Hello and welcome to the Manchester Derby 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: edition of Wonder Goal, the soccer betting podcast from the 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: Action Network. My name is Michael Ebuff and it just 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: a moment. I will be joined by my footy fluttering 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: friends BJ Cunningham and Anthony Dubundo, and together the three 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: of us will handicap all ten upcoming Premier League matches. 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: Then we'll dive into some Bundesliga, some Syria a La 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: Liga Legal before giving out our favorite underdogs and then 24 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: wrapping everything up with our favorite bet from the weekend. 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: But there's only one place to start this week, and 26 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: it's at Old Trafford, where Manchester United will welcome their 27 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: inner city rivals Manchester City to the Theater of Dreams. 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: City has an odds on minus one forty five road 29 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: favorite to win this one. BJ Let's talk this one 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: through that Manchester unit has been an absolute roller coaster. 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: They're plus three to eighty at home. The City team 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: is obviously a wagon, but they're coming off a loss 33 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: to Crystal Palace in the Premier League. They did have 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble with Club Brus before putting 35 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: them away in Champions League. The draw sitting at plus 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: three ten. We've seen these two teams play to a 37 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: draw recently as last season. This is an eight thirty 38 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: am kickoff on Saturday, meaning that it's twelve thirty over 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: there in England because they haven't because we haven't had 40 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: daylight saving time, so it's in early kickoff too. There's 41 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: a lot of fun factors going to this one. How 42 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: do you see it playing out? 43 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: I think that this could be another Molly whopping of 44 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: Manchester United, similar to what Liverpool did a few weeks ago. 45 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 2: I have Manchester City projected at minus one sixteen in 46 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: the total at two point eight one, so currently I 47 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: don't really think there's much value in taking the money 48 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: line spread er total, but I do think that the 49 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: Manchester City team total is in play, especially in all 50 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: to one, like a two and a half maybe three 51 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: and a half. Because Rafael veron I limped off with 52 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: an injury in the Champions League on Wednesday, and it 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: got confirmed today that he's going to be out for 54 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 2: a month. That's a huge problem because a lot of 55 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: what Manchester United has had problems with is their defense 56 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: and defensive transition. Because Harry McGuire's out of form, Lindeloff 57 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 2: hasn't been playing great. So now Soulshar switches to a 58 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: three to five to two, Well, who's he going to 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 2: play at the back three? He's gonna play McGuire, Lindeloff, 60 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: who's questionable for this one in Eric Baidy, Like that's 61 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: not going to work against Manchester City, who now with 62 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: Jack Grealish in the lineup, are being much more direct, 63 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: much quicker in their transition going forward. I mean Grealish, 64 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: he's got forty three carries into the penalty area. The 65 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 2: next closest is Adam mont Treora at twenty five. He's 66 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: been pretty much the best player in the Premier League 67 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: from open play this season. The City has so many 68 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 2: attackers going forward that can just get right at this 69 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: Manchester United back line. So you could see what United 70 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: did last year. You could see them just basically sit 71 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: deep and try to play off a couple of low blocks, 72 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: then just send Rinaldo out on the counter. But Renaldo's 73 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: not going to defend at all, so You're just gonna 74 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: be basically playing nine versus ten the whole match against 75 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 2: pretty much one of the best attacks in the world 76 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: and basically get pinned in the entire match. So it 77 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: is a horrific matchup for Manchester United's similar to the 78 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: attacking prowess that Liverpool had going forward. So I'm gonna 79 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: go Manchester City team total over two and a half 80 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: at plus one ninety five. I wouldn't mind even trying 81 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: to go all the way up to three and a 82 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: half because I do think that if Manchester City scores 83 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: first and Manchester has to come out of those low blocks, 84 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: it has to actually play an open game with Pep Guardiola, 85 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: it could be just similar to Liverpool. It could be 86 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: five to nothing at half before this one's over. So 87 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: I'll take Manchester City team total over two and a 88 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: half at plus one ninety five. 89 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm right there with you. I like the City 90 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: team total over this. United teams just don't know what 91 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: to expect from them, not just on a game by 92 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: game basis, but like every ten minutes of a game 93 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: is something different. We just saw with their Champions League 94 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: gainst Atlanta they need Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandez to 95 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: rescue them twice. They were better against out a lot 96 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: in the first meeting between the two of them a 97 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, but same thing, right, they needed Ronaldo 98 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: to rescue them twice. I don't think that Christiano Ronaldo 99 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: is going to be able to do that. I don't 100 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: think Bruno Fernandez is going to be able to do 101 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: that against this City defense, which is probably top two 102 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: or three in the world, maybe even the best in 103 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: the world. So I like City to maybe pitch a 104 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: shot out, But I'm like you, I think chasing a 105 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: big price, maybe the six to one and over three 106 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: and a half or something for an early kickoff on Saturday, 107 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: maybe get the day started right. It seems like a 108 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: lot of fun, Anthony. What about you? 109 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Bja mentioned it with a twitch to 110 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: the three five two. I think that's the big key here. 111 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 3: You know, it worked against Tottenham, who doesn't have, you know, 112 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 3: a clear plan of ball progression. Tottenham didn't even start 113 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: tangying dumblay who's their best ball progressor in that game. 114 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 3: It made it much easier for United two man midfield 115 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: to really get the job done and kind of prevent 116 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: getting ripped apart. Pop Guardiola will have a very different 117 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: and a much better approach than Nuno a Spirito Santo did. 118 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: They're going to create a lot of overloads in the middle. 119 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: They're going to ice the wing backs quite a bit, 120 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 3: I think, and create some space in behind or in 121 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 3: between the wingbacks and the outside center backs. I have 122 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: major questions about Man United's ability to defend anything in 123 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: this match, but I also think we mentioned this a 124 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: few weeks ago. The City defense is not quite as impenetrable. 125 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: They're allowing teams to come at them a little more. 126 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 3: They're not quite as good at winning the ball back 127 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: as say the Guardiola teams of twenty eighteen and seventeen, 128 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: those pressing machines that one one hundred points in the 129 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 3: Premier League. They're not quite at that level in terms 130 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: of winning the ball back, but they're also not quite 131 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: at the boring slow possession, not let you have the ball, 132 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: not let you attack that the City was last season, 133 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: So I think there is some vulnerabilities here. And even 134 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: in the United drubbing against Liverpool, they still managed a 135 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 3: lot of shots and a lot of chances they probably 136 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 3: should have got one. Ultimately, they have one of the 137 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: best shot getters and scorers in the world still in 138 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 3: Christiano Ronaldo, so the plus that he provides on the 139 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,239 Speaker 3: offensive end combined with the minus that he is on defense, 140 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 3: and I'm very much expecting Guardiola to exploit the fact 141 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: that Renal though can't press the ball at all. I 142 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 3: think they'll be very easy for somebody like say John 143 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: Stones or Rubin Diaz to play out from the back 144 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 3: to carry the ball past the first line of defense 145 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: for United. So I think it's going to be an 146 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 3: open game. I know United have played conservatively against City 147 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 3: in the past, I'm not sure they're capable of that 148 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 3: with the current structure of the team. So both teams 149 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: to score an over two and a half goals. I 150 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: think City ultimately wins this one relatively comfortably. Not comfortable 151 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: laying in minus one to forty five. But City beat 152 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: to ts and over two and a half goals is 153 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 3: minus one ten. That's where I'll be on the Manchester 154 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: donedy yeat. 155 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: And it also begs for mentioning that this is a 156 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: very important game for City to get points fro like 157 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: Chelsea is in first place at twenty five. Let's say 158 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: City don't get three points here and Chelsea do what 159 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: they're supposed to do against Burnley like you're playing ketchup, 160 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: and sure they're able to do it. They're actually even 161 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: though they're behind Chelsea there plus one twenty five favorites 162 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: to win the Premier League. This is an important game. 163 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: I think Guardiola will know that and have this team 164 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: ready to take all three points. So that's the Manchester derby. 165 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: That's the early kickoff on Saturday. There is a game 166 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: on Friday, the Little Friday Night Lights in the Premier League. 167 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: Southampton plus one ten at home against Acid Villa who 168 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: are plus two fifty the draws plus two seventy. This 169 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: is four pm on Friday. I think this is probably 170 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: going to end up being a bi low opportunity on Villa. 