FK Teplice - 1. FC Slovácko 

Na Stínadlech Stadium, Teplice, Czech Republic

On Sunday, May 11, 2025, FK Teplice will face 1. FC Slovácko in the playoff round of the Chance Liga. The clash between teams from the relegation group promises an interesting confrontation of different seasonal trajectories and statistical peculiarities.

FK Teplice have won both games against Slovácko in this Chance Liga season. If the "Glassmakers" beat Slovácko in their playoff match, Slovácko will become only the second team that Teplice have defeated three times in a single Czech league season, after Slovan Liberec last season. For the North Bohemian club, this is an opportunity to achieve a rare historic hat-trick of wins against a single opponent.

  1. FC Slovácko have collected just 34 points in this Chance Liga season, which is the lowest at this stage since the league reform in the 2018-19 season. Nevertheless, Slovácko (4 wins, 3 draws) along with Mladá Boleslav (2 wins) are the only teams in the history of the relegation round without a single loss. This statistic shows a significant improvement in form for the Moravian side in the playoff phase.

Coach Zdenko Frťala fielded the youngest starting lineup in the history of the relegation round in the last Chance Liga matchday against Mladá Boleslav - players were on average 23 years and 90 days old. Furthermore, only Slovan Liberec has a younger starting eleven on average (24 years and 251 days) than Teplice (24 years and 324 days). The North Bohemian club is thus significantly betting on young players.

  1. FC Slovácko have alongside Mladá Boleslav experienced the highest drop in points per game in the first half of the season compared to their points per game in the league in 2025. Whereas in the autumn Slovácko collected 1.3 points per game, now it's just 0.7, with the difference of -0.6 being the highest in the league along with Boleslav.

FK Teplice fired 10 shots in the last Chance Liga match against Mladá Boleslav, of which only three went on target. Slovácko hit the target with even just one of their 16 shots against Budějovice. Only České Budějovice (30.3%) have lower shooting accuracy in the league in 2025 than Teplice (36.1%) and Slovácko (37.1%).

Sunday's duel at Na Stínadlech Stadium thus offers an interesting battle between teams struggling with shooting efficiency, but going through different developmental phases - Teplice is betting on a young squad and can achieve a historic hat-trick of wins, while Slovácko is experiencing seasonal fluctuations but has not yet tasted defeat in the playoff 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...
