Club Brugge KV hosts Antwerp in the Belgian Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 10th at Jan Breydel Stadion (Brugge)
Club Brugge is by far the best team in Belgium. Now it is on an excellent streak of nine consecutive victories and takes 1st place in the standings, outranking Antwerp by 14 points. And this team has been performing steadily throughout the season. The Blue-Blacks have successfully reached the Europa League playoffs and are unlikely to miss another champion’s title. The offensive line scores more than 2 goals per game, so you shouldn't expect zeros in the upcoming match. And the Blue-Blacks beat rivals of the level of Antwerp but could not keep a clean sheet. For example, the fans saw an exchange of goals scored in matches with Standard Liege (3-1), Genk (3-2), and Oostende (2-1). In the last game, Brugge had some problems with conversion and beat Waasland-Beveren with an only 2-0 score, although it could have been even larger.

Antwerp is one of those clubs that can bring the fight to Brugge. Along with it, it confidently leads the Jupiler League standings. And the task in the Europa League has been accomplished - the Red-Whites progressed from the group, and now they will fight for victory in the current tournament. It was Antwerp that won the 2020 Belgian Cup. Then this team beat Brugge with a 1-0 score. And its excellent shape (eight victories in the last ten matches) should give confidence in the match with a direct competitor. Compared to the hosts, Antwerp is more likely to make mistakes in defense and scores a little less. But the team rarely leaves the pitch without a goal. In the last round, the Red-Whites gained a difficult 2-1 victory over Beerschot. They managed to score only in the 84th and 87th minutes and conceded 60 seconds before the end of the meeting.
It is not easy for the hosts to play against Antwerp, and you can just recall their last final in this tournament. Then the Red-Whites quickly took advantage of the mistakes of Brugge’s defenders and won 1-0, having managed to score already in the 25th minute. Antwerp is very good at counter-attacking actions, which repeatedly lead to dangerous attempts. Brugge has the best offensive line in the Belgian Jupiler League (55 goals scored in 26 rounds). It scores in every match and does not intend to stop. Therefore, we should expect goals from both teams.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
