Matchday 10 in the Belgian Pro League kicks off with Gent playing host to Charleroi at Ghelamco Arena on Friday evening. De Buffalos and Les Zebras are in fifth and eighth place in the league standings, respectively, after nine games. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Gent have made a mixed start to the season, currently on 14 points after nine matches (W4 D2 L3). However, with this being the first game of the weekend, they will be able to move up to at least third place overnight if they win. 

The Buffaloes won their last match 4-2 against Cercle Brugge. They have scored 15 goals this season but have also conceded 12, which is the second-most of any team in the top half of the table. 

The hosts have taken seven points from a possible 12 at home this season (W2 D1 L1), but they are unbeaten in their last three matches against this opponent at this venue. 

Meanwhile, after winning three league games on the bounce either side of the September international break, Charleroi are now looking to avoid a third defeat in a row. 

The Zebras were beaten 2-0 by high-flying Mechelen last week, which left them with a record of three wins, three draws and three defeats over the first nine games of the season. 

Notably, the visitors have fared marginally better in away games than at home this season (W2 D1 L1), with those two victories coming in their last two outings.
