Breydelstadion on Sunday The hosts are yet to put a point on the board with two defeats while the visitors have taken one point from their two opening matches Cercle Brugge have enjoyed a brilliant ascent up the Belgian Pro League standings in recent campaigns finishing 16th in 2020-21 followed by 10th They had initially placed fifth last year in the pre-split season but managed to climb above Royal Antwerp and into fourth place securing a spot in the Europa League qualification this campaign Miron Muslic's side are already through to the third qualifying round of the Europa League after beating Kilmarnock 2-1 on aggregate in the second round but they now find themselves 3-0 down following a first-leg defeat to Molde That has not been the only disappointment for Muslic's men so far with Cercle Brugge also failing to record a point from their opening two matches in the league A home match against newly promoted Beerschot VA serves as a fantastic opportunity for the Green and Black to put their first points on the board and Muslic will be desperate for them to secure all three After being relegated from the top flight at the bottom of the table in 2021-22 Beerschot VA narrowly missed out on promotion at their first attempt before going up as champions last year Dirk Kuyt's side have had a difficult opening period upon their return to the Belgian Pro League drawing 0-0 with Oud-Heverlee Leuven in a game where they had just one shot and losing to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 3-1 last time out who has been in charge since December 2023 would have taken positives away from their defeat to USG with his side having six shots to their opponents' 10 a noticeable improvement from their opening match Beerschot VA are aiming solely to try and extend their stay in the Belgian Pro League this year and points against a Cercle Brugge side that are likely to finish higher up the table could prove crucial come the end of the season The hosts are expected to be without Ibrahim Diakite, Malamine Efekele and Nils De Wilde for this game as all three are set to continue their stay on the sidelines Thibo Somers has scored two of Cercle Brugge's three goals so far this season, and the attacker is anticipated to start alongside Felipe Augusto and Kazeem Olaigbe here The visitors will be without Ayouba Kosiah as the striker continues his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury he suffered in October, while Herve Matthys is also a doubt after coming off in the 8th minute of their defeat to USG Despite coming off with an injury in their opening game, Charly Keita was in the starting side last time out and found the net in the 48th minute Cercle Brugge possible starting lineup:Warleson; Ravych Beerschot Wilrijk possible starting lineup:Matijas; Konstantopoulos Despite a tough start to the 2024-25 season, Cercle Brugge's home advantage and stronger squad suggest they are likely to win this game against newly promoted Beerschot VA.For data

hold 12 suspects Officers of Antwerp's federal judicial police raided the premises that were being used as a warehouse together with specialised police units yesterday afternoon "The exact weight of

office investigators were able to arrest 11 suspects They will now have to appear before an examining judge Sciensano and the Institute of Tropical Medicine ( ITM) found the tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) in three locations (Lebbeke This means that the exotic mosquito successfully passed the winter at these locations The reports of the tiger mosquitoes were made by citizens through the MosquitoSurveillance website This highlights the importance of citizen contribution Sciensano is launching the 'Mosquito Surveillance' app citizens can now easily send in their photos of tiger mosquitoes from anywhere two citizens of the municipalities of Wilrijk and Lebbeke experienced nuisance from mosquitoes during the day and early evening They took a photo of the tiger mosquito and submitted it via the citizen science website MuggenSurveillance.be tiger mosquitoes were also collected through egg traps set on site specifically for tiger mosquito monitoring This confirmed the presence and reproduction of tiger mosquitoes at both sites entomologist at the Institute of Tropical Medicine "The detection of tiger mosquitoes in the two communities is consistent with the findings last year both adult mosquitoes and eggs were identified in exactly the same locations We can safely conclude from this that the tiger mosquito survived the winter in Wilrijk and Lebbeke That means we are now moving on to a new phase in the invasion process: settlement." tiger mosquitoes entered Belgium through traffic and imports of second-hand car tyres and lucky bamboo there was no evidence yet that they survived the winter This is the first time that surveillance shows the wintering of the tiger mosquito in Belgium favours the establishment of the tiger mosquito in our country As Wilrijk and Lebbeke are located in Flanders the Agency for Nature and Forests (ANB) is currently in charge of implementing the management measures the ANB is providing three control campaigns this year to eradicate local tiger mosquito populations in Wilrijk and Lebbeke Two of these campaigns have already taken place and the third is planned for the end of August 2023 Everyone can help stop the spread of the tiger mosquito This can be done by avoiding standing water around the home as much as possible This is because the tiger mosquito lays its eggs just above the water surface against the inner wall of objects with a small amount of standing water The MEMO+ project is a collaboration between Sciensano, the Institute of Tropical Medicine and the Barcoding Facility for Organisms and Tissues of Policy Concern (BopCo) for the molecular identification of exotic mosquitoes. This project is funded by the federal and regional governments and the federated entities Environment and Health through the National Environment-Health Action Plan (NEHAP).
