Croky Cup 2025/26: Our Predictions for the Round of 32
*All odds are subject to change
Dender to beat Olympic Charleroi @ 1.42
This is a duel between two struggling sides. Both teams sit at the bottom of their respective leagues: Dender are last in the Pro League with 0 wins in 12 matches, while Olympic Charleroi sit bottom of the Challenger Pro League with 0 wins in 10 matches. Dender have a golden opportunity here to claim a first victory of the season against another side in serious trouble. Logic suggests Dender should make the most of this favorable draw, given their additional quality.
Anderlecht vs KVK Ninove: Over 3.5 goals @ 1.69
Anderlecht, one of Belgium’s most historic clubs, need to deliver against the amateurs of KVK Ninove. Facing a lower-division opponent—currently second-to-last in Division 1—the Mauves should exploit the defensive gaps and open spaces left by the Ninove back-line. The cup context, as well as Thorgan Hazard and his teammates’ desire to reassure their home fans, all point towards a high-scoring encounter.
RFC Liège vs Charleroi: Both teams to score @ 1.72
Charleroi, currently 10th in the Pro League, come off a valuable 1-0 league win against Anderlecht, which should give the players confidence heading into this match. RFC Liège, meanwhile, are riding a positive wave in the Challenger Pro League with four consecutive wins and 19 goals scored so far this season. Given both teams’ attacking form, it’s reasonable to expect goals on both sides of this Round of 32 clash.
Beveren to beat Standard Liège @ 3.15
This is arguably the most exciting fixture of the round. Beveren remain unbeaten and sit comfortably at the top of the Challenger Pro League, enjoying both momentum and a psychological edge. Standard Liège, despite their Pro League status, continue to lack consistency, opening the door for a potential upset. This cup tie represents a major opportunity for Beveren to make a lasting impression.
