Sparta obhajuje triumf z loňska a s osmi vítězstvími je nejúspěšnějším týmem v historii soutěže. Naopak Hanáci by rádi zvedli trofej teprve podruhé – naposledy se jim to podařilo v roce 2012.
Formu ale nemá na své straně ani jeden z finalistů. Olomouc v nadstavbě bodovala pouze jednou – za bezbrankovou remízu na Baníku. Dvakrát prohrála, navíc s nelichotivým skóre 0:9 (0:5 se Slavií, 0:4 s Jabloncem). Jelikož má jistotu šestého místa, plně se nyní soustředí na středeční pohárový večer.
Hanáci se do finále probojovali po divokém semifinále v Ostravě, kde porazili Baník 3:2. Utkání ale přineslo i bolestivou ztrátu – kvůli zranění do finále nezasáhne nejlepší střelec Jan Kliment.
Ještě horší bilanci než Sigma má v nadstavbě Sparta. Letenští prohráli třikrát za sebou – 0:2 v Plzni, 1:3 doma s Jabloncem a 1:2 v Edenu se Slavií. V ligové tabulce nemohou skončit výš než čtvrtí, a pokud nezaberou, hrozí jim i pád na páté místo.
Svěřenci trenéra Larse Friise však mají příležitost sezonu alespoň částečně zachránit. V semifinále zvládli těžký duel s Plzní, kterou doma porazili 1:0, a soupeře prakticky k ničemu nepustili.
Vzájemná bilance hovoří pro tým z Letné. Sparta zvítězila v pěti z posledních sedmi duelů se Sigmou a jen jednou odešla poražena – na podzim po výsledku 2:3. Připomeňme ale, že právě proti Spartě slavila Olomouc svůj dosud jediný pohárový triumf.
Finále může být pro Olomouc sladkou tečkou za už tak povedeným ročníkem. Sparta naopak bude chtít svůj nevydařený pokus o obhajobu ligového titulu napravit alespoň druhým triumfem v poháru za sebou.

Automobilová federace po kritice zmírnila sankce za neslušnou mluvu jezdců
Největší změnou je snížení maximální základní pokuty z dosavadní výše 10 000 eur na polovinu. Například u F1 to znamená ještě výraznější snížení, protože pro královskou motoristickou třídu byla částka podle původních pravidel násobena čtyřmi. Dále budou komisaři při rozhodování o výši trestu posuzovat, za jakých okolností se jezdci proti slušnému chování provinili - zda se tak stalo v zápalu boje na trati, nebo například při mediálních výstupech. Budou mít také možnost odložit trest, nebo jej udělit pouze podmíněně, pokud se například bude jednat o první provinění.„Jezdci představují pro mladé fanoušky vzory a ambasadory motoristického sportu, jejich chování má proto značný dosah. Je ale důležité uvědomit si rozdíl, když k nějakému vyjádření dojde během závodu, nebo na tiskové konferenci. Ty změny reflektují tlak, kterému jsou jezdci vystaveni v zápalu boje,“ uvedl prezident Výboru jezdců FIA Ronan Morgan.Podle FIA rozhodla organizace o „zásadním vylepšení“ kodexu chování soutěžních jezdců na základě rozsáhlého průzkumu, […]

<!--> Pato O'WardSpecial to FOXSports.comThis first-person essay is the first in a special series leading up to the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 25 on FOX in which INDYCAR drivers penned letters about what the historic race means to them.Dear Indianapolis Motor Speedway, There’s something about you that is always sticking with me.You’re loud.

Taiwo Awoniyi: What happens in an on-field medical assessment and what an induced coma is
The football world has been rocked by the serious injury sustained by Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi on Sunday.The 27-year-old collided with a goalpost at speed when attempting to reach the ball and, after attempting to play on until the game finished, is now in hospital recovering after what his club described as “urgent surgery on a serious abdominal injury”.AdvertisementAwoniyi was also placed in an induced coma on Tuesday night following the surgery.Here, The Athletic explains the circumstances around the incident, what an induced coma is, and what happens when a player is assessed by medical staff on the field.What happened on the pitch?When Forest winger Anthony Elanga was played in down the right flank, he was offside.

What is the best goal that Lionel Messi has ever scored?
Lionel Messi, in many people’s eyes the greatest footballer of all time, has scored 860 goals for club and country in a career spanning more than 20 years.A lot of these goals have been good, a fair few have been spectacular… and a handful have been beyond comprehension.But which one of his dazzling collection is the very best?An impossible question to answer? Perhaps. Yet with Messi himself set to name his favourite this week, several of The Athletic’s writers have selected the goal that, in their view, is the greatest the Argentinian has scored.For Argentina vs Nigeria in June 2018 (World Cup group stage) O sempre genial, Lionel Messi! 🤩🇦🇷 Contra a Nigeria, o craque da @Argentina anotou um dos gols mais bonitos da @FIFAWorldCup 2018! 🏆#49DaysToGo #AcrediteNoSeuContinente pic.twitter.com/TwnWyaLZHP — CONMEBOL Copa América™ POR 🇧🇷 (@copaamerica_POR) October 2, 2022The great […]
Can Aaron Judge hit .400? One bettor will win $350,000 if the New York Yankees slugger can pull it off
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is very good at baseball — this we know.But the defending American League MVP is on a torrid pace this season, leading the majors in batting average (.410), wins above replacement (3.6), RBI (40), on-base percentage (.497), slugging percentage (.770), hits (66) and is tied for the lead with 14 home runs.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNot surprisingly, Judge is already an overwhelming -1600 favorite to win the AL MVP award again at BetMGM, which translates to an implied probability of 94.1%.But one BetMGM bettor is looking for a huge payout on an even rarer feat for Judge: Becoming the first player to hit .400 since Ted Williams averaged .406 in 1941.The bettor wagered $2,000 that Judge will hit .400 or higher in the 2025 MLB season at 175-1 odds, meaning a payout of $350,000 if the Yankees star […]
MLB DFS: Top DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy baseball picks, lineups, advice for Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Some of those could be cancelled again with poor weather in parts of the country, but for daily Fantasy baseball players, there are ample ways to create an MLB DFS strategy with a bevy of slates to choose from.
