  May 12, 2025   Venezia FC - ACF Fiorentina   Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, Venice, Italy On Monday, May 12, 2025, Venezia will face Fiorentina in Italian Serie A. The clash between teams with different ambitions promises an interesting confrontation based on remarkable head-to-head statistics. Venezia have avoided defeat in five of their last eight Serie A matches against Fiorentina – four wins, one draw, and three defeats – after suffering eight defeats in their previous nine league meetings (1 win). The "Lagunari" have thus significantly improved their record against this traditional opponent in recent times. Venezia have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four league matches against Fiorentina, including the reverse fixture (0-0). It's one more shutout than the Venetians managed in all of their previous 23 encounters against the Viola in Serie A. Fiorentina are the side against which Venezia have won the most home games in Serie A: eight out of a total of 13 (...

  May 11, 2025   Udinese Calcio - AC Monza Bluenergy Stadium, Udine, Italy On Sunday, May 11, 2025, Udinese will face Monza in the 36th round of Italian Serie A. The clash between teams battling in the lower part of the table offers interesting statistical connections and the possibility of extending several streaks. Udinese are unbeaten in their last five matches against Monza in Serie A (2 wins, 3 draws). Only against Pescara (eight), Alessandria (six), and Pisa (six) have the Bianconeri played more games without losing in the competition. Udinese and Monza have both drawn the Bianconeri's home games in Serie A: 2-2 in April 2023, 0-0 in February 2024. Against no team have the Brianzoli drawn three away matches in the competition so far. After a run of five defeats in a row, Udinese have earned four points in their last two Serie A games. The Bianconeri have failed to score in five of their last seven matches, as many as they did in their previous 23 league meetings. ...

  May 10, 2025 SS Lazio - Juventus  FC Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy On Saturday, May 10, 2025, Lazio Rome will face Juventus Turin in the 36th round of Italian Serie A. The clash between two traditional rivals promises an interesting confrontation between teams that are currently level on points. Juventus are the team with the most wins against Lazio in Serie A history: 87 victories compared to 36 triumphs for the Biancocelesti (38 draws). Overall, the only side defeated more times by a single opponent in the top flight are Inter (88 times by Juventus). However, Lazio have won two Serie A home games in a row against Juventus for the first time since 2001 and could win three successive home matches against the Bianconeri for the first time since May 1956. For the Roman side, this is an opportunity to achieve a historic record. Lazio have never repeated the same result across their last 10 Serie A games (4 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss). In the top flight this season already once...

  May 9, 2025   AC Milan -Bologna  FC Stadio San Siro, Milan, Italy On Friday, May 9, 2025, AC Milan will face Bologna in Italian Serie A. The clash between a traditional powerhouse and this season's surprise package promises an interesting confrontation between teams with different ambitions and historical statistics. After a run of 13 wins and four draws against Bologna, Milan lost their most recent league match against them in February. The Rossoblu (Bologna) last won both games against the Rossoneri (Milan) in a single Serie A season back in the distant 1939-40 campaign and now have a chance to repeat this historic achievement after 85 years. Milan have drawn two of their last three home games in Serie A against Bologna (1 win), as many draws as across their previous 16 matches at San Siro in the competition against this opponent (11 wins, 3 losses). The Rossoneri have won their last two Serie A matches and will be looking to win three in succession for just the...

  April 21, 2025 The vibrant Unipol Domus stadium in Sardinia will host an intriguing Easter Monday clash as a revitalized Cagliari welcome Fiorentina in a fixture that has historically favored the home side, despite recent trends suggesting otherwise. Claudio Ranieri's Cagliari enter the match with renewed confidence following their emphatic 3-0 victory over Monza in their last home outing. That result has given the Rossoblu a golden opportunity to secure consecutive home wins for the first time since October-November 2023, while also potentially achieving back-to-back home clean sheets for the first time since April 2017. "We've worked hard to rebuild our home fortress," said the veteran Italian coach. "The atmosphere at Unipol Domus gives us energy, and the players feel that responsibility to perform for our supporters. Against Fiorentina, we need to show the same determination we displayed against Monza." The Sardinians have reason to believe they c...

  April 20, 2025 Empoli - Venezia The Stadio Carlo Castellani will host a crucial Easter Sunday relegation clash as struggling Empoli welcome a Venezia side fresh off their first win in 15 attempts. With both teams desperately fighting to avoid the drop, this historically high-scoring fixture could prove pivotal in the battle for Serie A survival. History suggests we're in for a goal-fest in Tuscany. In the nine previous encounters between these sides at Empoli's home ground across Serie A and Serie B, both teams have scored in every single match. These fixtures have produced a remarkable 35 goals at an average of 3.9 per game – making it one of the most reliable fixtures for entertainment in Italian football. Venezia hold an unusual distinction as one of Empoli's bogey teams. The Lagunari have never lost against the Tuscans in Serie A, with two wins and three draws from their five top-flight meetings. This psychological edge could prove crucial as both sides enter the ...

  April 19, 2025 Lece - Como The Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce will witness on Saturday a clash between two teams with dramatically different current form. The home side Lecce, sliding down the table after a series of failures, hosts an in-form Como team that could achieve a historic milestone. Head-to-head statistics strongly favor the visitors. Como has never lost to Lecce in Serie A history, representing the Lariani's longest unbeaten streak against any opponent in Italy's top flight. In five previous encounters, Como has recorded four victories and one draw. On Lecce's ground, the visitors have played two matches – winning convincingly 4-1 in 1985 and drawing 0-0 in their most recent duel in 1989. "History is interesting, but matches are won on the pitch, not in statistical tables," cautions Como manager Cesc Fàbregas. "Lecce is a quality team going through a difficult period. That can make them even more dangerous. We're focusing on our game and w...

  Cruzeiro v Bahia April 17, 2025 The historic Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte will host a compelling Brazilian Série A clash this Thursday as Cruzeiro welcome Bahia in a matchup that has historically favored the home side. Cruzeiro's dominance on home soil against the Tricolor has been remarkable, with the Raposa scoring in each of their last 17 home games against Bahia in the Brasileirão Série A. This impressive scoring run has translated into 11 wins, 5 draws, and just a single defeat – a 2-1 reverse back in 2013. The hosts' comfort at Mineirão extends beyond just matches against Bahia. In their last three Brasileirão Série A campaigns (2019, 2023, and 2024), Cruzeiro won their first two home games of each season. The pattern appears to be continuing in 2025, with the Raposa already securing a 2-1 victory against Mirassol in their home opener. "Our supporters create an incredible atmosphere at Mineirão," said Cruzeiro's coach. "We feel their energy...