171 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: They've lost four matches in a row, but they've scored 172 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: in all four of those matches. They've not been good. 173 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to gloss over that they've looked a 174 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: little lost is the best word without Jack Grealish, and 175 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: I just don't think Dean Smith has done a great 176 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: job of trying to figure out how to fit all 177 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: the pieces that he brought in in the summer to 178 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: replace Grealish correctly. But I don't think that the Southampton 179 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: team is much better in a vacuum than Asa Villa. 180 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: So the number is good enough. It might even get 181 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: better considering what Villa has been doing and the fact 182 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: that Southampton's been playing better. So I like this opportunity 183 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: to buy Loo on Villa. Anthony, what about you? 184 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: No no play for me at the current number plus 185 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: one ten's are out there. I do agree with you 186 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: that we may see some Southampton money come in late here. 187 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: If we do and we can get maybe you know, 188 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: minus one ten minus one fifteen on Villa plus a half, 189 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: then I'll probably jump in and buy low on Villa. 190 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: Southampton's numbers have actually been steadily rising in the last 191 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 3: few weeks. They've made some changes in personnel, going to 192 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: some younger guys. Brosia as a striker especially, has impressed 193 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: me with his performance, but he's questionable for this game. 194 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: He may not play. Southampton sitting comfortably in the mid table. 195 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: The biggest concern for Villa has been their defensive regression. 196 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: It's really started first half of last season. They were 197 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: one of the best defenses in the prem They had 198 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 3: a stretch in December and January where they played a 199 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 3: lot of the best teams in the league. Their numbers 200 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: took a big hit. They really haven't been great defensively since. 201 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: And now when you look at some of their numbers, 202 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 3: they're mighty concerning, down in the bottom five and expected 203 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: goals allowed, and they've been conceding a lot of clear 204 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: cut chances to a lot of very mediocre teams in 205 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 3: the last few weeks. So I'm a little concerned about 206 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: this defense. And you know, given that Southampton does have 207 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 3: some positive regression coming. But at a certain point, we 208 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 3: play numbers here, I make Villa or she'd be sid 209 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: head and plus one forty eight, and so you know, 210 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 3: we're getting to the point now where if we get 211 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 3: a little more steam on Southampton, I'll be jumping in 212 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: on Villa BJ. 213 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: I know you don't see much value on the money line, 214 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: but you are going to be playing this game in 215 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: a different way. 216 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go both team to score no. At 217 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: plus one twenty five. I mean this Auston Villa offense, 218 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: it's bad right now, only point nine to six, non 219 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: penalty expected goals per match eighteenth and big scoring chances 220 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: fifteenth and shots per ninety fourteenth in box entries. They 221 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 2: have not been able to replace Jack Realish whatsoever. And 222 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: eventually they might turn around. You know, they have played 223 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: a really tough schedule. Seven of their ten opponents so 224 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: far are in the top half of the table. But Southampton, 225 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: like you mentioned, Anthony, their defense is actually getting a 226 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: lot better, especially from last season. Basically, you know, they're 227 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: thirteenth and non penalty expected goals right now, but it's 228 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: because they're nineteenth and big scoring chances allowed. You know, 229 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: they're only third in box entries allowed, they're only fifth 230 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 2: in shots per ninety allowed. So it's still a really 231 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: good defense if they can just stop giving up those 232 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: big scoring chances. And for Aston Villa defensively, one thing 233 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: that they've really struggled. They've been horrible on set pieces 234 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: this year, they've had one of the worst on the 235 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: highest extal per shot in the Premier League. But Southampton 236 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: has only created like two expected goals off of twenty 237 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: seven set pieces, so it might not get exploited here. 238 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: I really just don't trust this Assinvil offense right now. 239 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 2: And I know Southampton has been progressively getting better, but 240 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: they're still pretty average in the XG table right now. 241 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: I only have both teams to score at minus one 242 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: oh seven. Yes, so I do like both teams to 243 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: score no at plus one twenty five. 244 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 245 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 3: One thing on that Philla's main reason they were in 246 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 3: the relegation fight a couple of years ago coming back 247 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 3: out of COVID was their defensive issues on set pieces. 248 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: They were much better last year. I was wondering if 249 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 3: it would be sustainable. Those numbers have regressed back to 250 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 3: what we saw when they were relegation fodder, and so 251 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 3: that's been the main culprit of the defensive regression. Also, 252 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: the midfield not quite doing as much ball winning as 253 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: they were last season. 254 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: Now I'd figure out when they played Burnley. 255 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been an interesting team. Dean Smith on the 256 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: hot seat a little bit. He's a Villa fan, he's 257 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: a Villa through and through. He got them promoted, but 258 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: those lose four last matches in a row in the 259 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: Premier League and all of a sudden everybody wants to 260 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: have you sacked. Let's move on to Saturday morning, eleven 261 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: am kickoff. Chelsea minus three ninety prohibitive favorites against Burnley, 262 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: who are eleven to one on the money line, the 263 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: draw plus five point fifty. I don't know how much 264 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: attention will be paid to this game, just because I 265 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: think everyone expects Chelsea to continue their little romp through 266 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: what has been just a cupcake schedule for them over there, 267 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: basically since the less international break Malmo twice, then they 268 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: played Norwich, Newcastle, now Burnley. It's it's been quite the 269 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: little vacation. And Thomas Dougal's done a good job of 270 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: rotating his squad right like Ross Barkley is getting minutes, 271 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: getting off his cheek minutes. He's doing a pretty good 272 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: job of getting guys in and out of the lineup. 273 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: Ben Chilwell, I like to over here we've talked a 274 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: lot about Chelsea's defensive numbers being due for some regression. 275 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: Ten point two expectacles against this year, only three allowed 276 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: in the Premier League, so that number should tick up 277 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: at some point. And Burnley's not been as much as 278 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: Burnley I guess as they normally have, like they are 279 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: mediocre offensively and mediocre defensively. Usually they're a little bit 280 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: more stout defensively and less exciting offensively. I think that 281 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: this game could go a couple of different ways. Maybe 282 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: Burnley gets one, but I think, like we saw last 283 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: week with the Newcastle game, I was pretty confident that 284 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: Chelsea would be able to cover the over by themselves. 285 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: They did it, and I see something similar here. But 286 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Burnley gets on the board. 287 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: And do you have anything on this game, even if 288 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: you don't have a play like, I think it is 289 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: interesting just to talk about this matchup because I think 290 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: Burnley is just very strange more than anything this year, 291 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: and they're usually just not we know what we're getting 292 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: out of Burnley not anymore. 293 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Burnley's defenses regressed hard. They're not doing 294 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: the things that you would expect to see from a 295 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 3: typical Burnley team who is beating their expected goals numbers, 296 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 3: getting a ton of bodies behind the ball blocking a 297 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 3: ton of shots. 298 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: We mentioned. 299 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 3: I think I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago 300 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: with Burnley when I bet an over in their game 301 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 3: and I said, like Nick Pope has regressed. He's no 302 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: longer being been the best shot stopper in the league. 303 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: He's actually been quite below average the last calendar year, 304 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 3: dating back to the end of last season. That that's 305 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: really part of where the regression started. They're also, like 306 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 3: I mentioned, blocking fewer shots. You know this matchup, you know, 307 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: and since you know, I think we have kind of 308 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 3: a narrative on this podcast, we're an anti Chelsea podcast. 309 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 3: I don't want to get that out there. Chelsea is 310 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 3: the third best team in this league by comfortable margin 311 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: in my numbers. I'm pretty sure BJ would agree with that. 312 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 3: They have just overperformed that to an excessive standard. The 313 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: reason for this is that they've been really early, really 314 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 3: good early in games. It's kind of similar to what 315 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 3: Liverpool did the year they won the title, where they 316 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 3: were very over very fortunate to overperform early in games, 317 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 3: grab an early lead and then shut it down. They haven't. 318 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 3: They just haven't been as good at shutting it down 319 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: this year. I'm not sure Burnley is the team. The 320 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 3: day will come when we're gonna we're gonna cash a 321 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 3: Chelsea defensive fade. This will not be the game where 322 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 3: I test it. Burnley does have a potential edge here 323 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 3: and crosses. They complete more crosses into the penalty area 324 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: than almost any team in the league. Chelsea can be 325 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 3: a little susceptible to crosses. That's one potential, so you 326 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 3: know maybe, but otherwise it's very hard to see Burnley 327 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: scoring here at Stanford Bridge. So I'm passing. 