18 August 2025 Leeds United can rely on the defensive strength of new signing Anton Stach, who was among the most active tackling players in the Bundesliga last season. Only six players made more tackles than the German midfielder (66 – average 2.3 per 90 minutes), making him a key figure for disrupting opposition attacks in United's midfield. Everton brought in offensive power in the form of Thierno Barry, who averaged two fouls won per 90 minutes for Villarreal in LaLiga last season. The French striker also achieved an average of 2.8 shots per match, demonstrating his activity in the attacking third and ability to create shooting opportunities. Another important Everton player will be Iliman Ndiaye, who proved his versatility in last season's Premier League. The Senegalese midfielder averaged 1.9 fouls won per 90 minutes while also recording two tackles per match. He confirmed his consistency in defensive work by making at least two tackles in seven of his last 14 league ...

  May 11, 2025 FC Barcelona - Real Madrid  CF Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain On Sunday, May 11, 2025, another chapter of the world's most famous football rivalry will take place in Spanish LaLiga. FC Barcelona will welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou, with both teams having much to play for in this El Clásico. Barcelona have won their last three matches against Real Madrid in all competitions. Only once in the entire history of El Clásico, between 2008 and 2010 under Josep Guardiola (five), have the Blaugrana managed to win 4 or more consecutive matches. The Catalan side thus has a chance to join Guardiola's legendary team. However, Real Madrid have won four of their last five away matches against FC Barcelona in all competitions (1 loss), achieving the same number of victories as in their previous 19 visits to Barcelona (4 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses). Los Blancos have thus significantly improved their record at their arch-rival's ground. Barcelona have won all three of...

  May 10, 2025   Atlético de Madrid - Real Sociedad   Estadio Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain On Saturday, May 10, 2025, Atlético Madrid will face Real Sociedad in Spanish LaLiga. The Madrid side enters the match as a clear favorite, while the visitors from San Sebastián are struggling with a results crisis. Atlético de Madrid have not lost any of their last 10 LaLiga matches against Real Sociedad (6 wins, 4 draws), since a 0-2 defeat in September 2019. This is their longest unbeaten run against the Basque team in the competition since April 1976 (13 games: 8 wins, 5 draws). At home, Atlético's record is even more impressive. The Madrid side have not lost in their last 11 league matches against Real Sociedad (9 wins, 2 draws), since a 0-1 defeat in March 2013. In six of the last seven mutual duels at their stadium, "Los Colchoneros" have scored exactly two goals. However, Real Sociedad also has an interesting statistic. The Basque team has taken points in their last fiv...

  April 24, 2025 Club Atlético de Madrid -  Rayo Vallecano As the Madrid derby between Atlético Madrid and Rayo Vallecano approaches at the Metropolitano on Thursday, April 24, 2025, Diego Simeone's side looks to maintain their historical dominance while overcoming recent derby struggles. Atlético Madrid boasts an impressive 15-match unbeaten streak against their Madrid neighbors (12 wins, 3 draws), their longest such run against Rayo in LaLiga history. The Rojiblancos haven't tasted defeat against Rayo since February 2013, when they fell 1-2 at Vallecas. However, recent form suggests potential vulnerability for Simeone's men. Atlético have failed to win any of their last three LaLiga derbies (1 draw, 2 losses), suffering as many defeats in these three matches as they had in their previous 25 encounters against Madrid-based sides (14 wins, 9 draws, 2 losses). Their general form has also dipped lately, with Atlético losing three of their last six LaLiga matches (2 wins...

  April 24, 2025 CD Leganés - Girona FC As CD Leganés welcomes Girona FC to Butarque for their LaLiga Matchday 33 clash on Thursday, April 24, 2025, the hosts are attempting to break their historical drought against their Catalan visitors. The Madrid-based side has never tasted victory against Girona in LaLiga, failing to win any of their five previous encounters (2 draws, 3 losses). Girona represents one of just four top-flight opponents that Leganés have never defeated, alongside Real Madrid, Eibar, and Sporting Gijón. Even more concerning for the home fans, Leganés' struggles against Girona extend beyond LaLiga to all competitions, having never won in six home matches against them (3 draws, 3 losses) - including encounters in both LaLiga and LaLiga Hypermotion. Current form doesn't inspire much confidence for the hosts either. Leganés are enduring a six-match winless streak in LaLiga (2 draws, 4 losses), their second-longest such run this season after an eight-game dro...

