17 August 2025 Disciplinary issues could affect Nottingham Forest's performance through Elliot Anderson, who has received four yellow cards in his last five league matches. However, the English midfielder remains an important part of the team thanks to his average of three tackles and 1.9 fouls won per 90 minutes, demonstrating his fighting spirit and ability to disrupt opposition play. Between the posts, Forest will rely on Matz Sels, who dominated Premier League defensive statistics. The Belgian goalkeeper not only recorded the joint-most clean sheets among all league goalkeepers (13), but also averaged 3.2 saves per 90 minutes. He proved his consistency by making at least three saves in six of his last nine league appearances. Brentford will depend on the creativity of Mikkel Damsgaard, who was among the most productive assist providers in the Premier League last season. Only three players recorded more assists than the Danish midfielder (10), while his 63 chances created wa...

  May 18, 2025   FC Hradec Králové - Bohemians Praha 1905   Malšovická Arena, Hradec Králové On Sunday, May 18, 2025, FC Hradec Králové will face Bohemians Praha 1905 in the 34th round of the Chance Liga and the second round of the midfield playoffs. The match offers a clash between two teams with good results in the playoff stage. FC Hradec Králové have now won eight games in midfield playoffs with only Mladá Boleslav winning more (10) since its introduction in the 2018-19 season. Hradec have also scored in the last eight games in midfield playoffs, and if they manage to score against Bohemians, they will draw level with the longest scoring streak in playoffs held by Mladá Boleslav from May 2019/July 2020 (9 games). The East Bohemian side thus has a significant milestone within reach. Bohemians Praha 1905 have reached the second round also in their second Chance Liga midfield playoff they have played. Only Hradec Králové and Mladá Boleslav have progressed to the seco...

  May 14, 2025 Defensa y Justicia -  Universidad Católica Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, Florencio Varela, Argentina On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Argentine Defensa y Justicia will face Ecuadorian Universidad Católica in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and an opportunity to extend several remarkable streaks. Defensa y Justicia has only one defeat in six home games against Ecuadorian teams in CONMEBOL competitions (3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss). That single defeat came in the group stage of the 2022 Sudamericana against LDU Quito (1-2). The Argentine side thus has an excellent record against Ecuadorian opponents on home soil. After not conceding goals in their last home game in the 2025 Sudamericana (0-0 with Vitória), Defensa y Justicia will seek to play consecutive home matches without conceding for the third time in CONMEBOL competitions. This achievement has not happened for the Argentine team f...

  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   FK Mladá Boleslav - FK Dukla Praha   Lokotrans Arena, Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic On Sunday, May 11, 2025, FK Mladá Boleslav will face FK Dukla Praha in the playoff round of the Chance Liga. The clash between two teams from the relegation group offers a meeting of different forms and an opportunity to achieve interesting milestones. FK Mladá Boleslav have won their last two Chance Liga games and now have a chance to win three consecutive games for the second time this season. If they win, Mladá Boleslav would become only the second team in history to win the first three games in the relegation round after Pardubice did so in the 2021-22 season. For the Central Bohemian club, this is an opportunity to write themselves into the history of the competition. FK Dukla Praha have lost just three matches in the spring part of this Chance Liga season. Only three clubs have lost fewer matches in the league in 2025: Slavia (1), Baník and Jablonec (2 each). Du...

  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 27, 2025 FC Baník Ostrava - FK Jablonec Sunday's opening match of the Chance Liga championship round features a clash between record-setting Baník Ostrava and the defensively exceptional FK Jablonec. Both teams enter the championship group with contrasting historical statistics. Baník Ostrava has recorded their most successful regular season in Chance Liga history with 64 points and will be playing in the championship round for the fifth time. However, in their previous four championship rounds, Baník gained a maximum of only four points (in seasons 2021-22 and 2023-24) and achieved their highest finish last season (4th place). Notably, Ostrava has lost all four of their opening championship round matches (either to Sparta or Slavia), a statistic they're eager to overturn. FK Jablonec has played their best regular Chance Liga season since 2020-21, when they accumulated 62 points after 30 matchdays under Petr Rada (51 points now). The Northern Czech side has excelle...

  April 19, 2025 FK Mladá Boleslav - FK Jablonec The Lokotrans Arena in Mladá Boleslav will be the venue for an intriguing clash this Saturday between two teams with dramatically different current form. Home side FK Mladá Boleslav, sliding down the table, welcomes an in-form FK Jablonec, whose defense in recent weeks resembles an impregnable fortress. Boleslav is going through one of the toughest periods in its modern history. Coach David Holoubek's team has lost six consecutive league matches, most recently falling to Sparta Prague. Such a long losing streak was last experienced by the Central Bohemian club between November 2017 and March 2018. The current 34 points after 29 rounds represents the third-worst record for the club in the era of the independent Czech league – Boleslav was only worse off in the 2020/21 (27 points) and 2004/05 (30 points) seasons. "We're obviously going through a difficult period, but we're trying to maintain a positive atmosphere in th...

  FK Jablonec – FK Pardubice April 13th, 2025 Sunday's Chance Liga program will offer a clash of teams with opposing forms. The home team Jablonec is experiencing one of its best seasons in recent years, while Pardubice is fighting for mere survival in the top competition. The North Bohemians are playing their best season since the 2020-21 season, when they had 17 wins (now 13) and 56 points (currently 45) after the same number of played matches. Jablonec also has a positive goal difference of +20, a value last exceeded in the 2018-19 season (+24). Just like then, they have conceded only 25 goals. The key to Jablonec's success is a solid defense. The North Bohemians have already recorded 13 clean sheets in this Chance Liga season – only Slavia Praha has more (18). For Jablonec, this is the most since the 2014-15 season (also 13), and overall, they have had more clean sheets at this stage of the season only once – 15 in the 1996-97 season. For goalkeeper Jan Hanuš, this is ...

  Bayern Munich v Internazionale April 8th, 2025 The tenth mutual encounter between these giant clubs will offer a battle of opposites - phenomenal attack against an almost impenetrable defense. The Bavarian side has been more successful in five of the previous nine duels, including the last meeting in the Champions League, when they won both home and away 2-0 in the 2022-23 group stage. However, history shows an interesting paradox. Although Inter has won only two of seven matches against Bayern in the Champions League (1 draw, 4 losses), whenever both teams met in the knockout phase, the Italian club advanced. This happened in the 2009-10 final (2-0) and in the 2010-11 round of 16, when Inter progressed thanks to the away goals rule (3-3 aggregate score). Inter is a true nightmare for Bayern in the knockout phase. Only Real Madrid (seven times) has eliminated the Bavarian side from the Champions League more often than the Nerazzurri (twice), who are one of only five teams to...
