National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Cercle Brugge or Tienen that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the First Amateur Division. That game, against Sint-Eloois-Winkel, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Tienen.
Cercle Brugge form and stats
Cercle participated in Belgian Cup the last season, where they reached the quarter-finals.With 0 Pro League wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Cercle Brugge are certainly not brimming with confidence.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Cercle, who played 1-1 against Standard Liege. That match was also played at this venue (Jan Breydelstadion). Defender Jesper Daland got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.63/10. Daland scored one goal and won 7 of 9 duels.
A Pro League defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at KV Oostende.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Pro League game versus Antwerp in only three days. This game is also played here at Jan Breydelstadion.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Cercle Brugge here at Jan Breydelstadion in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 6 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.
Tienen form and stats
Tienen's mission in Belgian Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.Things could have gone better for Tienen in their First Amateur Division away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right. When we have look at the Belgian Cup statistics, we find 3W-0D-0L. This is both home and away.
Tienen lost away at Sint-Eloois-Winkel (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against La Louviere Centre in the First Amateur Division.Tienen are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). 4 goals have been conceded by Tienen in these games.
