches and has only gathered 1 point during this period.
• The guests have lost only one match out of their last 6 in the Pro League and have kept four clean sheets during this stretch.
• The guests have won 2 matches in a row recently, making it a total of 7 wins in the regular championship. 

Eupen - Form analysis: Survival chances are almost purely theoretical

The "Pandas" are on the brink of relegation in Belgium, while PSG, owned by the same Qatar-based group, is at the top of the Champions League. They haven't been outstanding before but managed to stay in the league. The current regular championship also ended without much hope - they gathered 29 points, the same as their current opponent. However, in direct confrontations with other underdogs, they only managed a draw with Kortrijk and suffered three defeats. It seems inevitable that this pair will be relegated. They are already 5 points behind Molenbeek, with only 3 matches left to play.

Charleroi - Form analysis: There is a chance to definitively secure survival.

The "Zebras" occasionally qualify for European competitions. However, this season, they averaged less than a point per game in the league, ending with 29 points after 30 rounds. But the crucial thing is the arrival of the new coach, De Mil, at the end of March. He managed to prepare the team optimally for the decisive stage, especially against other underdogs of the season. After sharing points with Molenbeek, the team then beat both Kortrijk and Eupen consecutively. Winning now will likely make them unreachable not only for this pair but also for the third "neighbor."