328 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: Here's a price you probably didn't think you would hear 329 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: in the preseason. That's Brentford as a minus one seventy 330 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: five favorite there at home against Norwich. So that's why 331 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: Norich is five to one on the money line the 332 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: draws plus three ten. This is eleven am on Saturday. 333 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: Brentford are in a little bit of an injury crisis 334 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: right now. They could have up to seven players not fit. 335 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: Their goalkeeper he's out for a while, so they're going 336 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: to go through a little bit of a wabble here. 337 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: I think we all expected this to come at some point. 338 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: A lot of times with teams like Brentford, you want 339 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: to ride with them during the their kind of hot 340 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: spell and then when the signals start to flash that 341 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: things could start to get a little uncomfortable. You don't 342 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: want to hop off, and I mean I don't want 343 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: to bet Norich five to one against this team like 344 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: they were both in the championship last year. Norwich won 345 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: the championship very comfortably last year. This number probably if 346 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: this game was played in September, would not be this close. However, 347 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: Norrich is terrible, so I'm just gonna really really think 348 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: hard on this one. But it's no Rich or nothing 349 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: for me, Anthony, what about you? 350 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: Yea? I'm gonna go both teams to score minus one 351 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: oh five. I've been talking about this since we started 352 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 3: the show. This Brentford defense is not going to hold 353 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 3: up as a top six to seven defense in the 354 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: Premier League. That would just be unheard of in historic 355 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 3: for a promoted team to be that good. They lose 356 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 3: their goalkeeper, they lose Asia, their center back. They can 357 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: see two quarter expected goals to Burnley, three goals, one 358 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: of which was partially due to the goalie air being 359 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 3: way out of position. Not feeling too great about the 360 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: Brentford defense right now, and how they project going forward 361 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: in the short to medium term even long term in 362 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 3: this league. And we have a Norich team who I 363 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 3: have back to score on a couple occasions. They have 364 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: let me down both times, so let's go back to 365 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 3: it again. The numbers are simple. I understand they're on 366 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 3: pace to be historically bad in terms of their numbers, 367 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: based on actual results, based on goal difference, based on 368 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 3: the fact they haven't won any of their games. They 369 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 3: have two draws out of ten matches played. Expected numbers 370 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 3: have them in line with just like a bad Premier 371 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 3: League team, not like a historically bad Premier League team, 372 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: in fact, not even as bad as Wes Brom was 373 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: for most of last season. So I think Norwich gets 374 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 3: on the board here. They have seven point nine expected goals, 375 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 3: They've only actually scored three goals. I think they'll get 376 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 3: one in this game. And Norwich have conceded nineteen expected goals, 377 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: most of any team in the league. Brentford's direct, counter 378 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 3: attacking type style will give this Norwich team issues. Norwich 379 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: has kind of lacked a defensive spine and they are 380 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: more recent trips into the Premier League, and so I 381 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: think both teams get on the board here. I don't 382 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: hate Norwich on the money line either as a potential flag. 383 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, real quick Derby County update. Derby County in the 384 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: seven eight season five points from the first ten matches 385 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 2: Norwich two. So I'll be tracking that as we go 386 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: along this season. 387 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that point is why we're seeing 388 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: value on the Canaries in the spot right, like everyone 389 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: is paying attention. Are they going to be the worst 390 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: team in the Premier League era? And as Anthony said 391 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: last year, like we've talked about what bram in a 392 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: similar light and it's just whoever's the worst team? I 393 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: mean two years before that we talked about Norwich again 394 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: in a similar light, like it's wherever's the worst team? 395 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: Gets talked about this way Usually it means the value 396 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: drives up. Does that value always come to fruition in 397 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: a win. No, they're five to one on the money 398 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: line for a reason. But yeah, it's a very tempting 399 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: number on a terribly untempting team for sure. Another eleven 400 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: am kickoff on Saturday, Crystal Palace, fresh off they're twenty 401 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: to one upset against Manchester City. They're plus one fifty 402 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: against Wolves who were plus two h five on the 403 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: road the draws plus two to twenty. Both of these 404 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: teams have been really impressive through the first third of 405 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: the season, Like I think Palace maybe more so. I 406 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: think less people probably expected them to look this good, 407 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: but they're both. They're underlying metrics are good, They're starting 408 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: to get results, so this is much more I think 409 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: if you would ask preseason, you know, pick out five 410 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: of the least interesting fixtures on the calendar, this one 411 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: might have made a lot of people's lists. But I think, 412 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: you know, speaking for all three of us, I'm really 413 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: intrigued by this matchup, and I think there is good 414 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: betting value and I know you two believe that too, 415 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: and we're all on the same side. So Bjay start 416 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: to break it down. 417 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't understand why Crystal Palace is even a 418 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 2: slight favor in this one. Wolves should be favored. They've 419 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 2: been incredibly impressive this season. Honestly, probably the one more 420 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: fun aesthetically pleasing teams to actually just watch from a 421 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: you know, the the eye test. But listen, Crystal Palace 422 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: has improved defensively with Mark g and Jockey Manderson at 423 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: center back to only a long one point one to 424 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: one non penalty expect goals per match, But some of 425 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: their other defensive metrics are a little concerning. You know, 426 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 2: they're eleventh in box centries lowed sixteenth and crosses completed 427 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 2: in their own eighteen yard box twelfth into progressive passes 428 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 2: allowed non a vieira. There they have the most pressures 429 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: of anybody in the Premier League, but their fourteenth and 430 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: passes per defensive action seventeenth the pressureus success rate allowed. 431 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: So especially facing a team like Wolves that is so 432 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: lethal with their combination passing going forward to beat the 433 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: press to defense that I think is going to regress 434 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: as we go forward throughout the season. And offensively, Crystals 435 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 2: hasn't really done much. I know they created they scored 436 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 2: the two goals against Manchester City, but other than that, 437 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 2: they really didn't do much for the entire match, even 438 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: tho they're up a man for forty five minutes. I 439 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 2: mean they've only created ten point nine to six non 440 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 2: penalty expected goals through their first ten matches. They're twelfth 441 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 2: in big scoring chances seventeenth and shots per ninety so like, 442 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: how are they going to create chances against the Wolves 443 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: defense that is second and non penalty expected goals allowed 444 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: and has lowed only six big scoring chances this season. 445 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: You know, Wolves doesn't press a ton, but when they do, 446 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 2: they're absolutely lethal. They're number one in pressure success rate, 447 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: while Crystal Palace is middle of the road against pressure. 448 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 2: So I have Wolves projected at plus one sixty four 449 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: as a slight favored in this one. So I don't 450 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: understand why they're they're underdogs, so I love their drawn 451 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 2: a bet line plus one twenty. I'm definitely going to 452 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 2: play the money line on Wolves, and I wonder if 453 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: this is going to be a situation where money will 454 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 2: come in on Wolverhampton. I would say that you're probably 455 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 2: better off betting this one sooner. 456 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: Rather than later. If you're going to be on Wolves, Anthony, 457 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: how do you see this one playing out? 458 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? I have a lot on this game in terms 459 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 3: of action that I'm going to be getting down to start. 460 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 3: I'll agree with both of you on Wolves. I've got 461 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 3: them draw, no bet. I bet that as soon as 462 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: it opened. I saw it right before kickoff against Everton, 463 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: grabbed some plus one twenty on the draw. No bet line. 464 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: Really like that. Agree with BJ. I project Wolves as 465 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 3: a tiny, tiny favorite minus one one, so pretty much 466 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 3: toss up, so I'll take the plus one twenty. There 467 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 3: bj mentioned this, Does anybody really believe that Palace and 468 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 3: Wolves are going to finish the season top six defensively? 469 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: No? 470 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 3: And so you know, Wolves have not played a particularly 471 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 3: difficult schedule of attacks. They have not played man City, 472 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 3: they have not played Chelsea, they have not played west Ham, 473 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,959 Speaker 3: they have not played Liverpool. So the tougher games are 474 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: coming for this Wolves team. Palace, when they've played any 475 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 3: you know what I would consider above average to good attacks, 476 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 3: they've looked significantly worse than they have. I think the 477 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: biggest improvement for them has come in games where they've 478 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: played against some of the worst teams that they're supposed 479 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 3: to be better than, and they've been better than them. 480 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: But they conceded almost too expected Arsenal. There were some 481 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 3: flukes in that got lucky in the sense that man 482 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 3: said he got a red card, which you know, blunts 483 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: the kind of the attacking numbers there. They got Tottenham 484 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 3: in a really good spot where Tottenham was missing multiple 485 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: key starters. So they've had a lot of benefits in 486 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 3: their scheduling as well. And so I also like over 487 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 3: two and a quarter goals or both teams to score. 