Antwerp

The reigning Belgian champions are experiencing a less than stellar season. While the team managed to qualify for the Champions League group stage, they finished last in their group, exiting European competition. In the domestic league, things are not smooth either, with the club occupying a modest fourth place, trailing the leader by a significant 20 points. In their last match, the team played to a 2-2 draw away against Gent. The Belgian Cup represents a real opportunity to claim silverware, and they must navigate through the semifinals with confidence.

Oostende

For Oostende, the Belgian Cup has been the highlight of the season, with reaching the semifinals marking a significant achievement. After relegation from the top flight last season, the club currently sits in a modest 13th place in the second division, with just a three-point cushion above the relegation zone. Additionally, the club has had 6 points deducted, further complicating their league position.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
