Legia Warsaw will host Sparta Praha at the Polish Army Stadium on Thursday in the fourth round of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign. The hosts will be hoping to return to winning ways and move into knockout qualification spots after a disappointing result last time out. Legia went ahead early in their game against Slovenian side NK Celje but conceded two late goals in the space of five minutes as they fell to a 2-1 defeat away from home to keep their points tally at three from an obtainable nine. Thanks for the submission! The Polish side have struggled to get results in recent months with only one win from their last 10 competitive outings and will need to make major improvements in coming weeks to avoid early elimination from the Conference League. Sparta Praha are only a point better off than Thursday’s hosts following their goalless draw with Rakow Czestochowa last time out, but are just two points away from the direct qualification spots. The Czech side, who are making their debut in the Conference League this season, have only lost two of their last 12 games and will be optimistic to continue their solid form when they face their second Polish opponents of the tournament. Legia Warsaw vs Sparta Praha Head-to-Head and Key Numbers Thursday’s match will mark the first ever meeting between the two sides. Legia have won three, drawn six and lost only one of their 10 previous competitive meetings with sides from the Czech Republic. Sparta Praha have 13 meetings against Polish opponents in European competitions. They have won seven, drawn three and lost three of those games. The hosts have scored three goals and conceded four across three games played in the Conference League while the visitors have scored four and conceded two in the same number of games. Legia Warsaw vs Sparta Praha Prediction The sides are very closely matched going into Thursday’s clash and Wojskowi will need to be at their best to stand a chance of getting all three points. Železná Sparta will rely on their stronger recent form and better defensive record to get a result on the road but will need to avoid complacency if they are to secure the win. Prediction: Legia Warsaw 1-2 Sparta Praha Legia Warsaw vs Sparta Praha Betting Tips Tip 1 Result: Sparta Tip 2 Goals Over/under 2. 5 Over 2. 5 goals (Four of the visitors’ last five games have featured more than 2. 5 goals) Tip 3 Both teams to score: Yes (Both teams have gotten on the scoresheet in five of the hosts’ last six games).

‘Next Year’ Trailer: ‘Fellow Travelers’ Star Jaleni Alladin Tries to Survive a Near-Future U.S. Where Homosexuality Is Outlawed (EXCLUSIVE)
“Next Year” may be resonating in more ways than the filmmakers originally imagined. A trailer for the short shows Jelani Alladin (“Fellow Travelers) as Robert, a father whose husband has died in a near-future America where “traditional values” have become law and homosexual activity is illegal. Zach Martens (“Sleep No More”) co-stars as Robert’s new love interest. Rounding out the cast is Sherz Aletaha (“First Wives Club”). The trailer explains that queer people have been banned by banks, targeted by police raids at gay bars and are subject to extreme surveillance by the government. “We all know when that asshole won that things would be bad. We had no idea they were going to be this bad,” Robert says in the trailer, after a government official is seen on a video ordering that “all suspicious homosexual activity must be reported immediately.” “Next Year” was written and directed by queer filmmaking duo and Emmy nominees Peter DiMario and Guto Barra. Costumes are by four-time Emmy nominee Joseph La Corte (“Murdaugh: Death in the Family”). “’Next Year’ is a deeply personal and politically resonant film that reflects the challenges facing LGBTQ+ communities today,” a logline of the movies reads. “It serves as both a warning and a testament to the resilience of love in dark times.” The film is currently showing at international film festivals, with the hope of earning an Academy Award qualification for the live-action short film category. Alladin’s credits also include “Tick, Tick. Boom!,’ Michael Schwartz’s short “Strangers on a Beach” with Zane Phillips and Jack Falahee, as well as television’s “Blue Blood” and “The Walking Dead: World Beyond.” DiMario and Bara earned multiple New York Emmy Awards for “Immersive. World” and “Dreams From the Deep End.” DiMario is also a Webby Award winner for “How Art Changed Me,” while Barra, a three-time Emmy recipient, has directed projects for HBO Max, Amazon Studios, Disney+, PBS and more. Their work has screened at MoMA and the Brooklyn Museum.

