  Venezia - Monza April 12th, 2025, 3:00 PM Friday's battle between teams from the lower part of the Serie A table will offer a clash of two sides desperately needing points in the fight for survival. Venezia will welcome Monza at their home stadium Penzo in the 32nd round of the Italian top flight. The home Venetians are experiencing a horror period. Venezia has not won in 14 league matches in a row (8 draws, 6 losses) - their last victory in Serie A dates back to December 22, when they defeated Cagliari 2-1 at home. If they don't win this time either, they would record 15 matches without a win in a row for the first time since the period between March 2000 and December 2001, when they didn't taste the joy of victory in 21 matches. Even more alarming is that Venezia hasn't scored in any of their last four home league matches. If they don't break through against Monza either, for the first time in club history they would remain without a goal in five consecutiv...

  CD Leganés - CA Osasuna April 7th, 2025 Butarque Stadium in southern Madrid will witness a clash between two teams caught in a results crisis. The home side Leganés, nicknamed "Los Pepineros" (Cucumber Growers), has lost their last three league matches, and if they fail against Osasuna as well, they would record their longest losing streak since September 2019, when they lost six times in a row. Osasuna has no reason to rejoice either. The Rojillos (Reds) haven't won for seven consecutive league matches (4 draws, 3 losses) and haven't scored in the last two. If they fail to score against Leganés, it would be the first time since March 2023 that they haven't recorded a goal in three consecutive matches. The mutual history in the top division is brief but clearly speaks in favor of Osasuna. Leganés has managed to win only once in five mutual duels in LaLiga - in the historically first encounter in November 2016 with a score of 2-0. Nevertheless, the Madrid te...

  Manchester City – Leicester City April 2nd, 2025 Etihad Stadium will be the venue for a clash of enormous contrasts. Manchester City dominates English football, while Leicester is experiencing one of the worst seasons in its history. The visiting Foxes have the fewest shots (262) and expected goals (25.8) in the entire Premier League, while the home Citizens rank second in shooting attempts (466), only behind Liverpool. The head-to-head record clearly favors the defending champions. Citizens have won nine of the last ten league duels with Leicester, including the last six in a row with an impressive overall score of 15:4. Interestingly, none of the 12 matches that Leicester has played in the Premier League at Manchester City's ground has ended in a draw (5 Leicester wins, 7 City wins). Etihad Stadium is synonymous with goal feasts for these teams. Ten mutual matches at this stadium have produced a respectable 43 goals (City 25, Leicester 18), which means more than 4 goals pe...

  OSTRAVA'S INVINCIBILITY VS PARDUBICE'S GOAL DROUGHT: WILL A HISTORIC RECORD FALL? FC Baník Ostrava – FK Pardubice March 29th, 2025 Baník Ostrava is experiencing one of the best seasons in club history. After defeating Plzeň, Baník has recorded its fourth consecutive win, which they've achieved for the second time this Chance Liga season. Their total of 17 wins this season represents a historic record for Ostrava at this stage of the competition. If the Silesians lose no more than two points in the last four matches, they will record the best regular season in club history (the current record is 63 points from the 2003-04 season). Pardubice, on the other hand, are suffering through a scoring drought. The East Bohemians haven't scored in seven consecutive league matches, matching Bohemians' unfortunate streak from 2016-2017. If they fail to score in Ostrava, they will become the first team with eight consecutive league matches without a goal since Hradec Králové...
