Sporting Charleroi will be looking to keep their hopes of a European spot at the end of the season alive when they take on OH Leuven on Friday night.
The hosts go into this game with a lot of confidence, having not lost in their last five league games. Thanks to this fine run, the Zebras are only two points shy of the last European playoffs spot. Apart from the offensive prowess that saw Felice Mazzù's men score a total of seven goals during this unbeaten run, they are also very good defensively. They have finished each of their last four league games without conceding a goal, so another clean sheet here would not be a surprise.
Meanwhile, the visitors are just two points behind Charleroi in the table and come into the game on the back of a 4-2 win over Zulte Waregem that ended their run of seven winless games. Despite struggling to pick up wins, the visitors haven't conceded many goals lately. This is evidenced by the fact that six of their last eight games ended with less than 2.5 goals. It remains to be seen if Friday's game will have a similar outcome.
Sporting Charleroi vs OH Leuven betting tips: BTTS
Despite the current form of the visitors, it is very difficult to write them off, as they have lost only one of the last six direct meetings between these two teams.
Since both teams scored at least one goal in five of those encounters, we think a bet on "both teams to score" is the best option in this match.

Sporting Charleroi Team News
Charleroi did not suffer any major injuries in their narrow 1-0 win over Kortrijk last weekend, so it would be no surprise if 56-year-old coach Felice Mazzù starts with the same starting eleven.
Jonas Bager, Joris Kayembe and Nadhir Benbouali missed the game due to calf, hamstring and cruciate ligament injuries, respectively, and would also be absent from Friday's game.