488 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 3: You could play the both of you won. I think 489 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 3: this game is going to be more open than the 490 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,719 Speaker 3: Wolves Palace games of the past, and I think it's 491 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 3: going to be a very back and forth affair. And 492 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 3: so you know, some combination of both teams to score 493 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 3: or you could take the over two and a quarter 494 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 3: goals is what I like in terms of the total. 495 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 3: And I'm going to be playing Wolves on the drawing 496 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 3: o bet line a plus one twenty, so a lot 497 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: of action. This one is going to probably swing the weekend, 498 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: and so we'll see how it goes. 499 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: You can argue that that Wolves or Palace at this 500 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: point right now are the New Brighton. And speaking of 501 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: the Old Brighton, there minus one sixty at home against 502 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: Newcastle plus four seventy five the draw plus two ninety. 503 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: This is the one point thirty pm kickoff on Saturday. 504 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: Newcastle right now is plus one tend to be relegated. 505 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: We say it all the time. It's fun fodder. It 506 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: would just be so funny if maybe some karmic retribution, 507 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: if Newcastle gets relegated and the Saudi Arabian Prince has 508 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: to deal with a cold night in Luton or something 509 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: next year, rather than the Premier League wonders that he 510 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: was thinking of. I think Brighton is worth a bet 511 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: to on a blowout just because this Newcastle team, the 512 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: numbers are bad and there's a narrative issue here too, Right, 513 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: these players know that they are going to be not 514 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: playing for this team, maybe as soon as January. They 515 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: know that this coach isn't going to be coaching this 516 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: team it maybe as soon as after the international break. 517 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: So why would you outside of pride and trying to 518 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: hitch on with like another team or something. You know, 519 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: what are you playing for if you're Newcastle? Like, I 520 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: think an early goal from Brighton just all of a sudden, 521 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: this this game is gonna blow up. So I'm gonna 522 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: keep doing it. I want to bet against this Newcastle 523 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: team as much as I can. Obviously you're laying big 524 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: prices to do it, but i'd much other chase you know, 525 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: Brighton minus one perhaps or Brighton minus to whatever you 526 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: want to do. I think that's the way to go 527 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: nowhere else it's plus money Brighton minus one. So that's 528 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: where I'm heading. Going back to the Seagulls after an 529 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: impressive performance at Liverpool last weekend. BJ what about you? 530 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? Five thirty eight has Newcastle at sixty one percent 531 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: to get relegated, So the minus one ten actually has 532 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 2: some value right now. But I totally agree with you 533 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 2: Brighton minus one and plus one twenty five. We saw 534 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 2: the difference that Basuma and and Waypou playing together makes 535 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: when they started against Liverpool. They're pressing makes a load 536 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 2: of a difference. It really helps Brighton get going on 537 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: the counter tack. They made them look just like the 538 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 2: team we all fell in love with last season, and 539 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 2: this is another situation where I think they're just gonna 540 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: be able to thrash Newcastle's defense. Newcastle in transition has 541 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 2: been horrible. They've allowed the most expected goals in the 542 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 2: Premier League. They've allowed twenty big scoring chances. They're allowing 543 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: sixteen shots per ninety all of that is dead last 544 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: in the Premier League. They've also spent three hundred and 545 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: twelve minutes this season behind by at least one goal, 546 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 2: which is the most outside of Norwich. And when they're behind, 547 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: they're allowing one point five to three expected goals per 548 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 2: ninety minutes. So even though Brighton's offense hasn't been that great. 549 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: I mean their nineteenth and non penalty expected goals, so 550 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 2: they're not creating like they were last year. Newcastle's defense 551 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: is very easy to break down and once they get ahead, 552 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to press them and get going forward. 553 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: Because offensively Newcastle hasn't been great at all. Their last 554 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: four matches only two point four expected goals created against Chelsea, Tottenham, 555 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: Wolves and Crystal Palace. Brighton is top ten and non 556 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 2: penalty expected goals allowed. But what I love about most 557 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: about this matchup is Brighton's press is incredible. Newcastle is 558 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: one of the worst teams in the Premier Leage against 559 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: the press, so this one could get out of hand 560 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 2: very quickly at the American Express Community Stadium and they're 561 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 2: over in beautiful seaside Brighton. I love the Seagulls minus 562 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 2: one at plus one twenty five. I have there spread 563 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: projected at minus point nine to five, so I think 564 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 2: you're getting a decent amount of value on that plus 565 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: one twenty five. So I think this one is probably 566 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 2: going to be you know, we're maybe going to start 567 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 2: talking about is Newcastle really going to get relegated or 568 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: are they actually going to bring in a new, actual 569 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 2: high profile man, because right now no manager actually looks 570 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 2: like they want to touch that job with a ten 571 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: foot pole. I mean, Lunaiamor said no, which was kind 572 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: of shocking to me for him to come out and 573 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 2: say no. So we'll see what happens going forward with Newcastle. 574 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, I love Brighton minus one up plus one 575 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: twenty five. 576 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's just a team that's going to 577 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: be fun to bet against. Newcastle also obviously, traveling from 578 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: the northeast of England all the way down to the 579 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: south coast, it's just a real recipe for disaster. If 580 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: you don't want to play Brighton on the alternate lines 581 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 1: or whatever, they're probably pretty good parlay piece as well 582 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: on the money line. I like this next game a 583 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: lot too, just from a narrative standpoint, because I can't 584 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: believe Arsenal or minus two fifty five against anybody there. 585 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: Home against Watford we're seven to one the draws plus 586 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: three ninety. I get that Arsenal is a much better 587 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: team than Watford and their home and they've been playing better, 588 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: but who in their right mind would trust this team 589 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: enough to lay that kind of price bj can you no, 590 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: But I just. 591 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: Want to there's a narrative out there right now because 592 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 2: you know, obviously in the analytics committee we look at 593 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 2: it expect goals, we look at expected gold differential. If 594 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: you pop up understat right now, you'll see Arsenals in 595 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 2: sixth place and they have a negative four point five 596 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 2: expected gold differential regression regression, they're going to be terrible 597 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,239 Speaker 2: hold on. Their first three matches of the season were 598 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 2: really bad. They got thrashed by Chelsea City and Brentford. 599 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: But their last seven matches they've picked up seventeen points, 600 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: that's second most behind Chelsea in the Premier League. They 601 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 2: have a plus three point seven to three expected gold 602 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 2: differential in those matches. And when the difference is is 603 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 2: because Gabrielle and Ben White are the center back pairing, 604 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: which those two are either out or not playing together 605 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: for the first three matches. Since they've been together, only 606 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 2: one point zero three expected goals allowed per match for Arsenal. 607 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 2: So this is a team that's going to improve. And 608 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: also Aaron Ramsdell has been the second best keeper in 609 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 2: the Premier League. Is a plus two point two plus 610 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 2: minus for post shot expected gold differential it's second behind 611 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 2: only obviously Edward Mendy for Chelsea. So I'm not going 612 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 2: to play Arsenal at this big of a price. I 613 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 2: think as we see going forward, if Arsenal teams played 614 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: this well, they're going to be overpriced and I'm going 615 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: to have to bet against them, which I don't enjoy doing. 616 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 2: But Watford's really bad. I know they scored five goals 617 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: against Everton, but they came back down to earth against Southampton. 618 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: They're dead last in the Premier League and non penalty 619 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 2: expectacles allowed fifteenth and shots allowed for ninety seventeenth in 620 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: box entries allowed, so this could be an Arsenal route. 621 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: Arsenal could struggle and fall and like they do a 622 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 2: lot against inferior opponents, so it's stay away from me. 623 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 2: I have Arsenal projected at minus twenty eighty four, but 624 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: I do think that Arsenal could potentially be a team 625 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: maybe to bet on. When they play better teams inferior opponents, 626 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: They're going to be overvalued every time because the name value. 