Prediction Tubize vs Union Saint-Gilloise 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Belgian Cup on 29/10/2025

Match preview: Cup fever at Stade Leburton

The Belgian Cup arrives in Tubize with a mouth-watering Round of 32 tie as home side Tubize welcome Union Saint-Gilloise to Stade Leburton on 29 October 2025. There is a real narrative to savour: Tubize arrive unbeaten and brimming with confidence after an impressive run in the First Amateur Division, while Union Saint-Gilloise comes off a solid league win at Sint-Truiden but with some worrying heavy defeats earlier in their recent schedule. The stage is set for a classic cup test — a lower-tier side riding wave after wave of momentum against a club used to tougher opposition and occasional flashes of inconsistency.

Form, recent results and the psychological edge

Tubize’s recent results read like a team on a mission. They have recorded a series of wins including a 2-0 victory over Excelsior Virton on 25 October and a dominant 4-0 home display earlier in the month. The string W-W-D-W-W-W-W-W-W-W underlines a side that defends well and finds the net regularly; their form summary shows nine wins and a single draw from the latest sequence. That kind of consistency at home, in front of a modest but passionate crowd at a stadium of 8,100, gives them a tangible psychological edge — particularly in a one-off knockout tie where belief can be the difference.

Union Saint-Gilloise are not in poor shape but arrive with a more jagged recent record. While they secured a 2-0 win against Sint-Truiden on 26 October — a performance highlighted by Kevin Rodríguez’s 8.45 rating — their schedule also features heavy 0-4 defeats against higher-level opponents. Those results suggest a squad capable of blowing teams away on their day but also vulnerable to lapses against superior firepower. In a neutral assessment, Union’s cup trip to Tubize is not a guaranteed stroll; the visitors will have to manage the rhythm of the game and the hostility of the smaller ground.

Prediction and betting insight

This cup tie has the feel of a night where momentum and home advantage could tilt the balance. Tubize have been relentless at this level, feeding off confidence and a settled run of results. Union Saint-Gilloise, despite occasional impressive displays, have shown enough fragility in recent heavy losses to suggest they could be vulnerable to a resilient, counter-punching home side.