  April 24, 2025 CA Osasuna vs Sevilla FC As CA Osasuna prepare to host Sevilla FC in LaLiga's Matchday 33 on Thursday, April 24, 2025, the home side enters the contest with history and momentum on their side. The Pamplona-based club has established an impressive unbeaten run against the Andalusian giants, not losing in their last six LaLiga encounters (2 wins, 4 draws). This represents Osasuna's longest unbeaten streak against Sevilla in top-flight football, a remarkable turnaround after having lost eight of their previous nine meetings. Current form also favors the hosts, who are enjoying a four-game unbeaten run in LaLiga (2 wins, 2 draws), including victories in their last two matches. A win on Thursday would give them three consecutive league victories for the first time since October 2021 under former manager Jagoba Arrasate. Leading Osasuna's charge is Croatian striker Ante Budimir, who has been in phenomenal form this season. With 18 goals in 32 LaLiga appear...

  April 19, 2025 FC Barelona - RC Celta de Vigo The historic Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys will host a fascinating LaLiga encounter this Saturday as FC Barcelona welcome RC Celta de Vigo in a fixture that has produced its fair share of surprises in recent years. Barcelona enter the match in imperious form, unbeaten in their last 12 LaLiga matches with 10 wins and 2 draws. The Catalan giants are one of only three teams across Europe's top five leagues to remain undefeated in 2025, alongside Paris Saint-Germain and Roma. This remarkable run has positioned them firmly in the title race as the season enters its critical final stretch. Despite their current momentum, Barcelona will be wary of a Celta side that has proven to be something of a thorn in their side over recent seasons. Since 2017-18, the Galician outfit has collected points in eight of their 15 meetings with the Blaugrana in LaLiga (3 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses). Only Real Madrid has managed to take points off Barcelona mo...

  RCD Espanyol - Getafe CF April 18, 2025 RCDE Stadium will host an intriguing LaLiga clash this Friday night as Espanyol's impressive home form comes up against Getafe's remarkable away record in what promises to be a fascinating tactical battle between two sides with contrasting fortunes on the road. The Periquitos enter the match riding a nine-game unbeaten streak at home in LaLiga (3 wins, 6 draws), the second-longest current run in the competition behind only Athletic Club (13 games). This fortress-like mentality at RCDE Stadium has been particularly evident in matches against Getafe, with Espanyol undefeated in their last seven home league encounters against the Madrid-based club (5 wins, 2 draws). What makes those five victories even more impressive is that Espanyol kept a clean sheet in each one, establishing their longest home winning run against Getafe in top-flight history. However, the visitors did claim a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season a...

  RC Celta de Vigo - UD Las Palmas March 31st, 2025 Celta Vigo has become a nightmare for Las Palmas in recent years. The Galicians have won five of their last six LaLiga encounters, while in the previous 16 matches they only managed to defeat the islanders four times. In their home fortress Balaídos, Celta is almost invincible against the Canaries - they've won 69.6% of all mutual home games (16 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses), which represents their best record against any opponent with more than 10 home matches in the history of the top flight. The current form of both teams clearly favors the hosts. Celta hasn't lost in six consecutive league games (4 wins, 2 draws) and has won the last two. If the Galicians win for a third time, they would record their longest winning streak since May 2021, when under Eduardo Coudet they managed to win five times in a row. Las Palmas, on the other hand, is experiencing a catastrophic 2025. They are the only team in the entire LaLiga that has...

THE CURSE OF THE GOALLESS STREAK: CAN OYARZABAL FINALLY BREAK HIS BAD LUCK AGAINST THE WORST DEFENDING TEAM OF THE CENTURY? Real Sociedad - Real Valladolid March 29th, 2025 Real Sociedad has failed to win any of their last three matches against Real Valladolid in LaLiga (1 draw, 2 losses) and has not managed to score in all three duels. This is the Basque club's worst streak without scoring against this opponent in the history of the competition. Real Valladolid has won three of their last seven away games against Real Sociedad in LaLiga (4 losses), including a victory on their last visit in February 2023 (1-0). That's more wins than they had previously achieved against Real Sociedad in all their away games combined (2 wins, 9 draws, 23 losses). Valladolid can also boast excellent results in the Basque Country in general. They have won two of their last three trips to this region (1 loss), which is the same number of wins as in their previous 20 away matches against Basque...