627 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: But when they play upcoming they have a couple matches 628 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 2: against Chelsea and Manchester United, we could see them actually 629 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 2: get priced as a maybe have some value so to 630 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: pass for me. But I do think this Arsenal team 631 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 2: has turned a corner and they're going to start challenging 632 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 2: maybe for the top four. 633 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the right way to look at 634 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: this one, right. It's almost like a watch and see 635 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: kind of game. This is still a really young team too, 636 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: that's playing for Arsenal, right, so there's spect to be 637 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: a top six team and you'll have players who are 638 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, this is their first kind of real kick 639 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: at the can in play for a quote unquote you know, 640 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: elite Premier League club, So they will they have mistakes 641 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: in them. But you did mention Aaron Ramsdale the whole 642 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,719 Speaker 1: soccer community always and big killer teded apology right now 643 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: because that move was lampooned and it seems like the 644 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: kind of pundit tree or pundits out there. US two 645 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: like analysts are swinging and missing a lot more on 646 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: things like this, like with David Moys and Ramstill, and 647 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: this team is similar to United, a little bit of 648 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: a roller coaster. Anthony, do you have anything on this one? 649 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? You know, if you're looking to play Arsenal, I'd 650 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 3: recommend a first half look instead of a second half. 651 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: Look. 652 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 3: The reason for that is Arsenal have actually in the 653 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 3: first twenty minutes of games, and Bija and I have 654 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 3: joked about this off pod. They've been the second third 655 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 3: best team in the league by expected goal difference. They've 656 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: come out firing in a lot of games. And I 657 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: know the samples are small, you can't read a ton 658 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 3: into it, but it is legitimate. I mean they've come 659 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 3: out hair on fire, pressing, winning a lot of balls 660 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 3: high up the pitch, turning that into good attacks and 661 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: then looking great dangerous to score from there. What has 662 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 3: happened when they've gotten leads And the reason I don't 663 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 3: like laying the goal in a half here is that 664 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 3: when they've got up two or three goals, they've sat 665 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 3: off quite a bit. They did it against Tottenham. Tottenham 666 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: kind of dominated the second half and for good reason, 667 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 3: they'd won the match, the match was over. The same 668 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 3: thing happened against Villa. Even if with the lead against 669 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 3: Palace they did not look that impressive. They blew the 670 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: lead Ultimately, when they've been up one, two or three 671 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: goals this year, they're actually in the bottom ten expected 672 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 3: goal difference. They're actually the second worst team went up 673 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 3: multiple goals, so I don't want Arsenal up to here 674 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 3: kind of just mosing around with the ball, conceding a 675 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 3: dumb goal and losing to one and a half. I 676 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 3: think if you're going to back Arsenal here, you've got 677 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: to take them in the first half on the money line, 678 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 3: expect them to come out, make an early statement and 679 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: then kind of sit. You could also look for a 680 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 3: potential live under as well. 681 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 2: Hey, we're still just trying to learn how to play 682 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 2: with the lead. Okay, it takes people time. We haven't 683 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 2: been in this position before, but you know, maybe those 684 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: things will change. 685 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: The managerial matchup's funny too, with Rinieri coming into town 686 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: take over the Squatford team. Who knows how long he'll 687 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: be in the job because Watford likes to flip their 688 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: managers every six matches or so. Right, let's move on 689 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: nine am Sunday kickoff as well. This is leads there 690 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: plus one eighty at home against Leicester plus one fifty 691 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: the draws plus two fifty five. I'll take a pretty 692 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: heavy look at Leicester in this one. I haven't played 693 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: it yet. Thinking about it, I don't think leads should 694 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: be this short. Is the point like they did just win, 695 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: but they beat Norwich City to one, so it's not 696 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: like they're back or whatever. There certainly aren't raffine you 697 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: look good though. I mean they're gonna get results because 698 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: they do have enough talent and Bielsa his teams are 699 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: tough to play against, but this lesser team is their 700 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: offense continues to get better, So no way, I'm trusting 701 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: this Leads defense to get the stops needed and not 702 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: make the mistakes to beat a team that's this clinical 703 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: in front of goal. Anthony, what about you? 704 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 3: Yeah? Leicester City is actually one of my favorite bets 705 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 3: of the weekend. It's funny how anti we were an 706 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 3: anti Lester podcast early in the season. Now we're almost 707 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 3: a pro Leicester podcast. I think we've been backing them 708 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 3: a lot more recently, but we are most definitely and 709 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 3: anti Leads podcast. Leaves I am did not actually watch 710 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 3: Lee Leads Norwich match, but digging through the box after 711 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 3: the fact, very unimpressed their performance from Leads against. Some 712 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 3: are saying the worst team since Darby County. Well, if 713 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 3: that's the case, Leeds barely beating them and not looking 714 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 3: particularly impressive and doing so is a major red flag. 715 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 3: They're still having some injury issues as well, so I'm 716 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 3: not really looking to buy into this team at all, 717 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 3: and so I think this is underpriced. I've got Lester 718 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 3: minus one forty six on the drawing no bet line. 719 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 3: I've been low on leads all year though, so I 720 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 3: do take that into into consideration. But when you look 721 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 3: at this Lester attack, it's just been a straight trend 722 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: line upwards. We're seeing more Daca, We're seeing more Ianacho, 723 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 3: They've been contributing more. Madison, who's kind of been at 724 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 3: a form, has been playing less. Brendan Rodgers is tweaking 725 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 3: with the system a little bit, They're playing on the 726 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 3: counter more. All these things are things I like to see, 727 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 3: especially heading into a game against Leeds, who is going 728 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 3: to give Lester a lot of space to run into 729 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 3: and is going to allow them to get in behind 730 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 3: quite a bit as well. So Leicester City drawing a 731 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 3: bet minus one twenty one twenty five fine with me. 732 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 3: That's one of my favorite plays of the weekend. 733 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think when you're handicapping leads, you're looking at 734 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: their opponents saying how much is this offense capable of punishing? 735 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: At very poorest defense, and BJ I think you're going 736 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: to tell us that lesser is pretty capable of doing that. 737 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 2: Absolutely, a lesser team total over one and a half 738 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: at even money. We talked about it last pot, but 739 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 2: Lester's really turned a quarter offensively. They didn't score against Arsenal, 740 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: but they did create two point one expected goals. Since 741 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 2: September twentieth, after they lost to Brighton, they've created nine 742 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 2: point one six expected goals in five matches. That's the 743 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 2: third best mark in the Premier League, behind only West 744 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 2: Ham and Liverpool. They'll be afforded a ton of space 745 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: going forward. It's a Leeds defense that's sixteenth and non 746 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: penalty expect goles allowed seventeenth and shots allowed for ninety Also, 747 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 2: when Brendan Rodgers went up against Marcelo Bielsa's Leads team 748 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 2: last year, they scored a combined five goals and created 749 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 2: five point one to eight expected goals in the two meetings. 750 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 2: So for one of the hot, hottest offenses, that is 751 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: an incredible counter attacking team. Against the Leeds high press, 752 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 2: they're going to be afforded tons of space. This is 753 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 2: a hort like Anthey mintioned. This is a horrible match 754 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: up for Leeds, who's really regressed. So I love less 755 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: your team total over one and a half at even 756 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: money in a game that probably won't be as wide open. 757 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: We got Tottenham visiting Everdon Spurs plus one fifty five 758 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,239 Speaker 2: road favorites Everdon plus two hundred on the money line 759 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 2: to Druss plus two fifteen another nine am kickoff on Sunday. 760 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: Spurs obviously have a new manager coming to town in 761 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: Antonio Conte. Everton they looked horrible in the last twenty 762 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: minutes against Watford, and then they looked even worse in 763 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: the first forty five minutes against Wolves, but then they 764 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: looked pretty good against Wolves in the second half. I 765 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: don't know which team's going to show up, but I 766 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: do think that this number on Tottenham is too short. 767 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: And I get there's gonna be a new manager bounce, 768 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: and there could be some you know, motivated players who 769 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: probably weren't too inspired to play for the sad Jedi 770 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: Nuno Aspiritosanto. But I think this Everdon team maybe is 771 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: a little undervalued, coming off of two performances that I 772 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: think people Yes, the Watford one was terrible, the Wolves 773 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: won they were even unexpected goals. The game state have 774 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,239 Speaker 1: a little bit to do with that perhaps, but they 775 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: really did look impressive in that second half, so I 776 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: think two to one is a good enough number to 777 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: get involved with Everton. Here, Anthony, I know you are 778 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: super excited to welcome Antonio Conte to North London, so 779 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: something tells me that you're going to be on the yids. 780 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 3: Here Rivaderce to new know Espirato Santo, Goodbye, Welcome Antonio Conte. 