Although several conditions still have to be met, the curtain could fall on the Belgian title battle on Sunday. RSC Anderlecht could become champions on their own field against eternal rival Club Brugge. A crucial match that requires a lot of safety measures.
Last season, the title battle finally came to an end on the final day of the Champions’ Play-Offs. There is a good chance that this will be the case again in the current season. But for the same money, Anderlecht can already seize the title next Sunday. Certain conditions must then be met.
First of all, the Purple & White must hope that Union SG drops points against Cercle Brugge earlier in the day. If the Unionists win, the decision will only be made on the final match day. However, if Groen-Zwart can pull off another stunt, Anderlecht will get its first ‘match ball’. But even in that case, only a win against Club Brugge is enough.
Very high risk
Moreover, things could still go completely wrong for RSCA. If Union wins against Cercle and Club scores a three-point goal in the Lotto Park, the Purple & White will have to start the final day in third place. In any case, Anderlecht no longer has its fate in its own hands in the event of a defeat. In any scenario, it promises to be a turbulent evening in Brussels.
The local law enforcement agencies are therefore busy taking the necessary security measures. And on Thursday, the ‘South’ police zone unsurprisingly announced that Sunday’s top match is considered a match with ‘very high risk’. This assessment is of course not without consequences.
Even fewer Bruges fans
A large number of men will be mobilized to ensure everything runs smoothly. In addition, certain restrictions were also imposed. It was previously announced that RSCA will keep the lower part of the visitors’ section closed for safety reasons. As a result, only 900 Bruges supporters would be admitted. That number has now been reduced even further to 850 visiting fans. “In order for the various supporters to be able to attend the match in the safest conditions, the number of visitors allowed to Club Brugge will be limited,” the police zone said.
