Royal Antwerp - Sporting Charleroi

Michael Frey spearheads the Royal Antwerp attack as his side seeks to regain momentum in the Belgian Pro League on 24 October 2026. The forward is expected to start alongside Ibrahim Salah at Bosuil Stadion, aiming to snap a difficult run of league form that saw the team suffer a heavy defeat against Westerlo recently. While a narrow cup victory over KSK Heist provided a brief reprieve, the hosts must tighten their defensive structure to contain a visiting side that has enjoyed a much more consistent start to their campaign.

Sporting Charleroi arrive in high spirits, bolstered by a streak of positive results including a clean-sheet victory over Standard Liege. Despite the absence of the injured Antoine Bernier, the visitors possess a clear rhythm in midfield with Jakob Napoleon Romsaas and Patrick Pfluecke pulling the strings. Having consistently troubled their hosts in previous meetings, Charleroi will look to exploit any lingering defensive fragility to secure another result at this venue.