781 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 3: One of my favorite managers. You know, since I've been 782 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 3: a fan of the sport we call football, somebody who 783 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 3: has won everywhere he's gone, somebody who has more importantly 784 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 3: improved the chances created and the chances allowed very quickly, 785 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 3: the expected goals numbers at every club he's been to 786 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 3: in the last decade. For whether it was Juve, whether 787 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 3: it was at Chelsea when he won the Premier League, 788 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 3: whether it was at inter Milan where he just ended 789 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 3: Juventus's run of Scudeto's. This guy has a system that 790 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 3: I actually think fits Tattenham really well. I wrote about 791 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 3: this on the Action Network. He loved Emerson royalees right 792 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,760 Speaker 3: wing back. He wanted to inter Milan. He loved Tangy 793 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 3: and Dumbley as a center midfielder. He wanted him in 794 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 3: inter Milan. He's going to have to make some changes 795 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 3: in personnel and Tottenham has to get better before I 796 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 3: think they really challenge for Top four this year. I 797 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 3: think it might be a bridge too far. But this 798 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 3: weekend I think you're going to see a very inspired 799 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 3: Tottenham effort. I mean they have looked flat for the 800 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 3: last month and you know the reports out of the 801 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,760 Speaker 3: training where that they didn't really believe in a Spirito 802 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 3: Santo was actually senior players who went to chairman Daniel 803 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 3: Levy and said, look, we don't really believe in this guy. 804 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 3: He doesn't seem to have a plan in training and 805 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 3: it looked like they had no plan on the pitch too, 806 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,359 Speaker 3: in terms of how to progress the ball up the pitch. 807 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 3: Kante has an established, proven system. He's been training with 808 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 3: the team all week. They're going to actually get a 809 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 3: match on Thursday, which I think actually helps Tottenham in 810 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 3: this situation in the sense that they're going to be 811 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 3: able to kind of tinker around with it and get 812 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 3: a game under their belt in the Conte system and 813 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 3: start playing in the three five to two. The big 814 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 3: question mark and this is what is given me a 815 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 3: little bit of pause, is do I I think Harry 816 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 3: Kane is cooked? Is he in a bad run? Does 817 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 3: he not want to be at Tottenham? Or was it 818 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 3: a new note thing and he's gonna play harder now. 819 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: I don't know the. 820 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 3: Answer to that. I think that's gonna be the one 821 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 3: lingering question we're gonna have to find out. I'm guessing 822 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 3: there's gonna be a new striker coming in as well. 823 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 3: But in terms of Tottenham's long and medium term prospects, 824 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 3: I love the move to get Conte. In the short term, 825 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 3: I think they win on Sunday. We've talked about the 826 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 3: new manager bounce. Some of it is a little bit 827 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 3: over hyped because what happens is managers tend to get 828 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 3: sacked because teams are running unlucky. That's not really the 829 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 3: case with Tottenham. They were just bad. But when you 830 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 3: look at the collection of players in this Tottenham team, 831 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 3: they are better then their positioning. The table indicates they're 832 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 3: better than they're expected. Goals numbers indicates there will be 833 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 3: a regression coming and under a more solidified system they 834 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 3: should be able to pick apart an Everton team who 835 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 3: I continue to not be impressed by and Michael and 836 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 3: I have. We've gone back and forth, and he cashed 837 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 3: a lot of Everton tickets early, near to his credit. 838 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 3: But they're starting to look a lot more like the 839 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 3: team I was expecting. No Calvert Lewin is blunting the 840 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 3: attack a little bit and the defense is looking a 841 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 3: little bit thin right now. So I like Spurs. I 842 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 3: grabbed the play early, but I still like the money 843 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 3: line here. I wouldn't look to the draw no bet 844 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 3: as much because it's a little bit steep and juice now. 845 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,479 Speaker 3: But contes in town and Tottenham is coming back. Sorry, BJ, 846 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 3: that's fine. 847 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: You're right about the Everdent defense being thin. I think 848 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 1: they've let six point eight expected goals in their last 849 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: three matches. Those three matches were without Yery Mina, who's 850 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: their best center back. If he's back, I think that 851 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: makes this evident number much more palatable. You also have 852 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: to worry about Luca Dean, who the past weekend at Wolves, 853 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: so there are evident injury issues, so you can definitely wait. 854 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 1: I think, just like you said, Anthony, like I think 855 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: there's going to be some more action to come on 856 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: Tottenham too, because of the Conte thing. So this number 857 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: on Everyden could keep going up, but I think two 858 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: to one are better. It's good enough for me. BJ 859 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: Where are you going for one of the podcast Darby's 860 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: Everdent and Spurs. 861 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to know how much a new manager 862 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 2: bump is? Well, Everton opened at plus one fifty and 863 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 2: out there two to one. I mean, I understand Antonio 864 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 2: is one of the best managers in the world and 865 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 2: that he's going to bring in a system that's really 866 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 2: going to improve Harry Kane and Hun min Son and 867 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 2: the Tottenham attack. That's eighteenth and non penalty expecting goals 868 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 2: this season. But that's a little crazy for me. And 869 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 2: I don't really want to take this averaging team without 870 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 2: your amina because their defense is really bad. But if 871 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 2: the Tottenham offensive numbers pick up with the Everton defensive 872 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 2: numbers being as bad as they are, I do think 873 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 2: we have a chance of seeing it over here because listen, 874 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 2: Everton they created one point nine to eight expected goals 875 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 2: against Wolves. They look much better in the second half 876 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 2: even without Dominique Calvert Lewin this season. In the seven matches, 877 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 2: Everton's created ten point nine to four expected goals well 878 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 2: Tottenham's defense in the last seven matches is allowed eleven 879 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 2: expected goals, so I think we have a chance potentially 880 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 2: a high scoring game here. Interested to see what happens 881 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 2: on Thursday with Conte and the style he kind of plays. 882 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 2: If it's more open or if it's more compact like 883 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 2: New played, we'll see, or I don't know who they're 884 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 2: playing him at fake eure up a conference league right now. 885 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 3: It's the Tests, the Dutch side who beats tall on 886 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,040 Speaker 3: one nil two weeks ago, Chelsea. 887 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 2: The Chelsea loan club. Perfect, yes, but I have two 888 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 2: point seven goals projected for this one, so I do 889 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 2: think there's a shot at over two and a half goals, 890 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 2: given how bad Avertons defense has been and how actually 891 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 2: good their offense has been without Dominique Calvert loaning there in, 892 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 2: Tottenham's offense should improve with contest, So over two and 893 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 2: a half goals at plus one five for me. 894 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,800 Speaker 1: It's funny when Rafiad beneath this took over for Everton. 895 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: Everyone said he's going to get your organized, he's going 896 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: to improve your defense. If you actually ended up doing 897 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: kind of the opposite. Their offense is much better than 898 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: it was expected. To be even without Calvert Lewin and 899 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: their defense has been shambolic at times and they seem 900 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: to lose sight of the fundamentals, which is go figure. 901 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: It's impossible to predict sports. So here we are the 902 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: co main event, a afternoon kickoff on Sunday. West Ham 903 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: plus three eighty home underdogs Liverpool minus one forty five 904 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 1: the draw plus three twenty. These are two top four teams. 905 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: These are two of the four best teams in the 906 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: Premier League right now, which is why I like west 907 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: Ham right This is a team at home nearly four 908 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: to one, and yes, I do understand Liverpool. Look, I 909 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: bet against Liverpool a lot because I just think their 910 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: numbers are always overvalued. But they win a lot, so 911 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: I end up losing a lot of money on betting 912 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: against them. At some point maybe I'll stop doing that, 913 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: but my self control is not at that maturity let yet, 914 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: and I can't stop betting this west Ham team, especially 915 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: at this price plus three eighty. This is a team 916 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: that is basically top five in every metric we look at, 917 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: and we try to play on both offense and defense. Yes, 918 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: Liverpool's offense is a lot trickier to handle than most 919 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: of the other teams that west Ham has seen this season, 920 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: but this team is just really, really good. And when 921 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: they're playing a team like Liverpool, or they're playing a 922 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,439 Speaker 1: team like Chelsea or Manchester City, their number is gonna 923 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: be inflated because they aren't they don't have the name recognition. 924 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: So I'm backing west Ham plus three eighty. I really 925 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: really like this bet. If you don't want to bet 926 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: the money line, I think you know if you want 927 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: to back them plus a goal or plus half a 928 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: goal or whatever, however however you want you want to 929 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: bet it. I know I tend to be much more 930 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: happy taking risks than the most folks, but I just 931 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: really can't look away from this number. BJ. What about you? 932 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 2: I agree? I love, love love this west Ham team, 933 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 2: the way they're playing right now. Fourth and non penalty 934 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 2: expected goals fifth and shots brandy and fourth and big 935 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 2: scoring chanceas. But what's huge in this matchup is they 936 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 2: are top five in offensive pass for defensive action and 937 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 2: pressure success rate alout, which were two stats that Brighton 938 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 2: was near the top in as well, and we saw 939 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 2: how they were able to handle Liverpool's high press and 940 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 2: go forward on the counter. Now Liverpool will have some 941 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,720 Speaker 2: of their midfielders back for Binho played in the Champions 942 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 2: League today. It looks like the Ago is probable to 943 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 2: play on Saturday, So the handicap of Liverpool is midfield 944 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 2: not being able to handle Thomas Seychek and Dekland. Rice 945 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 2: is kind of out the window. But these two are 946 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 2: still maybe one of the best defensive midfield pairing in 947 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 2: the entire Premier League right now. They play really well 948 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 2: off each other, Soychik is kind of the guy who 949 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 2: likes to go forward and press a lot more, while 950 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 2: Rice kind of stays back and is that last ditch 951 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 2: effort before you get to the back line. Declan Rice 952 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 2: this season is basically in He's in the form of 953 00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:02,280 Speaker 2: his life. He is sixth in interceptions and tackles this season. 