MATCH PREVIEWS

Go Ahead Eagles vs PSV: Revenge or Repeat?

De Adelaarshorst is set for another showdown, and PSV will be out for revenge after Go Ahead Eagles stunned them midweek in the KNVB Cup. But can the hosts do it again, or will the Eindhoven giants bounce back in their title race?

Key Stats to Know

Go Ahead Flying at Home: Unbeaten in their last seven at De Adelaarshorst (6W, 1D), scoring 2.57 goals per game (xG: 1.74). The bad news? Top scorer Jakob Breum (9 goals) is out injured.

PSV’s Away Day Woes: One win in their last four away matches (1W, 1D, 2L), conceding 2.5 goals per game (xG: 1.75). With Ricardo Pepi sidelined, Luuk de Jong (10 goals) will need to step up.

Recent History Favours PSV: The visitors won 3-0 in their last Eredivisie meeting in September, but after their KNVB Cup defeat to Go Ahead, this one is far from a foregone conclusion.

Betting Suggestions

PSV will not want to lose twice in a row to the same team, and their title chase makes this a must-win. A 3-1 win for PSV at odds of 11.0 looks tempting. Expect action early? Both teams to score in the first half is priced at 3.4.

Napoli vs Inter: Title Race Tension in Naples

Stadio Diego Armando Maradona will be the battleground this Saturday as Napoli host Inter in a potentially pivotal clash in the Serie A title race. Napoli sit in second place, looking to close the gap on league leaders Inter in what promises to be a tense encounter.

Key Stats to Know

Napoli’s Home Form: Four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six at home. They have been defensively solid, conceding just 0.5 goals per game (xG: 0.53). However, their attack has been underwhelming, scoring only 1.17 goals per match (xG: 1.75). Missing André Zambo Anguissa could weaken their midfield control, but Romelu Lukaku (9 goals) is fit and ready to lead the line.

Inter’s Mixed Away Record: Four wins, one draw, and two losses in their last seven away games. Their attack has been slightly below expectations, netting 1.43 goals per game (xG: 1.89), but their defence remains sturdy, conceding just 0.71 goals per match (xG: 0.9). The absence of top scorer Marcus Thuram could be a blow, leaving Marko Arnautović to step up after scoring twice in his last five outings.

Betting Suggestions

This match looks like a tight affair, with Napoli’s home strength clashing against Inter’s solid defensive setup. A 1-1 draw is priced at 6.0 and looks like a strong possibility. For those looking for something different, over 3.5 corners in the first half is available at 1.5, which could be worth considering.

WTF?

ZIDANE'S NEW RACKET 🏓

Remember Zinedine Zidane, the guy who won everything in football and then ghosted the sport? Well, he's now dropping £4M on... checks notes... padel courts.

What's padel, you ask? Think tennis and squash had a baby in Mexico, then moved to Europe to become the cool new sport that every footballer is obsessed with.

The details:

• Zizou's building 13 padel courts in France

• Throwing in some 5-a-side pitches and beach volleyball courts (because why not?)

• Construction kicks off in 2026 in Aix-en-Provence

The wild part? He's not even the first football legend to jump on this trend:

• Cristiano Ronaldo owns a centre in Lisbon

• Zlatan Ibrahimovic has one in Sweden

• Jurgen Klopp calls himself "addicted" to the sport

Bottom line: While everyone's waiting for Zidane to return to football management, he's out here building a padel empire. Talk about a career headbutt in a different direction! 🤯

DID YOU KNOW?

FORT KNOX OF FOOTBALL 🥅

Think your team's defence is solid? Hold that thought. Here's a wild stat that'll make your jaw drop: The longest defensive streak in top-flight football belongs to Al-Ahly, who went an incredible 1,606 minutes without conceding a goal in the Egyptian Premier League (that's almost 18 full matches!).

But wait, there's more:

• Vasco da Gama went 1,761 minutes without conceding in Brazil's regional league

• Man United once went 14 straight Premier League games without letting one in

• Current Championship side Burnley is on a 1,090-minute clean sheet streak

Most impressive of all? A Swedish women's team called Ängelholm went an ENTIRE SEASON (1,620 minutes) without conceding... and still finished second! Talk about tough luck.

Bottom line: While everyone's obsessing over scoring records, these teams were literally putting up walls. And here you thought your Sunday league team's two consecutive clean sheets were impressive... 🧱
