• Competition: Belgian Cup, Quarter-Finals
• Date: Wednesday, 8th January, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Bosuilstadion (Antwerp)

In the Belgian Cup Quarter Finals, two Jupiler Pro League teams, Antwerp and Union Saint-Gilloise, will face off at the Bosuilstadion in Antwerp.

Antwerp have been among the best teams in Belgium in the previous several years. Last year, they ended up in the Championship Group but finished as the worst team there. This year, the Reds had their ups and downs and are now in 4th place with 32 points from 20 matches - already ten points behind the first-placed Genk. Still, they can be satisfied since they are five points away from dropping out of the Championship Group.

Since returning to the Jupiler Pro League, Union Saint-Gilloise has been among the best teams, coming super close to winning the title on two occasions, eventually missing it by one point. This season, Union Saint-Gilloise had a poor start and, because of it, are in 5th place with 31 points from 20 rounds. Still, they are looking better as the season progresses and are now on a 13-game unbeaten run across the competitions.

Antwerp vs Union Saint-Gilloise pick: Both teams to score

Antwerp have been very good at home, winning 12 out of 17 games and scoring at least a goal on 16 occasions - 94%. So, scoring against anyone in the league is a must. Moreover, both teams have scored in the last four games and in seven out of the last eight, making them one of the best for this type of bet lately.

Union Saint-Gilloise are on a 13-game unbeaten run. During that run, they only failed to score once, and we believe they are capable of scoring on the road against Antwerp. Additionally, they have scored two or more goals in the last four matches in all competitions.

These teams played for around a month, with Union Saint-Gilloise winning 2:1. Considering all the above, both teams to score bet should be the safest option for this Cup tie.
