  Real Sociedad - RCD Mallorca April 12th, 2025 Saturday's LaLiga program will bring a clash of two teams with different streaks. The home team Real Sociedad is almost invincible against Mallorca at their own stadium - they have won each of the last 10 home matches, which is the third-longest series of consecutive home victories against the same opponent in their history in the competition (14 against Athletic Bilbao between 1969 and 1982 and 12 against Espanyol between 1944 and 1959). The clean sheet statistic is even more impressive. San Sebastian hasn't conceded against Mallorca in each of their last seven home LaLiga matches (7 wins). Only against UD Las Palmas in 1977 (nine) and Real Valladolid in 1999 (eight) have they kept more clean sheets in consecutive home matches in the competition's history. Real is also in good form. They haven't lost any of their last three LaLiga matches (2 wins, 1 draw), winning the last two, while previously they had lost six of e...

    Chelsea – Tottenham Hotspur April 3rd, 2025 Chelsea has Tottenham figured out like an open book. The Blues have lost only one of their last 12 Premier League matches against their London rival, winning the last three duels with an impressive score of 10:4. Stamford Bridge has become a nightmare for Spurs, and manager Ange Postecoglou could establish an unflattering record - no Tottenham manager in history has lost his first four league games against Chelsea. Chelsea's historical dominance is stunning. Against no other opponent have the Blues won more matches (36) and scored more goals (120) in the Premier League than against Tottenham. Only three teams in the history of the competition have scored more goals against one specific opponent - Arsenal and Manchester United against Everton and Liverpool against Newcastle (all 124). Tottenham has significant problems with London derbies this season. With just 10 points (3 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses), they are, together with Bre...

BRIGHTON'S ATTACKING POWER VS ASTON VILLA'S SET-PIECE SPECIALISTS: PEDRO ON PATH TO CLUB RECORD!

Image
  Brighton and Hove Albion – Aston Villa April 1st, 2025 The Amex Stadium has transformed into a fortress in recent weeks. Brighton have won three league games in a row and now stand before a historic opportunity - a fourth consecutive home victory would mark a premier entry in the club's top-flight chronicles. However, statistics warn that Aston Villa isn't among the Seagulls' favorite opponents. Brighton have beaten them at home only once in five attempts, though this happened in their last mutual encounter at this stadium in May last year (1-0). The Villans were almost unbeatable against Brighton until recently. Between November 2021 and September 2023, they recorded five consecutive wins, but in the last two duels, they've failed to collect points (a draw and a loss). Unai Emery's men are improving though - they've won two of their last three league games, which equals their record from the previous nine combined. Brighton's offensive strength is adm...
