✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Kortrijk and Charleroi meet at Guldensporenstadion in Jupiler Pro League, Relegation Round - 2. This fixture gets under way on Sunday 14 April 2024 at 15:00 UTC.
Form & Momentum
Kortrijk have collected 1.20 PPG across 10 Jupiler Pro League outings this season: 3W 3D 4L. Last five: L W L W D. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.
Kortrijk at Guldensporenstadion this season: 3W 1D 6L from 10 home games — 1.00 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 0.70 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Charleroi's overall Jupiler Pro League record this term: 2W 3D 5L from 10 games (0.90 PPG). Last five: L W D L D. Their scoring rate of 0.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No.
On the road, Charleroi have gone 1W 3D 6L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.60 PPG). Away from home they average 0.20 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 10% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.
Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.20 vs 0.90 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.
Both sides have a clean-sheet tendency (using home/away splits) — Kortrijk have seen both teams score in just 30% of their matches, Charleroi in only 10%. BTTS No has clear statistical support from the form record of both squads.
Head-to-Head
Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 6 head-to-head meetings have produced 1 wins for Kortrijk, 2 for Charleroi and 3 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.
The 6 previous meetings have averaged 2.2 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 3 Feb 2024, ended 1–0 with Kortrijk winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
Trading
Kortrijk half-time and goal-timing data (64 games, 31 at home): they score before half-time in 64% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games); they fail to score in 38% of games.
Charleroi half-time and goal-timing data (64 games, 31 at away): they score before half-time in 61% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; BTTS occurs in 45% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 41%; they fail to score in 31% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Kortrijk 48% versus Charleroi 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Kortrijk 55% | Charleroi 52%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Kortrijk 1.23 xG and Charleroi 0.85 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: Kortrijk attack 0.743 / defence 1.157 | Charleroi attack 0.623 / defence 1.054. League average goals — home 1.572 / away 1.176. Kortrijk's attack strength of 0.743 is below the league average — the 1.23 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 64 Kortrijk games / 63 Charleroi games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Kortrijk 45% | Draw 29% | Charleroi 26%. Fair-value odds: Kortrijk 2.22 | Draw 3.45 | Charleroi 3.85. Kortrijk hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 34% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 2.08. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 66% probability — total xG of 2.08 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Kortrijk as the most likely outcome at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Kortrijk if the outright odds are short.
Poisson projects 2.08 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 34% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 1.9 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 40% on No. Form rates corroborate: Kortrijk 30% | Charleroi 10% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Charleroi beat Kortrijk 1-2 at Guldensporenstadion, Relegation Round - 2, in the Jupiler Pro League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Kortrijk 1.23 xG and Charleroi 0.85 xG, a combined 2.08. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Charleroi outscored their 0.85 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Kortrijk attack 0.74 / defence 1.16 against Charleroi attack 0.62 / defence 1.05, drawn from 64/63 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Kortrijk 45% | Draw 29% | Charleroi 26%, with Kortrijk to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual Charleroi win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 34%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 61% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 40% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Kortrijk 55%, Charleroi 52%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Kortrijk's trading profile (64 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did.
Charleroi's trading profile (64 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Kortrijk 0.88 PPG, Charleroi 1.22 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Charleroi win broke the near-deadlock. Charleroi (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.90 average — above their attacking norm.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
