Anderlecht vs Charleroi Prediction: Anderlecht confident of returning to winning ways

Lotto Park will host the Jupiler Pro League game between Anderlecht and Charleroi at Lotto Park. Heading into this game, Anderlecht have won each of the last three games of this fixture. How will this one end

Anderlecht will be disappointed with how things ended in their last league encounter against Genk, as they lost at home 0-2. In that encounter, Anderlecht had 58 percent of the possession attempted 18 shots, with four unconverted on targets. In the meantime, this side could not avoid being a goal down at halftime despite Genk missing from the spot just seven minutes into the game before an 86th-minute strike by Noah Adedeji-Sternberg in the second half. Heading into this game, Anderlecht have failed to pick a win in any of their last three league matches, as they were held to draws by Westerlo and Union Saint-Gilloise in other encounters. 

Charleroi's previous encounter was against Beerschot VA, and this team secured a 3-0 win. Charleroi took the lead 15 minutes into the match through Daan Heymans's strike in that encounter. However, second-half goals from Grejohn Kyei and Antonie Bernier were what this team needed to secure maximum points in that game. Heading into this eighth fixture, Charleroi have three wins in their last five matches while suffering defeats in two other encounters. 

Anderlecht had a solid start to the season, but this team has struggled in the last weeks. While Charleroi have been decent in some recent matches, I still do not see them pulling off any serious performance here. This should be competitive as both teams could not be written off. Yet, with Anderlecht at home, I expect them to end their poor run. Also, with the previous matches in this fixture ending with goals from both ends, we can expect a similar result here.
