On 24 May 2025, the Belgian Jupiler Pro League will host the final match of the 10th round of the Conference League, as Charleroi welcomes Oud-Heverlee to their home ground. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 Central European Time. Let's take a closer look at the best bet for goals in this clash.
Charleroi
Charleroi enters this encounter already having clinched a spot in European competition next season — specifically, the Conference League playoffs. This achievement comes on the back of a strong run in recent rounds. Charleroi is currently unbeaten in four matches, notching up three wins and a draw against Mechelen in their latest outing.
The team has been particularly dominant at home, stringing together four consecutive victories with impressive attacking displays. In their last three home fixtures, Charleroi has netted more than three goals against their opponents. However, their head-to-head record against Oud-Heverlee in Charleroi leaves much to be desired — in the last five home meetings, Charleroi has failed to register a single victory, suffering three defeats and drawing twice.
Oud-Heverlee
The visitors, meanwhile, have already achieved their minimum objective for the season — securing their place in the top division. However, form has deserted Oud-Heverlee in recent rounds: the team is winless in its last four outings, suffering three defeats along the way. What's more, they failed to find the net in their last two matches.
That said, the lack of pressure at the end of the campaign could work in Oud-Heverlee’s favor — in this final round, they can afford to play with more freedom. It's also worth highlighting their impressive head-to-head record against Charleroi: Oud-Heverlee is unbeaten in the last ten meetings, winning six and drawing five. Their most recent encounter, back in March, ended in a goalless draw. Interestingly, each of the last six clashes between these sides has seen under 2.5 goals scored.

Charleroi vs Oud-Heverlee match prediction
On paper, Charleroi look like the favorites: they're in great form, strong at home, and have already secured European football. Oud-Heverlee are also free from relegation worries and can play with freedom in this last round. Despite Charleroi’s poor head-to-head record and the recent trend of low-scoring encounters, this match could play out differently. With both teams free from pressure, we could see a much more open contest. My pick for this match — both teams to score at odds of 1.65.