954 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 3: Well. 955 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 2: Sychek has the sixth best pressure success rate for players 956 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 2: who have over one hundred pressures this year. But the 957 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 2: question is is west can west Ham's backline hold up 958 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 2: against Liverpool's attack, which you know wasn't great that against 959 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 2: Brighton this past weekend they only created one point three 960 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,800 Speaker 2: seven expected goals. They obviously got the red card and 961 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 2: was able to thrash Athletti co Madrid. We'll see if 962 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 2: west Ham's defense can hold up. They are, you know, 963 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 2: near the top and pretty much every defensive metric. But 964 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 2: I do like west Ham plus half a goal, which 965 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 2: is currently at plus one twenty. The line of Liverpool 966 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 2: is kind of crashing. They opened around minus one sixty 967 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 2: and they're already down to minus one forty, so it 968 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 2: looks like there is some west Ham money coming in. 969 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 2: It looks like people do believe in the Hammers, so 970 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 2: it might be a good idea to grab west Ham. Now, 971 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 2: a lot of projection models out there Liverpool closer to 972 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 2: fifty percent. I only have them at plus one oh nine, 973 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 2: so I love west Ham plus half a goal at 974 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 2: plus one twenty. 975 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: That's a great match too to send the Premier League 976 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: into the international break. All right, we'll move on from 977 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: England to Germany the bundes Liga. My favorite bet in 978 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: Germany this week is Union Berlin. They're taking on Cologne 979 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: Sunday eleven thirty am, kickoff, Berlin plus two thirty on 980 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: the money line. Their defense has been good. I like 981 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: to back good defenses at big numbers, so yes, the 982 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,760 Speaker 1: Clone offense is good, but I think that this Berlin 983 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: defense can handle it, and you're probably going to score 984 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: against this defense. No clean sheets for Clone in the 985 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: Bundesliga yet this season. So as mediocre and pedestrian as 986 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 1: Junion Berlin's offenses, I'll take a step here at a 987 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: decent number BJ what about you, Yeah. 988 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 2: Let's go Hurth of Berlin Leverkusen under two and a 989 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 2: half goals at plus one ten Hurder. Berlin's one of 990 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 2: the worst offenses in Germany, creating only one point one 991 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 2: six expected goals per match. They're also dead last and 992 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 2: shots per ninety box entries and crosses completed into the 993 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 2: penalty area. But they've actually been pretty good defensively. Their 994 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 2: numbers are a little inflated because they have a five 995 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 2: to zero loss to Byron six to SOHO lost RBIY Leipsig, 996 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 2: but in their last four matches against Freiburg, frank Bert 997 00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 2: Hoffenheim and Freiberg there only allowed three point eight nine 998 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: expected goals and three of those four offenses are head 999 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 2: of Leverkusen unexpected goals. Because we've talked about it, I 1000 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 2: think at nauseum and you guys are probably sick of 1001 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 2: hearing about it. But Leverkusen's offense is overrated. They've scored 1002 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,439 Speaker 2: twenty three goals off of fifteen point one eight expected goals. 1003 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 2: They're tenth in shots for ninety sixteenth in big scoring chances, 1004 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 2: and we saw a lot of that regression come against 1005 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 2: Wolfberg this past weekend. The only created point six y 1006 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,399 Speaker 2: one non penalty expected goals. I only have two point 1007 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 2: three to four goals projected for this match, so I 1008 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 2: think there's some value on under two and a half 1009 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 2: goals at plus one ten. But hey, these teams will 1010 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 2: probably score like four goals off of like one point 1011 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 2: two expected goals and we'll all have our head in 1012 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 2: our head in our hands. But whatever, let's take under 1013 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 2: two and a half goals at plus one ten. 1014 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: Anthony, what's your favorite bet in Germany? This weekend? 1015 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 3: It was actually poetic seeing Leverkusen miss a stoppage time 1016 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 3: penalty that was irrelevant to the result. The game was over, 1017 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 3: but I did. I did crack a smile, shed a tear, 1018 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 3: cashed a Leverkusen fade. It was like hitting the lottery 1019 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,320 Speaker 3: twice in a row. I am passing on my Leverkusen 1020 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 3: fade for now. I may end up actually playing hur 1021 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 3: at the two agree with bj on that one. I'm 1022 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 3: looking at Wolfsburg. My guy, Florian Koltfeldt is in van 1023 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 3: Bommel is out a disastrous run for him. After a 1024 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 3: hot start. They were a mess. The team was falling apart. 1025 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 3: They were a little bit unlucky. They were undperforming their 1026 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 3: expected goals in front of net by quite a bit. 1027 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 3: But Lutz Vegast, my guy, my striker, is back in 1028 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 3: the lineup. He played really well. He didn't get a goal, 1029 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 3: but he played really well in the Champions League against Salzburg. 1030 00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 3: Osburg is off. I mean, they are the worst team 1031 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 3: by expected goals allowed in the Bundesliga. Their they play 1032 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 3: a bit of a counter attacking style, that an extreme 1033 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,280 Speaker 3: counter attacking style, but they're conceding lots of good chances 1034 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 3: and Wolfsburg's defense is excellent at preventing big scoring chances. 1035 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 3: That's where Osburg will look to get at this Wolfsburg team. 1036 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,479 Speaker 3: I'm not sure how they do it, but I'm riding 1037 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 3: the Coltfeldt train. He was at Verte Bremen the last 1038 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 3: few years. Got relegated with Verte Bremen, but back to 1039 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 3: back years they were underperforming their spa to goals like 1040 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 3: quite a bit. They should not have been relegated. A 1041 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,439 Speaker 3: little unlucky. There an underrated manager making some changes, making 1042 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 3: some improvements. I got a Wolfsburg team who's coming for 1043 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 3: some positive aggression. I'm backing them again minus one, minus 1044 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 3: one ten taking a favorite in the Bundesliga. What can 1045 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 3: go wrong? 1046 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: He's got a he wears a turtleneck. Really well, that gentleman, 1047 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,879 Speaker 1: Let's travel south to Italy, Anthony. I'll go right back 1048 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: to you for your favorite bet in Syria this weekend. 1049 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go to the Milan Derby. It's the game 1050 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 3: of the weekend. Some will say the game of the 1051 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,320 Speaker 3: year in Syria. Inter Milan AC Milan. A lot of 1052 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 3: Milan's being played, but the original Milan, the actual Milan, 1053 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 3: I should say, is overrated, still in the market, and 1054 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,919 Speaker 3: we're getting, you know, a look at you know, after 1055 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 3: about ten matches you can kind of draw some conclusions. 1056 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 3: How is AC Milan different this year than last year? 1057 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,720 Speaker 3: Their defense is improved. For Kayo Tamori has been excellent 1058 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,320 Speaker 3: in the defensive line. Mike Manions out injured, but the 1059 00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 3: backup goalie is done a relatively solid job at shotstop keeping. 1060 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 3: This defense pretty solid and Ishbiel Beniser their best defensive midfielder, 1061 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 3: one of the more underrated defensive midfielders in the world, 1062 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,839 Speaker 3: got a lot of buzz for some big clubs until 1063 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 3: he had an injury issue last year. He's been healthier, 1064 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 3: which has made this Milan defense much better going up 1065 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 3: against inter who started the year blazing hot in attack 1066 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 3: and have cooled off considerably since then. They're still one 1067 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 3: of the best attacks in Syria, but they're not quite 1068 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 3: as good as the numbers indicate. They have overperformed quite 1069 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 3: a bit early in the season. I don't mind splitting 1070 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,359 Speaker 3: a unit here on the first half under one point 1071 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 3: twenty five and the full game under three. That's probably 1072 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 3: where I'll end up being on this game. Have to 1073 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 3: dig a little bit more into the numbers. But Milan's 1074 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 3: defense trending up, inter Milan's offense trending down. I like 1075 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 3: under three minus one thirty here the actual number on 1076 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 3: inter Milan. They have scored twenty eight goals from twenty 1077 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 3: one expected, so still some regression going to be coming there. 1078 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 3: Atara Martinez career average finisher, same with Edwin Jeco. No 1079 00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 3: real reason they should be overperforming by this much, so 1080 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a KG low 1081 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 3: scoring affair where a point is good for both teams 1082 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 3: given their current situations in the table. 1083 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,760 Speaker 1: At BJ, what is your favorite bet in Syria? 1084 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Juventus minus one fifty. I think it's 1085 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,800 Speaker 2: just a perfect buy low spot for them. They obviously 1086 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 2: looked fantastic in the Champions League. We're all on Zene, 1087 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,839 Speaker 2: but they looked fantastic against them on Wednesday. They're due 1088 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 2: for some positive aggression. Offensively, They've created nineteen point zero 1089 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,399 Speaker 2: one expected goals and I've only scored fifteen. And listen, 1090 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 2: I've been against Fiorentina quite a bit this season, but 1091 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 2: they have been steadily improving. Their defense is fourth and 1092 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 2: non penalty expected goals allowed, they're first and shots per 1093 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 2: ninety allowed, their first in box entries allowed. But in 1094 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 2: their big four, biggest four matches of the Syrias season 1095 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 2: against Roma, Atalanta, inter Anapoli, they were absolutely thrashed nine 1096 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 2: point two nine expected goals allowed in those four matches. 