Both sides come into the game on contrasting streaks – Lommel have slipped to two draws after three wins, while Charleroi have rallied with three wins out of five after an early loss. The recent form suggests Lommel may lack cutting edge, whereas Charleroi have shown they can finish matches strongly.

Lars's Verdict

Lean
Charleroi Draw No Bet Won Lean · Balanced odds

With both teams equally likely to win and a quarter‑chance of a draw, removing the draw leaves Charleroi at a flat 50 % chance of success.

Show the maths
The model assigns 37.1 % to each side and 25.8 % to a draw. By taking a draw‑no‑bet on Charleroi we discard the draw portion, leaving only the two win probabilities. Charleroi’s win share becomes 37.1 / (37.1 + 37.1) = 0.50, or a 50 % chance. This 50 % figure is the highest single‑outcome probability the model offers after removing the draw, making the DNB the most decisive market here.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Lommel United averaging 1.35 expected goals and Charleroi 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 (Lommel United 1.35, Charleroi 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 Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Lommel United 1.35 + Charleroi 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 (Lommel United 1.35 + Charleroi 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 Lommel United at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Charleroi at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

Form Guide — Last 5

Lommel United

WWWDD

Lommel’s recent league run includes a 3‑1 home victory over Beerschot VA and a 1‑1 away draw with St. Truiden, showing they can find the net but also struggle to keep clean sheets. Those results translate to a modest goal threat and a tendency toward draws, which dampens the appeal of a straight win pick for them.

Charleroi

WLDWW

Charleroi have posted a 2‑0 away win at Standard Liege and a 0‑1 home loss to KVC Westerlo, highlighting a capacity to dominate opponents but also a vulnerability at home. The mix of a solid away performance and a recent home setback suggests they are well‑placed to avoid a draw while still being capable of securing the win.

Head-to-Head

The only recent head‑to‑head meeting was a 0‑0 stalemate on 27 Oct 2021, which aligns with the model’s 25.8 % draw probability and supports the view that a draw remains a realistic outcome.
