This week classic pools fixtures for UK 2025/2026 season, should see some close ties at both ends of the table across various leagues. Local pride will be at stake across most fixtures with what should be entertaining matches this weekend. We’ve looked through the fixtures and provided head-to-head statistics for five matches we think have the potential to end in a draw.
1 – Airdrieonians vs Alloa Athletic
Airdrieonians face Alloa Athletic in a crucial Scottish League Cup Group C match on July 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM at The Albert Bartlett Stadium, Airdrie. This clash between two Scottish League One sides is pivotal for both teams’ hopes of advancing to the last 16. Airdrieonians, with six points from their opening matches, including a 3-0 upset over Dundee, are in strong form. Alloa Athletic, leading Group C with a perfect nine points after a 1-0 victory against Dundee, aim to maintain their unbeaten run. With both teams showing competitive edge, this match promises to be a tightly contested.
Head-to-Head Record
The rivalry between Airdrieonians and Alloa Athletic is well-documented, with 29 competitive meetings since 2007. Airdrie have won 13 matches, Alloa have claimed 12 victories, and 4 games have ended in draws, indicating a balanced rivalry:
Total Matches: 29
Airdrie Wins: 18
Alloa Wins: 12
Draws: 4
The closely matched nature of these teams, as evidenced by their head-to-head record and current form, a draw is a likely outcome. A 1-1 draw is predicted, with both sides likely to cancel each other out in a low-scoring, tactical battle. This result would keep Alloa at the top of Group C while allowing Airdrie to remain in the race for the knockout stages.
4 – Falkirk vs Spartans FC
Falkirk face Spartans FC in the Scottish League Cup Group A clash on July 26, 2025, at Falkirk Stadium. This match is critical for both teams as they aim to secure a spot in the last 16. Falkirk, riding high after a 7-0 demolition of Brechin City, are favorites to top Group A. Spartans, who opened their campaign with a 1-0 loss to Cove Rangers, are looking to bounce back and challenge the Scottish Premiership side. With Falkirk’s superior league status and home advantage, Spartans face an uphill battle, but their resilience could make this a competitive encounter.
Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head history between Falkirk and Spartans FC is limited, with only one competitive meeting recorded in recent years. On July 18, 2023 (Scottish League Cup, Group B): Spartans FC 1-2 Falkirk, Falkirk secured a narrow victory at The Vanloq Community Stadium. This was a tightly contested match, with Spartans showing resilience despite the loss:
Total Matches: 1
Falkirk Wins: 1
Spartans Wins: 0
Draws: 0
Falkirk’s attacking firepower and home advantage make them strong favorites, but Spartans’ defensive resilience could keep the scoreline close. The head-to-head record and Falkirk’s recent 7-0 cup win suggest they’ll dominate possession and create more chances. However, given the prediction context and Spartans’ ability to compete, as seen in 2023, a 1-1 draw is a plausible outcome. Alternatively, a 2-1 Falkirk win, mirroring their 2023 result, is equally likely.
19 – FCV Dender EH vs Cercle Brugge
FCV Dender EH face Cercle Brugge in a Belgian Pro League match on July 26, 2025, at the Dender Football Complex in Denderleeuw. This opening fixture of the 2025-26 season pits two mid-table teams against each other, both aiming to start their campaign on a strong note. FCV Dender, coming off a 12th-place finish in the 2024-25 season, look to leverage their home advantage, while Cercle Brugge, who ended 13th last season, aim to improve their inconsistent away form. With a history of closely contested matches, this game could be a tight affair with a high chance of a stalemate.
Head-to-Head Record
FCV Dender EH and Cercle Brugge have met 7 times since 2006, with a balanced record according to data obtained:
Total Matches: 7
FCV Dender EH Wins: 3
Cercle Brugge Wins: 2
Draws: 2
Historical trend of draws (2 in 7 meetings) and both teams’ recent low-scoring form, a stalemate is a strong possibility. Dender’s home advantage is tempered by their injury concerns, while Cercle’s poor away record and defensive lapses could prevent them from capitalizing. A 0-0 or 1-1 draw is predicted, with both sides likely to adopt cautious tactics to avoid an early-season loss.
20 – OH Leuven vs Sporting Charleroi
OH Leuven face Sporting Charleroi in a Belgian Pro League match on July 27, 2025, at King Power at Den Dreef Stadion, Leuven. This opening fixture of the 2025-26 season brings together two mid-table teams from the 2024-25 campaign, both aiming to kick off with a positive result. OH Leuven, who finished 10th last season, seek to capitalize on their home advantage, while Charleroi, ending 9th, look to build on their strong finish in the Europe play-offs. Given their history of competitive encounters, this match has a strong chance of ending in a stalemate.
Head-to-Head Record
OH Leuven and Charleroi have met 22 times since 2006, with a competitive record:
Total Matches: 22
OH Leuven Wins: 9
Charleroi Wins: 7
Draws: 6
The historical draw trend and recent low-scoring encounters point to a closely fought match. Leuven’s home form gives them a slight edge, but Charleroi’s play-off momentum and recent win over Leuven make them competitive. A 1-1 draw is predicted, with both teams likely to score, as four of Charleroi’s last five games featured both teams scoring.
26 – Odense BK vs Viborg FF
Odense BK (OB) face Viborg FF in a Danish Superliga match on July 27, 2025, at Nature Energy Park, Odense. This second fixture of the 2025-26 season sees OB, fresh off promotion from the Danish 1st Division, aiming to establish themselves back in the top flight against a Viborg side that finished 7th last season. Both teams are coming off opening matches (OB vs Midtjylland, Viborg vs FC Copenhagen), making this a crucial early test. Their history of competitive encounters, with a high draw rate, suggests a potential stalemate.
Head-to-Head Record
Odense and Viborg have met 38 times since 2000, with OB holding a slight edge:
Total Matches: 38
Odense BK Wins: 18
Viborg FF Wins: 8
Draws: 12
The historical draw trend and recent stalemates (1-1 in 2021 and 2022) point to a tightly contested match. OB’s home advantage and promotion momentum are offset by Viborg’s recent head-to-head edge (three wins in last five) and Superliga experience. A 1-1 draw is predicted, with both teams likely to score, as seen in four of their last five meetings.
