5 – Manchester United vs West Ham United
Manchester United host West Ham United in a crucial Premier League clash on 11 May 2025, rescheduled due to United’s Europa League semi-final commitments against Athletic Club. Under Ruben Amorim, United are showcasing their attacking intent. This match pits United’s home strength against West Ham’s recent knack for upsetting the Red Devils.
This match has draw potential written all over it. West Ham’s recent success against United, particularly away, suggests they can frustrate the hosts, but United’s home form and Europa League momentum give them an edge. Sports Mole’s 2023 analysis gave a draw a 23.4% probability in a similar context, and the Opta supercomputer often flags tight encounters here. Expect a cagey affair with both sides canceling each other out.
Head-to-Head Record
The two sides have met 155 times across all competitions, with Manchester United leading the historical record:
Man United Wins: 74
West Ham Wins: 49
Draws: 32
In the Premier League specifically (57 meetings):
Man United Wins: 34
West Ham Wins: 10
Draws: 13
25 – Valencia vs Getafe
Valencia welcome Getafe to the Mestalla for a crucial La Liga encounter on 11 May 2025. Valencia, under Rubén Baraja, are battling to secure a mid-table finish or push for European qualification, sitting around 10th with 38 points based on recent form trends. Getafe, managed by José Bordalás, are hovering just above the relegation zone with 35 points, desperate to avoid a late-season slide. This matchup pits Valencia’s home resilience against Getafe’s gritty, defensive approach, with both sides needing points for different reasons.
This match has all the makings of a draw, as predicted in the earlier query. Valencia’s home advantage is tempered by Getafe’s dogged defensive setup under Bordalás, who knows how to frustrate Los Che from his time managing Valencia. Recent meetings suggest tight, low-scoring games, and Opta’s analytics often flag draws in these mid-table scraps (e.g., 28% draw probability in similar 2024 fixtures). Valencia will dominate possession, but Getafe’s counter-attacking threat could earn them a point.
Head-to-Head Record
Valencia and Getafe have faced off 48 times across all competitions since their first meeting in 2004, with Valencia holding a slight edge:
Valencia Wins: 22
Getafe Wins: 17
Draws: 9
In La Liga specifically (44 meetings):
Valencia Wins: 20
Getafe Wins: 15
Draws: 9
27 – Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund
Bayer Leverkusen host Borussia Dortmund in a high-stakes Bundesliga clash on 11 May 2025 at the BayArena. Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen, sitting near the top of the table with approximately 42 points, are chasing the Bundesliga title after their unbeaten 2023/24 campaign. Dortmund, under Nuri Şahin, are in the top four with around 40 points, aiming to solidify their Champions League spot. This matchup pits Leverkusen’s attacking flair against Dortmund’s potent counter-attacking style, with both teams in strong form following European commitments.
As flagged earlier, this match is a prime candidate for a draw. Leverkusen’s attacking prowess is matched by Dortmund’s counter-attacking threat, and recent meetings suggest parity, with four of the last five ending level. Opta’s analytics often give draws a high probability in these clashes (e.g., 27% in 2024), and the BayArena’s atmosphere could keep it tight. Expect goals but no clear winner.
Head-to-Head Record
The two sides have met 93 times across all competitions since 1979, with Dortmund holding a slight edge:
Dortmund Wins: 39
Leverkusen Wins: 31
Draws: 23
In the Bundesliga specifically (83 meetings):
Dortmund Wins: 35
Leverkusen Wins: 28
Draws: 20
37 – Feyenoord vs PSV Eindhoven
Feyenoord host PSV Eindhoven in a blockbuster Eredivisie clash on 11 May 2025 at De Kuip, a fixture pivotal to the Dutch title race. PSV, under Peter Bosz, lead the league with approximately 48 points, boasting an unbeaten home record and a potent attack. Feyenoord, managed by Brian Priske, are fifth with around 34 points, reeling from the mid-season departure of star striker Santiago Giménez to AC Milan. This match, a classic Dutch “De Topper,” sees Feyenoord’s home fortress tested by PSV’s relentless form, with both teams eyeing momentum before the final stretch of the season.
As noted in the earlier, this match screams draw. Feyenoord’s home advantage at De Kuip, where they’ve lost just once this season, balances PSV’s superior form and depth. Recent meetings, like the 2-2 draws in 2023 and 2024, suggest tight, high-scoring affairs. Sports Mole’s analysis gave a draw a 18.4% probability in December 2024, and Opta often flags these clashes as 50-50 (e.g., 25% draw chance in 2023). PSV’s injury concerns and Feyenoord’s desperation to rebound could lead to a stalemate.
Head-to-Head Record
Feyenoord and PSV have met 171 times across all competitions since 1928, with Feyenoord holding a slight historical edge:
Feyenoord Wins: 66
PSV Wins: 64
Draws: 41
In the Eredivisie specifically (137 meetings):
Feyenoord Wins: 51
PSV Wins: 51
Draws: 35
42 – Benfica vs Sporting CP
The Lisbon Derby, or “Dérbi de Lisboa,” ignites Estádio da Luz as Benfica face Sporting CP in a pivotal Primeira Liga clash on 10 May 2025. Benfica, under Bruno Lage, lead the league, riding a 14-game unbeaten streak. Sporting, managed by Rui Borges since João Pereira’s mid-season exit, are close, making this match a potential title decider with just two rounds remaining. The rivalry, dating back to 1907, is intensified by Sporting’s recent edge in head-to-head clashes, including a 1-0 win in December 2024.
This match is poised for a draw. Benfica’s home dominance (14 wins in 16 league games at Estádio da Luz) meets Sporting’s recent derby superiority and lethal attack. The 2-2 draw in April 2024 and historical trends (26.1% of league meetings end level) support a stalemate. Sports Mole’s 2024 analysis gave a draw a 23.8% chance, and Opta’s metrics often highlight tight margins in these clashes. Expect goals, with both sides’ firepower canceling each other out.
Head-to-Head Record
Benfica and Sporting have met 322 times across all competitions since 1907, with Benfica holding a slight edge:
Benfica Wins: 139
Sporting Wins: 114
Draws: 69
