The final Croky Cup quarter-final for 2025-26 sees Anderlecht and Gent face off in an intriguing contest tomorrow evening.
Anderlecht were beaten finalists last year, losing 2-1 to fierce rivals Club Brugge. That result means it is closing in on 20 years since the Purple & White lifted the trophy, their most recent success coming way back in 2008.

So, here is our full preview for Anderlecht vs Gent in the Croky Cup, complete with the latest football odds to help you craft a bet online.
Anderlecht vs Gent Preview
The winter break arguably came at a good time for Anderlecht, as their previous fixture saw them lose 2-1 at home to Charleroi.
It is now just one win in four Pro League matches for Hasi’s men, a run which started with a devastating 4-0 loss at Westerlo.
Anderlecht were also far from convincing in the last 16 of this competition, eventually recording a 3-1 victory at Genk after extra-time.
Adriano Bertaccini’s 82nd-minute equaliser could prove to be a pivotal moment in the season come May, with Thorgan Hazard also among the scorers that day.
Like Anderlecht, Gent only mustered one win in four matches prior to the winter break, although that run did include trips to both Union Saint-Gilloise and Club Brugge – the top two in the Pro League.
In the last 16, Gent got the better of Cercle Brugge, eventually claiming a 3-1 away victory despite having less of the ball and fewer shots on goal.
These two sides came face-to-face back in September, with Anderlecht recording a 1-0 triumph on home soil thanks to a strike from Mario Stroeykens.
Anderlecht have won five of the last six editions of this fixture, and earned a 1-0 success at Gent last April.
