A Sports Betting Preview by ArmchairPunter

Gent v Charleroi
Football : Belgium: Pro League
Venue: Planet Group Arena
Friday 3rd October 2025, 1945hrs (GMT)

---

Gent picked up a third win in four games in the Belgian top flight last weekend when Friday night’s hosts registered a 4-2 win away from home at Cercle Brugge which in turn helped lift Ivan Leko’s side up into 5th place in the Pro League table.

Despite being dealt a 1-0 loss away from home at Anderlecht in their previous game, recent victories gained over Royal Antwerp and Dender in 2-1 and 3-0 wins will also give Gent plenty of confidence and belief in gaining another positive result at their Planet Group Arena on Friday night.

However, an overall record of 4-2-3 15/12 indicates Gent’s consistency could be further improved in the domestic top flight especially as the hosts have won just three in their last eight league matches along with slipping to defeats at the hands of Union SG and aforementioned Anderlecht.

Charleroi occupy a mid-table position of 8th place in the Pro League table as the visitors have won, drawn and lost in equal measure after their opening nine league matches of this season’s Pro League campaign.

The visitors recently collected wins against Dender, Cercle Brugge and Genk respectively but this good work has almost been undone by suffering subsequent back-to-back losses to the likes of Zulte Waregem and Mechelen, both of which were at home.

Nevertheless, Charleroi possess an encouraging away record of 2-1-1 6/5 and Rik Demil’s side look to be capable of at least avoiding defeat here at the Planet Group Arena on Friday night.

The Betting Verdict

Charleroi are unbeaten in their previous two meetings against Gent and the visitors are expected to frustrate their hosts again on Friday night.

The Pick :

Gent 2-2 Charleroi
