  May 9, 2025   UD Las Palmas - Rayo Vallecano Estadio de Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Spain On Friday, May 9, 2025, UD Las Palmas will face Rayo Vallecano in the 35th round of Spanish La Liga. The clash between mid-table teams offers interesting statistical trends and a potential historic achievement for the Madrid-based side. UD Las Palmas have won their last two La Liga matches against Rayo Vallecano, the first time they have won two consecutive matches against the red-and-white team in the top flight. On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano have won their last three La Liga away matches against UD Las Palmas, keeping a clean sheet in all three. If the Madrid side wins again on Friday without conceding a goal, they would become the first team in the entire history of the competition to win four consecutive away matches against the Canary Islands side without conceding. Rayo Vallecano have won 57% of their away matches against UD Las Palmas in La Liga (4 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses)...

  May 8, 2025   Atlético Nacional - Internacional   Estadio Atanasio Girardot, Medellín, Colombia On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Colombian side Atlético Nacional will face Brazilian Internacional in the fourth round of the CONMEBOL Libertadores group stage. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation. Internacional did not concede a goal during their first visit to Atlético Nacional in the CONMEBOL Libertadores - the match in 1993 ended in a 0-0 draw. Among teams that have visited the "Verdolaga" more than once in this tournament, none have managed to keep a clean sheet in all matches. Atlético Nacional won their last home match in the CONMEBOL Libertadores 3-0 against Uruguayan Nacional. The last time the Colombian side won consecutive home matches in this tournament was in a series of four victories between February 2019 and April 2021. Internacional has lost only one of their last nine away matches in the CONMEBOL Liberta...

  May 8, 2025 GV San José - Fluminense On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Bolivian GV San José will face Brazilian Fluminense in a return match of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. The duel offers an interesting confrontation between teams with different playing styles and a specific history of mutual encounters. Fluminense has won five of their seven games against Bolivian opposition in CONMEBOL competitions, including the crushing 5-0 victory over GV San José in the first phase of the group in 2025. However, the Brazilians should be cautious – the Bolivians managed to defeat "Flu" in the remaining two matches, both of which were played on home soil. The "Tricolor" from Rio de Janeiro is experiencing their longest unbeaten run away from home in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana (4 matches, 2 wins, 2 draws), equaling a similar streak from 2009 (2 wins, 2 draws). Fluminense will be looking to extend this streak to five matches for the first time in the club's history in...

  Deportivo Alavés - Real Madrid CF April 13th, 2025 Molinón in Basque Vitoria will host a clash between two teams with different ambitions on Sunday. The home team Alavés is fighting for a comfortable mid-table position, while Real Madrid needs every point in the battle for the league title. Deportivo Alavés has one of the worst historical records against Real Madrid of all LaLiga teams. From 37 mutual matches in the top flight, the Basques have managed to win only four times (2 draws, 31 losses). However, two of these triumphs came in the last 11 duels (9 losses) - 1-0 in October 2018 under Abelardo Fernández and 2-1 in November 2020 with Pablo Machín on the bench. Real Madrid has been almost unbeatable against Alavés in this millennium. The "White Ballet" has won 87% of its matches against Deportivo Alavés in LaLiga since 2001 (from 23 duels: 20 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses). The Royal Club has a higher percentage of victories in this period only against Granada (95% - from...

  Everton – Arsenal April 5th, 2025 Goodison Park used to be a cursed place for Arsenal. The Gunners have won only three of their last 26 away matches on Merseyside against local clubs (Everton and Liverpool), which is an alarming contrast to their previous record when they managed to win six out of seven visits. Last season, however, Arsenal finally broke the curse and won 1-0 at Everton's ground. The mutual encounters between these teams have gone through significant fluctuations in recent years. After a period when Everton dominated (four wins from five matches between December 2020 and February 2023), Arsenal has now taken the reins, remaining unbeaten against the Toffees in the last four duels. The December meeting in London ended in a goalless draw, which means that if Arsenal were to keep a clean sheet again, they would achieve this in both season matches against Everton for the first time since the 2011-12 season. Interestingly, if neither team were to score this time,...
