Context & news

The Jupiler Pro League match, matchday 10, is scheduled for Sunday 1 November 2026 at 18:15 UTC at Stade du Pays de Charleroi, with Charleroi at home. The behind-closed-doors match, announced on 28 October 2026 following a disciplinary sanction, removes the support of the public while preserving the geographical advantage.

This season, Charleroi averages 56 % possession compared with 38 % for RAAL, 13.4 shots compared with 9.2 and 5.7 corners compared with 3.4, based on the 2026-2027 season after 9 matchdays. Scenario favorable to Charleroi: possession, shot volume and set pieces establish territorial pressure.

Opposing scenario: RAAL defends deep, neutralizes crosses and set-piece situations, then exploits the spaces left by Charleroi in transition; the behind-closed-doors setting may facilitate this resistance, without guaranteeing its success.

Lineups and squad

The lineups will be published one hour before kick-off according to the Pro League. No starting eleven, substitute or starting goalkeeper had been confirmed as of 29 October 2026. Rotation is possible but remains hypothetical.
