Anderlecht's opponent in the upcoming Belgian Cup quarter-final is Beerschot, a newly promoted team in the Belgian Pro League this season and currently sitting at the bottom of the table. The two teams have previously met twice in the Belgian Pro League, with each team winning one match at home. However, it must be acknowledged that Anderlecht was somewhat unlucky in their match at Beerschot's stadium (they dominated in every aspect except for goals).

Bregenz are currently 5th in the league table with 38 points after 24 rounds, directly competing for a promotion spot. However, their recent form is a cause for concern, as they have lost two consecutive matches against Horn and First Vienna, despite two consecutive wins prior to that. Bregenz's strength lies in their attack, having scored 45 goals – the second highest in the league – but their shaky defense has cost them a significant number of points.
The ELO ratings show a slight difference between the two teams, with SW Bregenz at 68 points and Floridsdorfer AC at 72. However, both teams are showing signs of improving performance, with positive TILT ratings: 5.5% for Bregenz and 10.1% for Floridsdorfer – a positive sign for the away team. In terms of global ELO rankings, Floridsdorfer is ranked 1391st compared to Bregenz's 1744th, and in their respective domestic leagues, they are ranked 21st and 23rd.

Zalgiris Vilnius has a significant advantage as the 2025 Lithuanian Premier League season continues regularly, allowing players to maintain their fighting spirit and match tempo. Furthermore, they have been showing improved form recently with two consecutive wins.
It's worth noting that before these two consecutive wins, Zalgiris Vilnius had gone seven consecutive matches without a win in all competitions, including two losses and five draws. Additionally, their home record isn't particularly strong, with only one win, one loss, and three draws in their last five home games.
At this crucial time, Zalgiris Vilnius faces a Hamrun Spartans team in relatively good form, with five wins, three draws, and only one loss in their last nine matches. However, that loss was at home.
