Club Brugge have won six of their last eight home cup ties with both teams scoring in five.
Club Brugge have scored and conceded in five of their eight domestic home games against top-flight opposition this season.
Leuven have scored in their last seven away games, including a 1-1 draw at Club Brugge in September.
Champions have scope to win at a canter

Club Brugge are expected to overcome Leuven to progress to the cup semi-finals on Thursday, but the visitors will certainly fancy their chances of scoring to provide hope for an upset. The Belgian champions are a few points off the top of the table heading into Christmas, but have that look of a team who are pacing themselves and still have another gear or two to shift into.

Phillipe Clement’s side score goals for fun in domestic competition and rattled four past Leuven when they met just over a week ago, so they will be as confident of victory as the oddsmakers are here. Leuven were outclassed on their home turf, but didn’t give up as they grabbed a late consolation in a 4-1 reverse.

Their approach barely differs when away from Den Dreef as Marc Brys’ side have scored in seven successive away games. They may have conceded 11 times during that sequence, but a 1-1 draw at Club Brugge in September and the recent 2-1 victory at table toppers Union suggest the set-up is working well for them.

Brugge forwards should keep goal return high

Both teams to score looks a goof play here, given it has landed in four of the last five head-to-head meetings, including one friendly. And, although they’re more than capable of an upset if things go their way, we’re sticking with the champions to get it done in 90 minutes as well. Key forward players like Charles De Ketelaere, Hans Vanaken and Noa Lang are in good form right now, so it would be foolish to look at anything other than a home win.

The correct score play that best suits this encounter is a 3-1 home win as Club Brugge have scored 15 (avg 2.5) and conceded six (avg 1.0) in their last six domestic home

布鲁日俱乐部在过去的八场主场杯赛中赢得了六场比赛，两支球队都进了五球。
布鲁日俱乐部本赛季在主场对阵顶级对手的8场比赛中有5场进球和失球。
鲁汶在最近的七场客场比赛中都有进球，包括9月1-1战平布鲁日的比赛。
冠军有轻松取胜的机会

布鲁日俱乐部有望在周四战胜鲁汶队进入世界杯半决赛，但客队肯定会希望他们的进球机会为一场逆转提供希望。在圣诞节来临之际，这支比利时冠军队还在积分榜上领先几分，但这支队伍看起来正在调整自己，还有一两个装备需要换上。

菲利普·克莱门特的球队在国内比赛中进球，并在一周前对阵鲁汶时四次击败鲁汶，所以他们将像这里的博彩者一样有信心获胜。鲁汶在主场被击败，但他们没有放弃，他们在4-1的逆转中获得了最后的安慰。

马克·布里斯的球队已经连续7场客场比赛进球，他们在德里夫球场的表现几乎没有什么不同。在这轮比赛中，他们可能已经失球11次，但在9月1-1战平布鲁日俱乐部，以及最近2-1战胜联赛冠军联盟的比赛中，这种格局对他们来说是很好的。

布鲁日的前锋应该保持高的进球率

这两支球队在这里进球看起来都很愚蠢，因为他们在过去五场面对面的比赛中有四场都有进球，包括一场友谊赛。而且，尽管如果事情朝着他们的方向发展，他们更有能力击败对手，但我们仍然坚持冠军在90分钟内完成比赛。关键的前锋像查尔斯·德·克特拉尔，汉斯·瓦肯和诺亚·朗现在都处于良好的状态，所以除了主场取胜之外再去考虑其他事情是愚蠢的。

最适合这场比赛的比赛应该是主场3-1的胜利。在过去的六场主场比赛中，布鲁日取得了15分(平均2.5分)和6分(平均1.0分)的成绩
