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...

CERRO LARGO RELIES ON HEADERS AGAINST BRAZILIAN DOMINANCE, VITÓRIA EXTENDS AWAY REVIVAL

  May 14, 2025 Cerro Largo FC -  EC Vitória Estadio Ubilla, Melo, Uruguay On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Uruguayan Cerro Largo will face Brazilian EC Vitória in the Copa Sudamericana. The match promises an interesting confrontation between teams with different playing styles and historical trends. Vitória has lost one of their last four away matches in CONMEBOL tournaments (1 win, 2 draws), after having fallen in six of the seven previous encounters they played away from home in these competitions. The Brazilian team has thus shown a significant improvement in their away form. Brazilian teams maintain an unbeaten streak of six consecutive matches without losing when visiting Uruguayan opponents in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, having won five of those encounters. The last home victory in this history dates back to May 2021, when Peñarol defeated Corinthians 4-0 in the group stage. Vitória can thus continue this impressive series of their compatriots. Cerro Largo is one of two...

GHOST STADIUM IN BERGAMO: WHERE HOME FANS HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT A GOAL LOOKS LIKE

  Atalanta - Bologna April 13th, 2025, 12:30 PM Sunday's midday duel will offer a clash between two teams in completely different form. While Bologna is experiencing one of the best seasons in its modern history, Atalanta is going through an extraordinary period of results crisis. Bologna has been almost unbeatable against Bergamo in recent years. The Rossoblù have not lost in their last four league matches against Atalanta (3 wins, 1 draw), while previously they had lost 13 of their previous 17 matches (2 wins, 2 draws). If the Emilians were to earn points this time, it would be only the second time in history that they would record five consecutive matches without defeat against the Bergamo team. They first managed this between February 1953 and May 1955 (4 wins, 1 draw). Moreover, Atalanta is significantly troubled by their home environment. The Nerazzurri are the only team from the upper half of the table that has not yet won a home match in 2025 (4 draws, 3 losses). In th...

KING OF AWAY PITCHES KLUIVERT ATTACKS RECORD! BOURNEMOUTH AIMS FOR ANOTHER 1-1 DRAW IN LONDON

  West Ham United – Bournemouth April 5th, 2025 London Stadium hosts a battle between two teams with opposing trends in home and away environments. West Ham has been struggling at their stadium recently, while Bournemouth is experiencing their historically best away season ever. The Hammers have lost three of their last four home Premier League matches, failing to score a single goal in each defeat. In total, they have drawn a blank at home six times this season, their worst record since the 2018-19 campaign. The last time they struggled to score goals at home more frequently was in the 2008-09 season, when they failed to find the net in eight cases. At the other end of the spectrum are Bournemouth's away performances. The Cherries have already collected a record 23 points on away grounds this season and, with 30 goals scored, have also broken their previous record in the top flight. Moreover, Bournemouth is a team that never experiences boring away matches - 67 consecutive du...
