FC Hradec Králové - Bohemians Praha 1905 

Malšovická Arena, Hradec Králové

On Sunday, May 18, 2025, FC Hradec Králové will face Bohemians Praha 1905 in the 34th round of the Chance Liga and the second round of the midfield playoffs. The match offers a clash between two teams with good results in the playoff stage.

FC Hradec Králové have now won eight games in midfield playoffs with only Mladá Boleslav winning more (10) since its introduction in the 2018-19 season. Hradec have also scored in the last eight games in midfield playoffs, and if they manage to score against Bohemians, they will draw level with the longest scoring streak in playoffs held by Mladá Boleslav from May 2019/July 2020 (9 games). The East Bohemian side thus has a significant milestone within reach.

Bohemians Praha 1905 have reached the second round also in their second Chance Liga midfield playoff they have played. Only Hradec Králové and Mladá Boleslav have progressed to the second round more often (3x). The Prague side thus confirms their quality even in the playoff stage of the competition.

FC Hradec Králové have kept two clean sheets in a row for the first time this season and for the first time since last season's midfield playoffs second round against Teplice. Hradec now have six clean sheets in midfield playoffs since its introduction in the 2018-19 season, with only Mladá Boleslav having more (7). The home team thus benefits from solid defensive work.

For the fourth time in this Chance Liga season, five Hradec Králové players recorded a direct goal involvement in a single game (never more). Still, Hradec have (16) after České Budějovice (15) the fewest players with at least one direct goal involvement in this Chance Liga season. The offensive power of the home team is thus concentrated among a narrower group of players.

Adam Vlkanova scored his third goal from outside the box in the last Chance Liga matchday against Karviná, with no player having as many in the league after the winter break. Vlkanova has already scored seven goals this season, and among all 19 players with at least that number of strikes, no player has such a high proportion of goals from distance (42.9%). Hradec's midfielder thus represents a specific threat to the visiting defense.

Sunday's duel at Malšovická Arena thus promises an interesting battle between the home team, which is striving to match a historical record, and the visiting side, which confirms its qualities in the playoff stage.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
