“If it snows in Flanders on Wednesday, 10 centimeters could easily fall,” said meteorologist Frank Deboosere. So the question is: what about the Croky Cup quarter-finals? Because that evening there are three cup matches scheduled: OH Leuven-Antwerp (6.30pm), Ostend-RWDM (8.00pm) and Brussels Union-Anderlecht derby (8.30pm). The decision will be made at the latest on Wednesday afternoon at 2.00 pm.

According to current weather information, there appears to be no problems for the Battle of Flanders between AA Gent and Club Brugge, which will be played on Tuesday at 8.45pm. The forecast for Wednesday is very uncertain. Furthermore, they vary depending on where the matches are held.
Three more quarter-finals are scheduled across the country on Wednesday: OH Leuven – Antwerp (6.30pm), Ostend – RWDM (8pm) and Brussels Union derby – Anderlecht (8.30pm).
Lega Pro informs our editorial staff that calendar director Nils Van Brantegem and RMI are in constant consultation on weather forecasts. “The safety of the fans will be taken into account in the decision. The ruling will be announced by Wednesday at 2pm, so that clubs and their fans are informed in time,” it said.
At Union, who had a warm-up on the pitch after promotion, they are prepared for the worst. Heating will be on all day and snow plows will be on hand for additional support. The Union also wants to pre-emptively clean the uncovered stands before the doors open and spray them. In early December, Union was caught in a snowstorm before the match against Cercle Brugge and the stands were very slippery. This time the Union wants to avoid it.
