1. FC Slovácko - FK Dukla Praha 

Miroslav Valenta City Football Stadium, Uherské Hradiště, Czech Republic

On Saturday, May 17, 2025, 1. FC Slovácko will face FK Dukla Praha in the 34th round of the Chance Liga. The duel between teams with completely different current forms promises an interesting confrontation.

  1. FC Slovácko haven't scored a single goal in the second consecutive game on the last Chance Liga matchday against Teplice and went goalless in six of the last nine league games. Slovácko have already played 16 goalless games this season, with only their first season (1995-96 as Slovácká Slavia Uherské Hradiště) having as many. The home team is thus going through a significant scoring crisis.

FK Dukla Praha have won their second Chance Liga game in a row on the last matchday against Mladá Boleslav, for the first time since October 2018. If Dukla manage to beat Slovácko as well, they will draw level with their two longest streaks of three consecutive games won in April 2012 and between November 2013 and February 2014. The Prague team is thus experiencing an unusually positive period.

  1. FC Slovácko remained goalless in the last Chance Liga clash against Teplice, although they fired nine shots and collected an Expected Goals (xG) value of 1.0. In this league season, only České Budějovice (-14.3) have a more negative xG difference than Slovácko (-9.8). This statistic indicates the significant inefficiency of the Moravian team in finishing.

FK Dukla Praha have scored at least two goals in four consecutive matches and recorded their joint-longest such streak in the Chance Liga along with August/September 2017. Only Sparta, Slavia (9 each), and Plzeň (6) have recorded longer runs with multiple goals scored in this Chance Liga season (Jablonec also 4). The Prague side thus excels in offensive productivity.

Rajmund Mikuš has recorded a direct goal involvement in his last three Chance Liga matches (2 goals, 1 assist). Mikuš is the only Dukla player this season to record a goal or assist in three consecutive matches. The Slovak midfielder thus represents the main offensive threat for the visiting team.

Saturday's duel in Uherské Hradiště thus promises an interesting confrontation between a home team struggling with finishing and a visiting side experiencing an offensive awakening and aiming for a third consecutive victory.

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...
