First of all, I can't get why is Moeskroen big favourite? Odds for Charleroi are amazing (3.10) But I won't be greedy and I will take a safer option who has imo a good value, and high chance of winning
Very important game for Charleroi. They are a good team, and deserve to get into the final of the Belgium cup. Moeskroen played a cup final few seasons ago, so MAYBE they are not so hungry. Still, they won in Charleroi with 0-1. Nobody expekted that, but Moeskroen was by far the better side and deserved to win. Charleroi was not good.
A week-end before the cup, Moeskroen won again an away win, this time in Brussels. They scored very a goal very early in the game. Not much later, Hatchi got a yellow card, so Moeskroen played a big part of the game with 10 man. Moeskroen trainer said to the players that they must defend the result and only what we saw were boring attacking attempts of the hosts. Moeskroen did nothing and the result stayed 0-1, and they are safe from relegation zone.
It won't be an easy game for both teams. I know, Moeskroen will and MUST defend their result. Charleroi knows that they must attack, so there will be many open space. Charleroi got a very nice 1-1 draw against the ex-leaders Anderlecht. It's very good for moral. They conceeded a very early goal, but after that, they pressed for the equaliser, got some chancec (anderlecht either) but it was a young Akpala who scored 2 minutes before the final time.
So, I still give charleroi a good chance to go to the final as they have a very good squad which deserves that. And smart trainer Matthijsen knows perfect how to play this game. 0-1 FT and extra time is the most probable result
