Sporting Charleroi and Anderlecht get round 12 of the Belgian Jupiler League underway when they lock horns at the Stade du Pays on Friday. Having failed to win their previous five meetings between the two teams, Rik De Mil’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and secure their first victory since mid-September.
Sporting Charleroi were left empty-handed yet again as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise at the Stade Joseph Marien last Saturday.
De Mil’s side have now lost four games on the trot, conceding nine goals and scoring three since scraping a 1-0 victory over Genk on September 17.
Charleroi have picked up just 12 points from their 11 Jupiler League matches so far to sit 12th in the standings but could move level on points with eighth-placed Genk with a win this weekend.
