In the 18th round of the Belgian Challenger League on December 16, 2025, Olympic Charleroi will host Lommel. Welcoming one of the league’s outsiders, the ambitious visitors will be eager to collect all three points on the road.
Our Prediction for Olympic Charleroi vs Lommel
Olympic Charleroi earned promotion last season after winning their group in the third division. As is often the case with newly promoted sides, adapting to the higher level has proven difficult. At this stage, the hosts are mainly fighting for survival, and results have been inconsistent. That said, November finally brought some positive momentum, including a recent victory over Gent II, although these successes have still been mixed with disappointing defeats.
Lommel, representing Limburg, took a step backward last season and finished only in eleventh place. This campaign, however, they are once again eyeing progress. While a direct promotion to the Pro League may be ambitious, a place in the playoff zone remains a realistic objective. Their form dipped at the end of October, when they went five matches without a win, with the only bright spot being a late-autumn victory over Eupen.
From a statistical perspective, Olympic Charleroi average just 0.67 goals scored per game, while conceding around three times as many at 2.01. Lommel, by contrast, score an average of two goals per match, but their defense also allows 1.6 goals per game.
