Anderlecht and Antwerp meet in the Belgian Cup semi-finals in what promises to be a tense, high-quality clash, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The capital club enter the match weakened by injuries to Huerta Valera, Augustinsson, and Stroeykens, yet their home numbers remain strong: 2.00 points per game, 60% clean sheets, and only 0.60 goals conceded per home match. Anderlecht’s expected goals at home sits at 1.73, reflecting consistent chance creation, even if recent league form (LWLDL) has been inconsistent.
Antwerp, despite missing Engels, Hairemans, and Hamdaoui, arrive full of confidence after a dominant 4-0 win over Cercle Brugge. Their away form is impressive—2.25 points per game and a superb 75% clean-sheet rate, conceding just 0.25 goals per away game. Offensively the Reds average 1.75 goals away, backed by a steady expected goals of 1.37. Antwerp also hold a strong recent form line (WWLLW), showing the ability to rise in big fixtures.
H2H favors Anderlecht slightly over time (13 wins to 5), but Antwerp’s current momentum and defensive solidity make this a finely balanced semifinal. As both sides are strong defensively and Antwerp concede 0.25 away, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals. Additionally Draw and Half-Time Draw bets seem appealing.
This Belgian Cup match will be played on Thursday 5 February 2026 at 19:30.
