After suffering elimination from the Champions League, it is back to domestic matters for Club Brugge.
Ivan Leko’s side will look to bounce back in style this weekend against a Charleroi team which recently inflicted pain upon them.
A Club Brugge revenge mission is being plotted on the training ground, paving the way for yet another fabulous contest in the Jupiler Pro League.
Check out our full match preview below, and we have picked out some more online betting tips based on the latest Pro League odds.
Charleroi vs Club Brugge Preview
The last meeting between these two sides at Charleroi was back in January, when the hosts won 2-0 in the Croky Cup quarter-finals.
It marked a difficult start to the year for Club Brugge, but things have certainly improved in recent weeks – particularly domestically.
In Europe, Leko’s men can be forgiven for losing to a high-quality Atletico Madrid in their play-off tie. The scores were level at 3-3 after the first leg in Bruges, but Diego Simeone’s men then recorded a 4-1 win in Spain on Tuesday evening.
But there is no shame in being beaten by Atletico, and Club Brugge have won each of the last three in the Pro League following last weekend’s 2-1 victory over OH Leuven.
So confidence in the camp should still be fairly high as we approach the end of the regular season, but the same cannot be said for Charleroi.
Rik De Mil’s side collected three consecutive 2-0 wins following the aforementioned cup success over Club Brugge. However, things have since gone badly wrong in the month of February.
Charleroi are on a four-match losing streak across all competitions, suffering defeat in each of the last two on home soil vs Cercle Brugge (3-4) and Gent (2-3).
De Mil’s side now sit a bit too close to the Relegation Round places, which is far from ideal when preparing to face a top-quality outfit – one which is also out for revenge!

Charleroi vs Club Brugge Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.68
While Club Brugge are the heavy favourites given Charleroi’s recent poor form, we expect both teams to get on the scoresheet. Charleroi netted at least once in all four of their recent defeats, while Club Brugge’s last four matches saw this BTTS selection land.
Anytime goalscorer – Nicolo Tresoldi @ 2.60
Tresoldi really is Club Brugge’s form man at the moment. The striker has four goals in his previous five Pro League appearances, netting the crucial winner against Leuven last weekend. So we are backing him to shine again vs a defence which has conceded 13 times in February.