The RETURN of a Hidden Biblical Alien Race?
**What Did Jesus Really Know About the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim Giants?**
*Posted on November 15, 2025 by Twotone*
Is there more to the Bible’s ancient texts than we realize? What did Jesus truly know about the mysterious Book of Enoch and the Nephilim giants? Could the scriptures be hinting at “extraterrestrials” cohabiting with mankind during a forgotten golden age?
In a fascinating hour-long podcast, Glenn Beck sits down with Timothy Alberino for a mind-blowing conversation that connects the dots from Genesis 6 to the coming post-human apocalypse. As futurists like Yuval Harari openly declare the end of humanity, technologies such as gene editing, artificial wombs, IVF, and transhumanism are rapidly reshaping mankind in a new image.
Alberino issues a chilling wake-up call to Christians: *“There’s only one qualification for redemption at the cross of Christ — you must be human.”* Are we about to sell our birthright for a bowl of stew and step into a nightmarish dystopian future where humanity itself becomes obsolete?
Does transhumanism threaten our eternal salvation? Is our humanity worth preserving? This explosive episode is a spiritual red alert you cannot afford to miss. Anchor yourself in the gospel and join the conversation.

*What did Jesus really know about the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim giants? Christians believe He is God, so He would know everything there is to know about both.*
**Dr. Sivana:**
*“Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.” (John 2:5)*
I love Tim’s videos. I never thought that God was limited to just one planet.
**Sirius Lee:**
True. But since we’re not God, we get to speculate. 😉

😬 Italy facing the play-offs? Draw, opponents and schedule: all the details
A true sporting miracle. That’s how one could describe the 9-goal victory margin that was enough—using a hyperbole—for Gattuso’s Italy to overtake Norway at the photo finish in the 2026 World Cup qualification group and secure a ticket to the final phase of the prestigious competition.
While waiting for tonight’s match at San Siro, the Azzurri’s minds are already in Zurich, where the draw will determine their playoff path in March. They hope to break the spell and end the curse after two consecutive eliminations in the playoffs—first at the hands of Sweden and then North Macedonia—which caused Italy to miss the last two World Cups, Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022.
### How do the World Cup playoffs work?
The playoffs will assign another 4 spots to Europe, in addition to the 12 group winners from the qualification rounds. In contention are the 12 group runners-up plus the four best Nations League teams that didn’t qualify directly.
### Who qualifies directly for the 2026 World Cup?
In addition to Norway, who are on the verge of mathematical qualification, France and England are flying directly to the World Cup. Keep an eye on Spain, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Croatia, Netherlands, and Switzerland—all ready to secure their direct ticket to America.
### Date and seeding for the draw
The playoff draw is scheduled for Thursday, November 20 in Zurich at 1:00 PM. Italy will be in the top seed due to their ranking, alongside Turkey, Poland, and Ukraine (if they remain ahead of Iceland).
The other eight runners-up will be placed in the second pot (currently Wales, Scotland, Hungary, Czech Republic) or third pot (Slovakia, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo) depending on the ranking.
### Who could Italy face?
Among Italy’s possible opponents is Sweden, who famously eliminated the Azzurri coached by Ventura in 2017.
### When and where are the playoffs played?
The playoffs are scheduled for March 26 and 31, 2026. Gattuso’s national team would play a single-leg semifinal at home against a fourth-seeded team, “repechaged” among the winners of the 2024/25 Nations League. If they advance, the Azzurri would face a second or third-seeded team in the final.

Portugal vs Armenia Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2025
Portugal will welcome Armenia to the Estádio do Dragão in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday. The hosts currently top Group F, having won three of their five games. In contrast, Armenia has just one win to their name and sits at the bottom of the table.
Seleção das Quinas suffered their first defeat of the ongoing qualifying campaign earlier this week, losing 2-0 away to the Republic of Ireland. This match marked the first time since 2021 that Portugal failed to score in the qualifiers. They will be eager to return to their goalscoring form in this upcoming fixture.
Meanwhile, the visitors are struggling as well, having suffered a third consecutive loss in their previous qualifier—a 1-0 home defeat to Hungary. Armenia have now failed to score in four of their last five games.
**Portugal vs Armenia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers**
The two teams have met seven times across all competitions. As expected, Portugal has been dominant, securing five wins, with the other two matches ending in draws. Their most recent encounter was in September during the reverse fixture, where Portugal recorded a convincing 5-0 away victory.
In 2025, Armenia has registered just one win across all competitions, which was a home victory against Ireland in the World Cup qualifiers. Portugal, on the other hand, have conceded two goals in three of their last four qualifying games.
Armenia’s last three World Cup qualifying wins have all been at home, while they have failed to score in five of their last six away qualifier matches.
**Portugal vs Armenia Prediction**
After suffering only their second loss of the year earlier this week, Portugal will be keen to bounce back. They boast a 100% home record against Armenia, having kept two clean sheets in three matches, making them strong favorites for this encounter.
However, Portugal will be without Cristiano Ronaldo for this match, as the star player was sent off in the loss to Ireland.
Armenia will look to finish their qualifying campaign on a positive note. Despite losing their last three games without scoring, they remain motivated to improve their record, although they have failed to score in four of their seven matches against Portugal.
Portugal only need to avoid defeat to secure their qualification. Considering their home advantage and superior form, we back them to claim a comfortable victory.
**Prediction:** Portugal 3-1 Armenia
**Portugal vs Armenia Betting Tips**
– Tip 1: Result – Portugal to win
– Tip 2: Goals Over/Under 2.5 – Over 2.5 goals
– Tip 3: Both teams to score – Yes
– Tip 4: At least one goal to be scored in the second half – Yes

