National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Waasland-Beveren or Sparta Petegem that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Waasland-Beveren form and stats
Waasland-Beveren participated in Belgian Cup the last season, where they reached the 16th finals.0-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for Waasland-Beveren so far this season. Waasland-Beveren are slowly digging their own grave here at Freethielstadion with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Sint-Truiden match.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Genk in the Pro League last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Beerschot-Wilrijk (2-3).
The Waasland-Beveren fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. As for conceded goals, Waasland-Beveren's unpleasant statistic is 10 goals surrendered.
Sparta Petegem form and stats
Last season their Belgian Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.Petegem love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Toekomst Menen in just four days.
