May 9, 2025   VfL Wolfsburg - TSG Hoffenheim   Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg, Germany On Friday, May 9, 2025, VfL Wolfsburg will face TSG Hoffenheim in the 33rd round of the German Bundesliga. The clash between teams suffering from a significant drop in form during the spring part of the season will have a crucial impact on the relegation battle in Germany's top flight. This will be the third meeting between the two teams this season. The "Wolves" from Wolfsburg have defeated Hoffenheim twice so far this season - first 3-0 at home in the DFB-Pokal round of 16 at the beginning of December and then 1-0 in Sinsheim in a league match. VfL could now win three competitive games against the same opponent in a single season for just the fourth time in professional football (previously vs. Schalke in 2020/21, Freiburg in the 2014/15 season, and Hertha BSC in 2000/01). TSG Hoffenheim sits in 15th place, having collected only 31 points from 32 games this season. TSG has only ever clai...

  May 6, 2025 Melgar - Lanús Estadio Monumental UNSA, Arequipa, Peru Peruvian side Melgar will attempt to avenge their previous defeat when they host Argentina's Lanús on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, after being comprehensively beaten 3-0 in their first meeting in Group G of the Copa Sudamericana. The home advantage at Estadio Monumental UNSA in Arequipa gives "El Dominó" hope for a successful revenge against a team that continues to set records on the South American stage. Lanús clearly demonstrated their strength in the first encounter of this year's Copa Sudamericana, defeating Melgar by a convincing 3-0 scoreline. The Argentine club now has the opportunity to make history - if they win again, they will become only the second team to defeat the same Peruvian opponent more than once in continental tournaments. Previously, "El Granate" only managed this against Bolivian side Sport Boys Warnes in the 2017 Copa Libertadores. The Argentine side remains unbeaten...

  May 6, 2025 Sportivo Luqueño vs. Godoy Cruz Estadio Feliciano Cáceres, Luque, Paraguay Argentine side Godoy Cruz has a historic achievement within reach in South American competition. On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the team from Mendoza will visit Paraguayan club Sportivo Luqueño in the return match of the 2025 Copa Sudamericana group stage, where they can confirm their dominance and strengthen their position for advancing to the next phase of the tournament. Godoy Cruz already defeated Sportivo Luqueño in their first encounter of this year's CONMEBOL Sudamericana. "El Tomba," as the Argentine side is nicknamed, now has the opportunity to beat the same opponent more than once in continental tournaments for only the second time in their history. The last time they achieved this was against Bolivian side Sport Boys Warnes in the 2017 Copa Libertadores, when they won both head-to-head matches. The Argentine team remains unbeaten in this year's Copa Sudamericana – recor...

  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...
