Well, despite the form of Gent, it will be a very difficult match. Gent is flying-high this days, from new year, they got the most points. But, it seems that they are bit tired now, Boussoufa (who is a half-God in Gent) got an injury and he played bad in Lokeren. Charleroi is very dangerous opponent, they just are just eliminated from the cup, and are very ANGRY
Gent won his game in Lokeren. Local derby you know, hot atmosphere in the stadion, but not in the field. In the first 5 minutes Boussoufa got an injury, played whole game, but was weak :( Still, his 17th assist and Foley scored the 0-1. After the goal, very boring game till the HT. After that Lokeren begun to press BIG. They got good chances, and Hakim Bouchouari scored a beauty equaliser. In the last quarter of the game, again Foley, he scored a REAL beauty, Gent tribune begun to siiiing
In fact the FAIR result should be DRAW, because both teams played not sooo good, and nobody deserved the 3 points.
Charleroi got his DESERVED points against Anderlecht. It was a 50-50 game, Anderlecht got big chances, but Charleroi got also their chances. At the end of the game Akpala scored the equaliser. Whole Mambourg went crazy! But thuesday they had a BLACK day. They are eliminated for the Cup final. It was a big dissapointment for the fans, for the whole team because Moeskroen was surely not the better side. Charleroi got good chances, they even scored one more (game ended in 1-1) but it was 40 cm offside for Sterchele. Moeskroen played good, but Charleroi was for sure able to win that one and win the game ...
Honestly, I don't think that Gent can win this one. Charleroi away is very weak, but they are very hungry. It can be an advantage, but also a dissadvantage. That make a no bet here, the odds for Gent are around 1.60 and that's imo not the right price. I don't say Charleroi X2 is value, better to take Under, as Gent attack is not the best one, with tired strikers and the same for Charleroi. That makes probably a boring game, without many chances..
Gent: Only De Beule is doubtfull
Charleroi: Defays and Sterchele are suspended and that's a big loss for Charleroi!
