FK Mladá Boleslav - FK Dukla Praha 

Lokotrans Arena, Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic

On Sunday, May 11, 2025, FK Mladá Boleslav will face FK Dukla Praha in the playoff round of the Chance Liga. The clash between two teams from the relegation group offers a meeting of different forms and an opportunity to achieve interesting milestones.

FK Mladá Boleslav have won their last two Chance Liga games and now have a chance to win three consecutive games for the second time this season. If they win, Mladá Boleslav would become only the second team in history to win the first three games in the relegation round after Pardubice did so in the 2021-22 season. For the Central Bohemian club, this is an opportunity to write themselves into the history of the competition.

FK Dukla Praha have lost just three matches in the spring part of this Chance Liga season. Only three clubs have lost fewer matches in the league in 2025: Slavia (1), Baník and Jablonec (2 each). Dukla have collected the most points among teams in the relegation group in 2025 (16; 3 wins, 7 draws, 3 losses). The Prague team is thus surprising with their spring form.

FK Dukla Praha scored two goals in each of the last three Chance Liga matches after having scored multiple goals in just two of all previous games this season. For Dukla, it's their longest such streak since they scored two goals in each of four league games between August and September 2017.

FK Dukla Praha also kept their seventh clean sheet in the Chance Liga in 2025 in the last encounter against Pardubice (2-0). Only Slavia have more clean sheets in the second half of the league season (9), with Baník having as many (7). Dukla have overall 10 clean sheets this season, last having so many in the 2014-15 season.

Denis Kaulfus scored his debut goal in the Chance Liga when he came on the pitch as a substitute in the last matchday against Teplice. For Mladá Boleslav, it's already the 13th goal by a substitute in this Chance Liga season, with no team having as many goals from bench players.

Sunday's duel at Lokotrans Arena thus promises an interesting confrontation between Mladá Boleslav, who can achieve a historic hat-trick of wins in the playoff round, and Dukla, who are surprising with their spring form, offensive productivity, and defensive stability.

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

  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...
