Antwerp vs Royale Union SG Prediction & Betting Tips (8 January)

5 times Belgian champion, Antwerp has also won this competition four times and intends to take out the defending champion this evening at home. In the previous round, The Great Old eliminated Kortrijk after the penalty shootout. At home, we cannot say that the locals' latest results are reassuring, particularly in the league with three receptions without finding the key to victory, including two draws against leader Genk 2-2, and promoted Dender 1-1. As a bonus, there was a very serious defeat for the arrival of Charleroi 1-3. As for the Jupiler League, Antwerp holds fourth place with 32 points after 20 matches played, but has only won one of its last six matches in the top flight..

.  Unlike Antwerp, the defending champion of this Belgian Cup did not need to go to penalties to get rid of his competitor in the previous round, in this case La Gantoise winning 3-2. Casually, the USG is in a crisis of crazy success since it has not lost since the end of October in all competitions, a series of 13 matches for a record of 8 victories and 5 draws. Even in the Europa League, the Union relaunched itself in the race for a possible play-off by beating Nice 1-2. In the wake of this success, the evening visitors offered themselves two great victories in the league against Westerlo 3-1 and La Gantoise 1-3. 

Crucial in the rotation of midfielders, Jelle Bataille spent the end of year holidays injured and is not certain of playing in this quarter-final (uncertain). In addition, Scott (rotation), Engels (injury after injury), the important Balikwisha (7 goals, 5 assists last year in the league), and Doumbia will be absent. Once expected in Lens to replace Brice Samba, the French goalkeeper Butez ultimately remained in Belgium for transfer reasons deemed too expensive for the Sang et Or. Author of a double against Genk, the Suriname Kerk (5 goals, 2 offerings in the championship) will be present as will the captain Alderweireld, the offensive Chery (8 goals, 5 assists), the Dutchman Janssen (7 pawns, 6 caviars), and Ondrejka (7 goals, 4 pancakes).

There is some damage to report at the Union which will probably cope without Fuseini (4 goals in the championship) who remains injured like Teklab (seriously injured), and Mamadou Traoré (absent for a very long time). Author of a double in the 1/8th final on two pancakes from Fuseini, Promise David (5 pawns in the championship) will be in the game like the Croatian international hopeful Franjo Ivanovic (6 goals, 2 assists) and the duo with two goals in the championship: Mac Allister and Sykes.
