Belgian Pro League season kicks off with Charleroi v OH Leuven
The Belgian Pro League season begins this Sunday at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi as Sporting Charleroi host OH Leuven for matchday 1.

The expected lineup for Sporting Charleroi features Mohamed Kone in goal, a defence of Massamba Sow, Cheick Keita, Aiham Ousou, and Kevin Van Den Kerkhof. The midfield is anticipated to consist of Yassine Khalifi and Jakob Napoleon Romsaas, with Patrick Pflucke supporting forwards Aurelien Scheidler and Antoine Bernier.
OH Leuven's predicted XI sees Tobe Leysen in goal, protected by a back four of Davis Opoku, Oscar Gil, Roggerio Nyakossi, and Ewoud Pletinckx. The midfield is expected to be marshalled by Lukasz Lakomy, Siebe Schrijvers, and Wouter George, with William Balikwisha providing support to forwards Kyan Vaesen and Abdoul Karim Traore.
Sporting Charleroi's recent friendly results have shown a mixed bag of performances. They concluded their pre-season with a 2-3 loss to Rayo Vallecano and a 2-1 victory over RFC Seraing. Prior to that, they drew 2-2 with Lens. Their last competitive matches were in the Belgian Pro League Playoff Conference League Group, where they secured two wins and a draw in their final three games against Standard Liege, OH Leuven, and Royal Antwerp respectively.
OH Leuven have also been involved in friendly matches leading up to the new campaign. Their most recent outing was a high-scoring 3-6 defeat against Lille, following a 4-4 draw with SC Heerenveen. Earlier in July, they recorded a 1-0 win against K. Lierse SK and a 5-1 victory over Lommel. Their final competitive fixtures of the previous season saw them secure one win and two draws in the Belgian Pro League Playoff Conference League Group, including a 1-1 draw with Sporting Charleroi.
