After playing 15 matches, they have 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses, with a goal difference of 16:13, indicating solid defensive organization and moderate offense. Their form is positive, with several wins in the last rounds and increased confidence, especially at home.

Offensively, Constantine plays disciplined, focusing on controlling the game. The team is their main strength, with Dib and Mouaki leading the attack, but experience in the midfield is crucial.
At home, they have a strong performance and rarely lose, which is a significant advantage in cup matches. Their style of play is cautious and tactically mature.

ES Setif is currently in 13th place with 16 points and is having a season that is below expectations, showing significant fluctuations in their results.

Their form is unstable, with a mix of draws and losses in the league, although they have performed better in the cup.

Offensively, ES Setif struggles to maintain consistent pressure and often relies on set pieces, while their defense can falter under pressure. The team has experience in such knockout matches, but their current form does not inspire complete confidence. Their performances away from home are inconsistent. Their style of play is reactive and cautious.

At home, Constantine will seek to control the game and minimize risks, while ES Setif will try to stay solid and wait for their chance. A closed cup duel with few goals and a home victory is expected.

After playing 21 matches, they have 10 wins, no draws, and 11 losses, with a goal difference of 28:30. This indicates a team with noticeable ups and downs, but also the ability to earn points in streaks. Their form is inconsistent, with wins followed by losses, suggesting a lack of stable continuity.

Offensively, Venlo plays directly and with high intensity, often looking for quick solutions in the final moments. Van Zijl is their most effective scorer, with Triep and Zandbergen providing important support in the attack.

Their form has been negative, with more losses recently and inconsistent performances.

Away from home, they have 4 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses in 11 matches, with a goal difference of 20:23, indicating that despite their position, they can still be competitive. Their style of play is open but risky.
