Royal Antwerp vs Royal Charleroi Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 24 October 2026
🔉 Antwerp are going through a difficult spell, having lost four of their last five matches, and currently sit in the lower half of the First Division A table. Charleroi, meanwhile, are among the leading group, picking up points consistently and sitting just one point off first place. At this early stage of the season, that contrast in form and league position could be a key factor in how this match plays out.
Charleroi are unbeaten in their last five matches
Antwerp lost 0-1 to Charleroi at home in a Pro League match 10 May 2026, despite having more shots - 18 to 12 - and significantly outperforming their opponents in xG: 1.78 to 0.56. However, only one of Antwerp's shots was on target.
📊 Across 39 official meetings, Charleroi have won 18 and Antwerp 15, with six draws. On Antwerp's ground, the hosts have the edge: 11 wins from 21 games.
Head-to-head statistics Royal Antwerp - Royal Charleroi
Winning the Cup can provide a significant boost.
In their last Belgian Cup match on 17 October 2026, Antwerp won away at Heist 1-0. Despite having 65% possession, the visitors managed nine shots to Heist's six, but the winning goal didn't come until after half-time.
Antwerp are in an unstable run: just two wins and five defeats from their last eight matches. Their short-term form is poor - four defeats in their last five games, with their only positive result coming earlier in that spell. The team are averaging 1.5 goals per game, but their defence is conceding considerably more, at 2.5 per match. Their target is a Champions League place, but they are already 14 points adrift, which reduces their motivation heading into the season.
Match Results: Royal Antwerp
Are on a four-game winning streak
Charleroi's last match also ended in a 1-0 away win, over R AEK Mons in the Belgian Cup 17 October 2026. The visitors held 69% possession and produced twice as many dangerous attacks as their opponents - 107 to 54 - though shots on target were level at 4-4.
Charleroi are in excellent form, with seven wins and one defeat from their last eight matches underlining their consistency. Over their last ten matches, they have won nine and lost one, averaging 1.9 goals scored and just 0.7 conceded per game. Worth noting is their strong start to the title race - Charleroi sit very close to the league leaders and maintain an average level of motivation at this stage of the season.
Match Results: Royal Charleroi
Match Result Prediction
Charleroi have won 7 of their 8 matches this season, losing just once, and away from home they have won all 4 games without a defeat. Antwerp, by contrast, have only 1 win from 7 home matches and have lost 2 of them. On top of that, Charleroi have won all 4 of the most recent head-to-head meetings at Antwerp's ground. These facts point towards a bet on Charleroi to win at odds of 1.36*.
Total Goals Prediction
In the last five head-to-head meetings between Antwerp and Charleroi, the total goals have not exceeded 3.5. On top of that, Antwerp's average in home matches is 1.75 goals scored and 2.75 conceded, while Charleroi away average 1.5 scored and just 0.25 conceded. All of this points to a low-scoring trend, making Total Goals - Under 3.5 at 1.48* the logical pick.
Corners Prediction
In 10 of their last 11 away matches, Charleroi have seen more than 9.5 corners. This trend points to a high likelihood of a large number of corners in this match as well. The pick is Total Corners - Over 9.5 at odds of 1.83*.
High-Risk Bet
Given that Charleroi are consistently strong away from home and have won each of the last 4 head-to-head meetings at Antwerp's ground, Charleroi Handicap -1 at 2.31* is worth considering. Antwerp's home defensive record (2.75 goals conceded per game on average) adds further weight to the argument, though at such a high line a push is possible, so the bet remains a risky one.
Safer Bet
Antwerp have not won in their last six head-to-head matches against Charleroi, and the visitors are in impressive form both over the season and away from home, winning all four of their away fixtures. The Double Chance - X2 on Charleroi at 1.22* looks like the safest option.
Correct Score Prediction
Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 1-1 (11.4%), 1-2 (9.17%) and 0-1 (8.33%). A 1-1 draw is the most probable outcome, though a narrow Charleroi win also looks quite likely. The gap between the first and third options is small, which points to a fairly even match.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.*
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Everything points to a clear advantage for Charleroi - the team are consistently getting results and have barely put a foot wrong in recent matches. Antwerp fall short on almost every key measure, particularly when you look at their recent run of defeats and the average number of goals they have been conceding. Winning the Belgian Cup may have given them a boost in confidence, but for now the hosts have little to offer against the visitors and little reason to expect points from this one. The main bet for this match is a Charleroi win.