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Legia Warsaw Prediction and Betting Tips | October 23rd 2025
Shakhtar Donetsk will host Legia Warsaw at the Arena Lviv on Thursday in the second round of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign. The hosts aim to build on their solid opening round performance and position themselves well for knockout round qualification.
Three weeks ago, Shakhtar put up a strong fight after going behind in the opening 10 minutes, eventually securing a 3-2 win over Scottish side Aberdeen FC. They will be looking to replicate this performance midweek. The Ukrainian side, who have lost only one competitive game since April, are considered one of the favorites to win the Conference League. A win on Thursday would bring them a step closer to advancing to the next stage.
On the other hand, Legia Warsaw had a disappointing outing last time out, suffering a 1-0 home loss to Turkish side Samsunspor – marking Samsunspor’s first-ever European win. Since then, Legia have failed to win any of their subsequent competitive matches. The Polish side have struggled this season, with only three wins from their last 10 games. However, they remain optimistic about turning things around as they travel to Donetsk.
### Shakhtar Donetsk vs Legia Warsaw: Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Thursday’s match will be only the third meeting between these two clubs. Their first encounter came in the 2006-07 UEFA Champions League qualifiers, where Shakhtar won the two-legged tie 4-2 on aggregate.
This season, Shakhtar boasts the joint-third best offensive and defensive records in the Ukrainian top flight, having scored 15 goals and conceded just eight in nine games. Legia Warsaw reached the quarterfinals of last season’s Conference League but were eliminated by eventual champions Chelsea with an aggregate score of 5-1.
### Prediction
Shakhtar Donetsk are favorites to win on Thursday, thanks to their higher quality and superior recent form. The Ukrainian giants will need to stay focused and avoid complacency to secure all three points.
Legia Warsaw will have to be at their best—something rarely seen this season—to get a positive result against one of the tournament favorites. However, they will hope to gain a boost playing in their home country.
**Prediction: Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 Legia Warsaw**
### Betting Tips
– **Tip 1 – Result:** Shakhtar to win
– **Tip 2 – Goals Over/Under 2.5:** Over 2.5 goals (Three of Shakhtar’s last four games have featured more than 2.5 goals)
– **Tip 3 – Both Teams to Score:** Yes (Both teams have scored in three of Legia’s last four games)

Big money backs Bitcoin through 2026 – but the market is split today
**Are Institutions Still Bullish on Bitcoin’s Future?**
A recent Coinbase survey titled *“Navigating Uncertainty”* reveals that institutional optimism toward Bitcoin (BTC) remains strong, with nearly 67% of respondents expecting BTC prices to rise through 2026. However, amid this bullish outlook, uncertainty persists regarding the current phase of Bitcoin’s market cycle.
### Institutional Conviction Grows Amid Debate
While most large investors anticipate a price climb by 2026, there’s no clear consensus on whether Bitcoin is still in an early expansion phase or approaching its next peak. Around 45% of institutions believe we are in the later stages of a bull run, whereas others feel there is still ample room for growth.
David Duong from Coinbase highlights that market liquidity remains robust, maintaining a positive outlook despite recent volatility prompting increased investor caution.
### Whales and Long-Term Holders Lead Accumulation
On-chain data reinforces institutional confidence. Bitcoin exchange outflows remained strong throughout October, signaling continued accumulation even as market sentiment turned cautious. Santiment data shows that large holders — those with 10,000 to 100,000 BTC — increased their balances in Q3, further supporting the view that liquidity is solid and long-term conviction is strong.
Major players such as Tom Lee’s BitMine and Michael Saylor’s Strategy have notably bought the dip, investing in Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), respectively. This activity suggests big investors are positioning themselves for the next growth phase.
### Conviction Over Speculation
The report also notes that Bitcoin’s illiquid supply decreased by only 2% in Q3 despite price highs, indicating that most long-term holders (LTHs) are holding rather than selling. Glassnode data corroborates this trend, showing an increasing number of coins remaining untouched for over a year.
This steady accumulation indicates that Bitcoin is driven more by long-term confidence than by hype or speculation—aligning with Coinbase’s positive outlook through 2026.
