Same race matches
As a BloodBowl coach I have always found same race matches Dull and Boring. Unless it is a modified league in which there are different stas for different variants of teams. I.E. Once we had a league of 5 people all with Halflings; It was in a BloodBowl magazine. That was fun.
So in this light I will rarely play matches against the same race.....

i dunno...i like same race match-ups....dwarf vs dwarf or orc vs orc can be quite tactical

Tactics are alright, but it always starts to feel like checkers after a few turns. I'd prefer a match where one of my checkers is a werewolf, and one of his is a vampire ;)

mirror matches are more skill-based, since it's more equal in terms of personnel.

Its like ag vs ag or basher vs basher. Most av breaks and the least doubble ones winns.
Just try and make your team "non- standard" and it won't matter who you play.

"Its like ag vs ag or basher vs basher. Most av breaks and the least double ones wins."
A broad generalisation. With same team matchups, it boils down to the choices the coach made when building the team, and the choices they make playing the match. (dice also have a tiny effect :p )
Basher/Basher, you'll get more AV breaks by having your Guards and MBs in the right place, and with a blocking pattern that maximises blocks made and limits blocks received.
Agility/Agility, the double ones are the killers, sure. Making your oppo roll more dice will increase the chance they hit those snakes.

I never used to like mirror-matches all that much ...
... then I played in a couple of XFL's and watched some more and have come around to appreciating them ... alot.
Sure, Dwarf v Dwarf can be tiresome, but any game involving Dwarves is already bereft of excitement.
