Waregem plays against KV Mechelen on Thursday in the first match of the Cup semi-finals. Coach Mbaye Leye is already dreaming of a spot in the final. Leye said he won the Cup three times as a player with AA Gent, Standard, and Zulte Waregem. The coach wants to secure a good starting position for the return match. It's a unique chance for both teams to reach the final again. Leye's team is currently 16th in the Jupiler Pro League with 20 points from 23 matches and will have to work hard to stay in the league next season. The other semi-final is between Belgian top teams Royale Union Saint Gilloise and Royal Antwerp FC. Waregem's performances in the Cup have been good so far, but the team is struggling in the Jupiler Pro League. Leye is aware that the draw is relatively favorable. The coach hopes his team can secure a good starting position for the return match. Waregem's chance of reaching the final is big, but the team first has to get past KV Mechelen.
