Image
  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 27, 2025 AFC Bournemouth - Manchester United Sunday's Premier League clash between Bournemouth and Manchester United features a team enjoying their best-ever season against a traditional giant in deep crisis.

Manchester United's defense has recently struggled significantly against Bournemouth. United have conceded eight goals in their last three Premier League games against Bournemouth, as many as they had in their previous eleven meetings combined. Bournemouth now have the opportunity to become the sixth different team to complete t...

DERBY OF WEAK DEFENSES: MBEUMO TARGETS CHELSEA, BLUES ON THE VERGE OF HISTORIC AWAY ANTI-RECORD

Image
  Brentford – Chelsea April 6th, 2025 The West London derby between Brentford and Chelsea offers a clash between two teams struggling at their stadiums. The home "Bees" have not won at Gtech Community Stadium for seven matches in a row (2 draws, 5 losses), which represents their worst home run since nine games without a win between September and December 2006. Chelsea is no better off. The "Blues" have lost four away league games in a row, and if they fail again this time, they would match their longest away losing streak in the last 25 years. The last time Chelsea fell five times in a row at opponents' stadiums was between October and December 2000. The Stamford Bridge team's record away from home in all competitions is alarming. From their last ten away matches, Coach Endy's men have managed to win only twice - in Kazakhstan (3-1 against Astana) and in Denmark (2-1 against FC Copenhagen). They haven't won away on English soil for eight consecu...
