Full Analysis

Stade du Pays de Charleroi plays host to Charleroi versus OH Leuven in Jupiler Pro League, Regular Season - 29. Kick-off: Saturday 14 March 2026 at 15:00 UTC.

Form & Momentum

Charleroi have collected 1.40 PPG across 10 Jupiler Pro League outings this season: 4W 2D 4L. Last five: L L L L D. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.60 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

In front of their own supporters this season, Charleroi have posted 3W 3D 4L at Stade du Pays de Charleroi — 1.20 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

OH Leuven (all games): 2W 3D 5L across 10 Jupiler Pro League outings this term — 0.90 points per game. Last five: W W L L L. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation.

When travelling in Jupiler Pro League this season, OH Leuven have posted 3W 2D 5L from 10 away outings — 1.10 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.40 for Charleroi, 0.90 for OH Leuven — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

H2H Analysis

Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 7 head-to-head meetings have produced 1 wins for Charleroi, 2 for OH Leuven and 4 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.

Historically, goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.7 per game from 7 meetings. The Under 2.5 has a clear base rate from the H2H record alone. The most recent clash, on 27 Jul 2025, ended 2–2 with a draw.

With a balanced win record and just 1.7 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.

Trading Data

Charleroi goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (68 games, 33 at home): they score before half-time in 79% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (home games).

OH Leuven goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (68 games, 33 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (away games); they fail to score in 35% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Charleroi 56% versus OH Leuven 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Charleroi 47% | OH Leuven 38%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Charleroi 1.78 xG and OH Leuven 1.35 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Charleroi attack 1.127 / defence 1.179 | OH Leuven attack 0.893 / defence 1.214. League average goals — home 1.304 / away 1.281. OH Leuven bring a strong defensive rating of 1.214 — this is suppressing Charleroi's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 58 Charleroi games / 58 OH Leuven games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Charleroi 48% | Draw 23% | OH Leuven 29%. Fair-value odds: Charleroi 2.08 | Draw 4.35 | OH Leuven 3.45. Charleroi hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.78 / 1.35) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Charleroi at 48% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Charleroi if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.13 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 61% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction — though H2H averaging only 1.7 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 62% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Charleroi 50% | OH Leuven 60% BTTS from recent games.
