GV San José - Fluminense

On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Bolivian GV San José will face Brazilian Fluminense in a return match of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. The duel offers an interesting confrontation between teams with different playing styles and a specific history of mutual encounters.

Fluminense has won five of their seven games against Bolivian opposition in CONMEBOL competitions, including the crushing 5-0 victory over GV San José in the first phase of the group in 2025. However, the Brazilians should be cautious – the Bolivians managed to defeat "Flu" in the remaining two matches, both of which were played on home soil.

The "Tricolor" from Rio de Janeiro is experiencing their longest unbeaten run away from home in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana (4 matches, 2 wins, 2 draws), equaling a similar streak from 2009 (2 wins, 2 draws). Fluminense will be looking to extend this streak to five matches for the first time in the club's history in this tournament.

The Brazilian side's playing style is remarkable. Only 8.3% of Fluminense's passes in the 2025 Sudamericana have been long, the lowest percentage of any team in the group stage. The only other club below the 10% threshold in this regard is Cruzeiro (8.8%).

The Brazilian team also excels in squad rotation. Fluminense has used 30 different players during the current CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2025 group stage, at least six more than any other team in this phase of the competition.

Individual statistics are also interesting. Two of the three players with the most long ball carries (over 10 meters) in the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage play for Fluminense: Kevin Serna (19) and Keno (15).

Thursday's match in the challenging high-altitude conditions of Bolivia will be a test for the Brazilian visitors, but also an opportunity to achieve a historic record of five away games without defeat in this competition. GV San José, on the other hand, will rely on home advantage and previous successes when they managed to defeat the Brazilian side on their turf.

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...
