National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Liège or Westerlo that keep their silverware dream alive.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Westerlo have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-0-1 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
Liège form and stats
Last season, Liège's Belgian Cup journey ended in the 16th finals.The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Liège has four draws from their last four matches.
A good away victory last time out for Liège, who won 1-0 against Olympic Charleroi.
In the game before, an away victory in the Belgian Cup match versus Jeunesse Tamines with a 5-1 scoreline.Westerlo form and stats
Westerlo's mission in Belgian Cup last season failed in the 16th finals.Playing away, Westerlo have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 0 defeats in the First Division B this season. Westerlo love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
The supporters enjoyed Westerlo's previous game versus Lierse Kempenzonen, a First Division B 3-2 win played at home.
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against RWDM in the First Division B.It's early days yet, but Westerlo has scored 2 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
