BTTS — Yes Won

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

Charleroi come into the match with a mixed five‑game run of WWLDW, while OH Leuven have only two recent results recorded – a draw and a loss – giving them a single point from those outings. Both clubs have shown the ability to score and concede, setting up a tightly contested encounter.

Lars's Verdict

Solid

Charleroi Draw No Bet Won Solid · Even win odds

Eliminating the draw improves Charleroi’s effective probability above the flat 37.1% win chance, making the DNB option the cleanest path to a positive outcome.

Show the maths

The model assigns Charleroi a 37.1% chance to win outright and a 25.8% chance of a draw. Removing the draw from the equation reallocates that 25.8% proportionally to the two possible outcomes, raising Charleroi’s effective chance to roughly 46% (37.1 ÷ (37.1+37.1) = 50% before draw, then 37.1 ÷ (37.1+37.1+25.8) ≈ 46%). This uplift above the base win probability makes the Draw No Bet market the most favorable single‑bet choice.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Charleroi averaging 1.35 expected goals and OH Leuven averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Charleroi 1.35, OH Leuven 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Charleroi 1.35 + OH Leuven 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Charleroi 1.35 + OH Leuven 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Charleroi at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and OH Leuven at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Charleroi

WWLDW

Charleroi’s five‑match stretch features wins over Genk (2‑0) and Standard Liege (2‑0), a narrow 0‑1 loss to Westerlo, and a 1‑1 draw with OH Leuven. The two clean‑sheet victories demonstrate strong offensive bursts, while the recent loss and draw suggest they can also concede, indicating a balanced but slightly volatile form that supports a cautious DNB stance.

OH Leuven

OH Leuven’s latest two results are a 1‑1 away draw with Charleroi and a 0‑2 home defeat to Genk. The draw shows they can hold a strong opponent, but the loss underlines limited scoring potency, reinforcing the view that a straight win is less likely than a DNB outcome for Charleroi.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, Charleroi have recorded two wins (2‑0 and 2‑1) and two draws (1‑1 and 2‑2), while OH Leuven have one win (2‑0). The head‑to‑head record leans slightly towards Charleroi, supporting the DNB pick.
