National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Deinze or AS Eupen that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Deinze form and stats
Last season, Deinze's Belgian Cup journey ended in the round of 32.The story so far in the First Division B for Deinze at their home stadium (Burgermeester Van De Wiele Stadion) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Deinze enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Excelsior Virton's place. The match ended 1-0 with Staelens scoring.
Before that, Deinze had a First Division B home game versus Standard Liege II which ended with a victory 4-1.The manager Grosjean will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to KRC Genk II in only four days.
Deinze have conceded 8 in these home matches.
AS Eupen form and stats
They also participated in Belgian Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals, when Anderlecht drew the shortest straw.AS Eupen have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Pro League, after 2-0-6 (8 played).
Eupen had fun at their own home (Burgermeester Van De Wiele Stadion) last time out, beating Standard Liège 2-0. Peeters and Gassama scored. Peeters got a match rating of 9.14 in that game, top player of the team. Peeters scored one goal, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 59 successful passes (of 69 total).
It was a Pro League defeat before that one as the away game against Anderlecht wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the AS Eupen manager Storck as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Zulte-Waregem.
AS Eupen have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 9 goals have been scored. The AS Eupen manager Storck has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
