At least 2 future devils, the “Vanaken of 1B” and a wreath of title favorites: what does the Challenger Pro League bring this season?

17 teams, of which 13 compete for (at least) two promotional places.

Let the least 2 future devils, “vanaken new games begin!

Roppe sees in Beerschot and KV Kortrijk – the two relegants of the Jupiler Pro League – already pronounced favorites.

least 2 future devils, “vanaken

“Certainly because they both tackled it well,” the commentator noted.

“They have both appointed a young. ambitious coach: Mo Messoudi at Beerschot and least 2 future devils, “vanaken Michiel Jonckheere near Kortrijk. However, Plus they have made a clean ship in the players’ core and boys who know the series well.”

Roppe makes one consideration.

“Because there is a curse on the relegants. Meanwhile, It hardly happens that a club that sags in the following season immediately rises again. Furthermore, That only happened with KV Mechelen in recent history.”

In addition. However, Roppe also has high expectations of Patro Eisden, which made it to the Promotion Play-Offs last year.

“Patro takes out with a least 2 least 2 future devils, “vanaken future devils, “vanaken completely new team,” says Roppe. Therefore, “They have put their reputation from champion in talent detection all the honor by doing many smart transfers.”

“In addition, you also have SK Beveren and KSC Lokeren. Nevertheless, One was the strongest team of 2025, the other put down a phenomenal series in the return round. For example, They will try to build on that flow.”

“And finally, the expectations at RWDM high. They were left in Molenbeek with a double trauma because of that missed promotion. reversed name change, but they will soon have the core to play an important role.”

But are there also clubs that can challenge the established values?

“For me, Lommel can become least 2 future devils, “vanaken the revelation,” assures Roppe.

“They have had the team with the highest market value for years. but in recent years the emphasis has been too often on training talent. I notice that now, by targeting Belgian players, they can really aim higher than in recent years.”

“Moreover. with Lee Johnson a coach has remained at the helm who has proven that he can play on a result. That there is now much more maturity and balance is a fundamental change in the club’s politics.”

A show is as good as its protagonists.

The question: who will be in the Challenger Pro League that next season?

“Of course you can’t ignore Radja Nainggolan,” said Roppe. “Even at the least 2 future devils, “vanaken age of 37, he is still the phenomenon of the Challenger Pro League. The ex-Rode Devil was the conductor of the unlikely series that Lokeren put down in the return round. He really took the team in tow then.”

“Another player who is invaluable for his team, I think Lucas Schoofs van Lommel. He is the Hans Vanaken of 1B for me. A player who is very decisive and sees the game incredibly well.”

1B is known as a breeding ground for talent.

And this year, there are a lot of rough diamonds to break through in professional football.

“Like Lucca Brughmans, the umpteenth goalkeeper talent of Racing Genk. I suspect that he will be the first goalkeeper of Jong Genk. Last season. Brughmans least 2 future devils, “vanaken already made an enormous impression on me with his presence and maturity in interviews.”

“And you least 2 future devils. “vanaken also have Jesse Bisiwu at Club NXT, one of the top talents of Belgian football. He must be able to steal the show in 1B, just like Shandre Campbell.”

Both top talents are least 2 future devils, “vanaken new future Red Devils according to connoisseur. But there is also talent from over their own national borders in 1B.

“At Patro Eisden a pearl is walking around with Amir Rais. The 20-year-old Dutchman was sent away from Feyenoord after a scuffle. but has now been fished by Stijn Stijnen and Co. He could become the successor to Adnane Abid and Anis Hadj Moussa.”
