We are approaching the end of the year and that is a good time to look back at how Dender, Beveren and Lokeren fared in 2025. And especially in the past few months, because they have been eventful for every team. Each in their own way. Football analyst Bart Van den Eede and Jaron Sertin discuss, among other things, the most successful transfers of each team, the best moments, but also the biggest setbacks and points for improvement. These areas for improvement are, as should be the case at the end of December, packaged in a Christmas gift.
