Due to a source of contamination within the core of Westerlo, the league matches against KMSK Deinze (match day 4), Club NXT (match day 5) and RWDM (match day 6) were successively canceled. These will be made up on Monday October 26, Saturday November 14 (during the international break) and Monday November 9 respectively.
“As a result, the teams will have an equal number of games played again within the fastest possible time”, said Van Brantegem, who ensured that Westerlo had to rest for two days each time before a make-up match after a previously planned game. On match days 8 and 10, the Kemphanen was awarded the Friday evening game.
In order to give AA Gent “the necessary rest” after the Europa League match against the Czech Liberec (22 October), their game will be moved from the tenth matchday (against KRC Genk) to Monday (26 October).
The same applies to the match Antwerp-OHL (Monday, November 30) on the fourteenth match day, after the transfer to LASK (November 26) in the Europa League. The Pro League responded to the request of both clubs.
In addition, the starting time RSC Anderlecht-OHL (October 18) was brought forward by 15 minutes to 8.30 pm in order not to interfere with the early closing time of the catering industry in the Brussels Region. Throughout the region, cafes have to close at 11pm as a corona measure.
