EAGLES AIM FOR RECORD SEASON, WOLVES SEEK TO BREAK LONDON CURSE

Image
  May 20, 2025   Crystal Palace - Wolverhampton Wanderers Selhurst Park, London On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Crystal Palace will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a clash between a home team fighting for their historically best placement and visitors trying to end an unfavorable series in London. Crystal Palace have won six of their last eight Premier League games against Wolves (D1 L1), with both exceptions in this run coming away from home. The home team thus confirms their dominance over the wolves at their own stadium. Wolves have lost their last four Premier League away games against Crystal Palace, as many as they had in their previous 18 league visits (D7 L7). The visitors thus have something to make up for at Selhurst Park. Wolves haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last 23 Premier League away games against London sides, conceding 50 goals in this run. Their last such shutout was at Tottenham in February 20...

  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...

  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 ...
