AC Sparta Praha - SK Sigma Olomouc 

Letná Stadium, Prague

On Saturday, May 24, 2025, AC Sparta Praha will face SK Sigma Olomouc in the 35th round of the Chance Liga. The match offers a clash between two teams experiencing a significant results slump at the end of the season.

AC Sparta Praha have lost four league matches in a row for the first time in Czech league history and have also become the first team to lose the first four games of a championship round in a single season since its introduction in the 2018-19 season. The reigning champions are thus experiencing an unexpected collapse at the end of the season.

SK Sigma Olomouc have just one win in the last nine Chance Liga matches (D3 L5) and gained just six points in this timeframe – only České Budějovice have fewer points since matchday 26 (2; Mladá Boleslav also 6) in the Chance Liga. The Haná team is thus also going through a difficult period.

AC Sparta Praha have conceded two and more goals in the fourth successive game in the Chance Liga – they only once had such a long streak of games with 2+ goals conceded: nine matches between September and November 2005. The Letná defense is thus going through a critical period.

AC Sparta Praha have conceded in four consecutive first halves in the league (7 in total), last time having a clean sheet in the league at half-time in April against Pardubice. In all those games, Sparta also conceded the first goal, for the first time in four games in a row since April 2023 under Brian Priske. The reigning champions are thus regularly losing control of matches in the opening phase.

AC Sparta Praha are fifth in the table after their 2-3 loss on the last Chance Liga matchday against Baník – for Sparta, it's their lowest position in the table at this stage since they finished fifth in the 2017-18 season and overall only for the third time after 2005-06. The Letná side thus faces a real threat of their worst placement in recent years.

Saturday's duel at Letná thus offers an interesting confrontation between a home team in historic crisis and a visiting side that is also struggling with form. Sigma has an opportunity to deepen the reigning champion's misery even further, while Sparta can start a needed turnaround before the final round.

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...
