2010-11 Pro League belga

108th season of top-tier football in Belgium

Football league season

La temporada 2010-11 de la Pro League belga (también conocida como Jupiler Pro League por motivos de patrocinio) es la temporada 108 del fútbol de primer nivel en Bélgica . Comenzó el 30 de julio de 2010 con el primer partido de la temporada regular y finalizó en mayo de 2011 con los últimos partidos de las rondas de playoffs. Anderlecht eran los campeones defensores.

Cambios de 2009 a 2010

Por segunda vez, se utilizó un sistema de playoffs para determinar los campeones belgas (disputados por los 6 mejores equipos después de la temporada regular) y qué equipos jugarían en Europa la temporada siguiente (equipos clasificados del 7 al 14 en los playoffs después de la temporada regular con el ganador ingresa a un nuevo playoff para tener la oportunidad de "robar" el lugar europeo del equipo peor clasificado en el playoff entre los 6 mejores). En términos de descenso, se introdujo un desempate entre los equipos 15 y 16 después de la temporada regular; Esos equipos se enfrentarían 5 veces en una miniliga, y el equipo que terminara decimoquinto jugaría en casa en los partidos 1, 3 y 5 y comenzaría con una bonificación de 3 puntos. El perdedor de esta serie de playoffs descendería, mientras que el ganador jugaría el playoff de descenso de Segunda división con tres equipos de la Segunda División belga para tener la oportunidad de conservar su lugar en primera división. ^[9]

equipos

El 28 de diciembre de 2009, durante la temporada anterior , Mouscron quebró y descendió inmediatamente. Roeselare terminó la temporada en el puesto 15, lo que le obligó a participar en los playoffs de descenso . Como perdieron estos playoffs, también descendieron y fueron reemplazados por los ganadores de los playoffs, Eupen . Con esto, Eupen se convirtió en el primer equipo de la comunidad alemana en jugar al más alto nivel del fútbol belga. Anteriormente, el Lierse, campeón de la Segunda División belga, había ascendido directamente.

Posiciones por ronda

Nota: La clasificación se realizó después del fin de semana (o entre semana) de cada jornada, por lo que los partidos aplazados sólo se procesaron en el momento en que se jugaron para representar la evolución real de la clasificación. Los partidos aplazados son:

• Jornada 15: Eupen vs. Mechelen del 13 de noviembre por culpa del campo inundado, que se jugará el 18 de enero entre las jornadas 22 y 23. ^[40]
• Jornada 17: Kortrijk vs. Lokeren del 27 de noviembre por exceso de lluvia y nieve, que se jugará el 18 de enero entre las jornadas 22 y 23. ^[41]
• Jornada 18: Charleroi vs. Cercle Brugge y Lierse vs. Mechelen del 4 de diciembre por culpa de la nieve. El partido Lierse vs. Mechelen se jugará el 15 de febrero entre las jornadas 27 y 28, ^{[42] [43]} mientras que el 21 de diciembre (entre las jornadas 20 y 21) el partido Charleroi vs. Cercle Brugge obtuvo un 0-5. victoria al Círculo de Brujas, ya que Charleroi no "hizo todo lo posible para permitir que se jugara el partido". ^[44] El 17 de marzo, apenas dos días antes de la última jornada, se revoca la decisión, ya que Charleroi había presentado una denuncia ante el BAS. BAS significa Tribunal Belga de Arbitraje Deportivo, que es la versión belga del Tribunal de Arbitraje Deportivo . ^[45] Como resultado de esta decisión, Charleroi recuperó la oportunidad de evitar el playoff de descenso, ya que estaba a sólo cinco puntos del puesto 14, con dos partidos por jugar. Más tarde ese día, se toma la decisión de jugar el partido el 23 de marzo, lo cual no es convencional ya que significa que no todos los equipos jugarán su último partido al mismo tiempo. ^[46]
• Jornada 20: Lokeren-Cercle Brugge y Sint-Truiden-Mechelen del 18 de diciembre fueron cancelados debido a demasiadas zonas de hielo y/o nieve en el campo. ^{[47] [48]} El partido entre Lokeren y Cercle Brugge fue reprogramado para jugarse el 2 de febrero, entre las jornadas 24 y 25. ^[49] El 28 de diciembre (entre las jornadas 21 y 22), Mechelen obtuvo una victoria por 0-5 como Sint-Truiden no proporcionó condiciones de juego adecuadas, ^[50] sin embargo, Sint-Truiden presentó cargos por trato injusto. El club tuvo razón ante los tribunales y, como resultado, el forfait se anuló el 25 de enero (entre las jornadas 23 y 24) y el partido se repitió el 23 de febrero (entre las jornadas 27 y 28). ^[51] El partido Germinal Beerschot – Gent del 19 de diciembre se detuvo después de 10 minutos con un marcador de 0-0 debido a una nevada excesiva, ^[52] se repetirá el 16 de febrero, entre las jornadas 26 y 27. ^[49]
• Matchday 21: With the whole of Belgium suffering from excessive snow, several matches were cancelled, mostly because it was too dangerous to send thousands of supporters out on the slippery roads. Eupen vs. Zulte-Waregem, Charleroi vs. Germinal Beerschot, Westerlo vs. Lokeren^[53] and Mechelen vs. Kortrijk of 26 December were thus cancelled.^[54] The derby between Genk and Sint-Truiden of the 27th was also postponed.^[55] All of these matches were rescheduled to be played on 2 February, between matchdays 24 and 25, except Westerlo vs. Lokeren which was rescheduled to 16 February, between matchdays 26 and 27.^[49]
• Matchday 22: With a lot of roads still slippery in the south and east of Belgium, two more matches are cancelled: Standard vs. Mechelen of 29 December^[56] and Sint-Truiden vs. Cercle Brugge of 30 December.^[57] Both matches have been rescheduled to be played between matchdays 27 and 28, on 26 and 27 February respectively.^[49]

Legend: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win.
Notes:

1. Match originally awarded to Cercle Brugge as a 0–5 victory, as Charleroi did not provide proper playing conditions. Later this decision was undone after appeal from Charleroi.

Championship playoff

The points obtained during the regular season will be halved (and rounded up) before the start of the playoff. As a result, the teams started with the following points before the playoff: Anderlecht 33 points, Genk 32, Gent 29, Club Brugge 27, Lokeren 25 and Standard 25.5. In the event of ties at the end of the playoffs, the half point was deducted if it had been added. Anderlecht, Gent, Club Brugge and Standard received this type of bonus due to rounding.

Westerlo won 5–2 on aggregate.

Testmatches Europa League

The fourth-placed team from the championship playoff and the winners of the Europa League playoff would have competed for one spot in the third qualifying round of the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League.^[59]

Before the match, both teams were already sure of qualification for European football. Westerlo because their opponent in the final of the 2010–11 Belgian Cup was Standard Liège, who were already qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League. Club Brugge because of their league position (4th). As a result, both teams agreed to drop the testmatches regardless of the result of the Belgian Cup final:

• Because Standard won the Belgian cup, Anderlecht will enter the Play-off round and Westerlo agreed to start in the Second qualifying round, giving Club Brugge the ticket to the Third qualifying round.

Relegation playoff

The teams finishing in the last two positions play each other 5 times. The team ending in 15th position starts with a three-point bonus and has three home matches.

Notes:

1. Match not played as Charleroi could no longer overtake Eupen in the standings.

Top goalscorers

In contrary to the previous season, which was the inaugural season with playoffs, the goals scored during the playoffs are valid to determine the league top scorer. As a result, Jelle Vossen, who was leading at the end of the regular season with 17 goals, still missed out on the top scorers' trophy.