1097 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 2: So basically they're just dominating inferior opponents. So I need 1098 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 2: to know mark that down and I take one of 1099 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 2: these teams like Specy at five to one against them. 1100 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 2: Maybe I should just move on with my life and 1101 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 2: not take it. But as the stands for this match, 1102 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 2: Fiorentina is not that great away from home to two 1103 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 2: point nine to five non penalty expected goal differential and 1104 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 2: six matches, I've only created three point six to one 1105 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 2: non penalty expected goals in those matches, and also seven 1106 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 2: of Fiorentina's five goals this season have come off of 1107 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,840 Speaker 2: penalties or set pieces, and Juventus defensively is still pretty 1108 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 2: good six the non penalty expected goals allowed seventh and 1109 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 2: shots for ninety allowed. I have Uventus projected at minus 1110 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,880 Speaker 2: two twenty one, so I think this is a good 1111 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,319 Speaker 2: by low spot against an offense that is pretty much 1112 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 2: only built on scoring off of set pieces. So Juventus 1113 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,319 Speaker 2: minus one to fifty is my pick. 1114 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 1: All right, We'll move on to La Liga and for 1115 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: the first time in ages, I won't be betting the 1116 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: Athletic Gobao draw. Instead, I'll be backing Riassociate Dodd plus 1117 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: one forty at Osasuna on Sunday at twelve thirty associate 1118 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: dot top four defense. Osasuna terrible offense. So I'll just 1119 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: trust the numbers and think that this is a good 1120 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 1: number on a really good team in Spain that we 1121 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: all like. I'll probably end up betting the Athletic Bobou 1122 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: draw anyways, Anthony, what about you? 1123 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, great cash on the Billboo draw last weekend. Down 1124 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:06,320 Speaker 3: a man in stoppage time, no problem for them. But 1125 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,840 Speaker 3: I'm looking at the Celta Ego Barcelona game. One of 1126 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 3: these times Barcelona's offense is going to explode. Like They're 1127 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 3: so close on a lot of chances to really get 1128 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 3: some goals. They've missed a ton of big chances, especially recently. 1129 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 3: In we go back to El Classico, we go back 1130 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:26,760 Speaker 3: to the miss penalty against Ryovacano and then against Dinamo 1131 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 3: Kiev in the Champions League. They hit the post a 1132 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 3: couple of times. They had a couple other big chances. 1133 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 3: Ansufazi is healthy and firing, looks like he's in really 1134 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 3: good form right now. Memphis to Pie is still one 1135 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 3: of the best ball progressing and creators in the world, 1136 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 3: and Aguero is probably not gonna play, which at this 1137 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 3: point in his career is probably in that positive and 1138 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 3: so I think this is a Barcelona attack that is 1139 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 3: due for some positive aggression. They're underperforming their expected goals, 1140 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 3: which Barcelona has almost never done, partly because they had 1141 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 3: Lionel Messi was the greatest finisher ever. But they still 1142 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 3: have other guys who I expect them to run marginally 1143 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 3: above you know, five percent above their expected goals numbers 1144 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 3: in attack. Defensively, there are still some concerns in transition, 1145 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 3: which is where celt of Ego has kind of been 1146 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,839 Speaker 3: able to make, you know, a bit of a living 1147 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 3: in terms of you know, applying some pressure, winning the 1148 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 3: ball I have to pitch, turning that into a quick attack. 1149 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 3: That's an area where I think Barcelona is still vulnerable. 1150 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 3: So eventually the Barsai explosion is coming. I think they're 1151 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 3: also still vulnerable defensively. So over two and a half 1152 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 3: goals is minus one thirty. That's where I'm looking here 1153 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 3: in this game. You can take it over two and 1154 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 3: a three quarters if you want to, don't want to 1155 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 3: pay the juice, but that's where I'm looking and hopefully, 1156 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 3: you know, back in this Barsa team again. Here we 1157 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 3: are doing well in the Champions League, going to eventually 1158 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 3: improve in La Liga. 1159 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 1: Barcelona is nine points a drift of Associated Dad in 1160 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 1: La Liga and they're fourteen to one, So I don't 1161 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,359 Speaker 1: know if that's worth a bet, but it's just something 1162 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 1: to keep in mind. If you are a Barsa believer 1163 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,880 Speaker 1: and BJ Cunningham I think you are a Barsa believer, 1164 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 1: a Barsa buyer. 1165 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 2: This weekend, yeah, it's time to buy low on Barcelona. 1166 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 2: Just Anthony hit the nail on pretty much. I feel 1167 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 2: like he just took all my notes right off my 1168 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 2: page for this whole thing. But yeah, the six point 1169 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 2: seven expected goals created in those last three La Liga matches, 1170 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 2: only two put in the back of the net. Celta 1171 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 2: Vigo offensively hasn't been that great this season. Like I 1172 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 2: agree with Anthony, might be able to do something in transition, 1173 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 2: but only eleven point six to nine non penalty expected 1174 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,320 Speaker 2: goals in twelve matches. They only created point six to 1175 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 2: one against a rye about a condo team that yielded 1176 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 2: two point nine to seven expect goals to Barcelona. It's 1177 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 2: also a Celta ego team that's really bad against pressure. 1178 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,479 Speaker 2: Their fifteenth in pressure success rate in Barcelona is number 1179 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 2: one in pressing this season in La Liga. So I 1180 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,719 Speaker 2: have Barcelona projected at minus one twenty six. So at 1181 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 2: plus one oh five, I think it's a good by low. 1182 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: Spot for them, all right, and we'll go right back 1183 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 1: to BJ Cunningham, iowa's foremost league oh expert. What is 1184 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: your favorite bet in France this weekend? 1185 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 2: Let's go back to LIL They catch the plus one 1186 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 2: and a half against PSG last week. They look really 1187 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,359 Speaker 2: like the better team in the first half and they 1188 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 2: kind of just fell apart at the end. But this 1189 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,840 Speaker 2: is still a really good team. They just beat a 1190 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 2: very very good Sevia team on the road in the 1191 00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 2: Champions League on Wednesday, and this is another situation where 1192 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 2: I think that they're undervalued based on their place in 1193 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 2: the table. They're averaging one point five to six expected 1194 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,440 Speaker 2: goals for match, that's fourth in league gun and more 1195 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 2: than they averaged during their entitled campaign last year their 1196 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 2: third and big scoring chances, and their defense is still 1197 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 2: playing at a extremely high level. They're fourth in non 1198 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 2: penalty expected goals allowed, so the four to four to 1199 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,360 Speaker 2: two is still working and this angers team that they're playing. 1200 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,239 Speaker 2: The reason that they started out so hot and the 1201 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,280 Speaker 2: reason they're in eighth place is because of their defense. 1202 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 2: They're top four and non penalty expected goles allowed, shots 1203 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,320 Speaker 2: for ninety and big scoring tants allowed, but their offense 1204 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 2: has really been struggling as late. They are fifteenth in 1205 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,759 Speaker 2: non penalty expected goals, eighteenth in box entries, and they're 1206 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 2: also eighteenth in pressure success rate allowed. So Lil's four 1207 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:55,919 Speaker 2: to four to two press should be able to create 1208 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 2: some havoc. I have little projected at minus one fifty five, 1209 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 2: so I think there's still a little value on them 1210 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 2: at minus one twenty five. 1211 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: And with that we'll move on to our favorite portion 1212 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 1: of the program. I like to warrant all the listeners 1213 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,399 Speaker 1: that these bets are not for the fan of heart. 1214 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 1: Of course, these are long shots underdogs for reason. My 1215 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,839 Speaker 1: favorite underdog this weekend is west Ham. I spoke at 1216 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: length about them. I think just if you covered up 1217 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: the names, put the numbers next to each other, you'd 1218 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 1: say these two teams, west Ham and Liverpool are a 1219 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,399 Speaker 1: lot closer than this plus three to eighty money line 1220 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 1: at home suggests. So I'll take the Hammers and pass 1221 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 1: it over to you, Anthony. 1222 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have not won to bet on this team 1223 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:39,439 Speaker 3: all season, so we're gonna try again. Groidtherir Firth plus 1224 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 3: two to eighty in the Bundesliga, there's not a ton 1225 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,920 Speaker 3: to like about this group. Groid the fir team. They 1226 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 3: do have some positive aggression coming. They've been really really 1227 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 3: bad at taking their chances. In terms of their chance 1228 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 3: conversion rate is the lowest in the Bundesliga, second lowest 1229 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,239 Speaker 3: Wolfsburg and let us a trend there our teams I'm 1230 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,520 Speaker 3: betting on this weekend. Groidther Firth doesn't have a lot 1231 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 3: to like, but they did show a lot of fight. 1232 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:04,360 Speaker 3: They had some serious COVID issues last week against Freiburg, 1233 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 3: conceded a couple of goals, but the match was relatively 1234 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,719 Speaker 3: even for a large stretches of the match. They did 1235 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 3: get on the scoreboard. Ultimately, I think we're dealing with 1236 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 3: a Frankfurt team that has had major issues. The reporting 1237 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 3: out of preseason training camp was that Oliver Glasner was 1238 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,399 Speaker 3: having a lot of issues with Frankfurt this year. I'm 1239 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 3: kind of kicking myself for not fading them more. Frankfort 1240 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 3: had a lot of issues coming into the year. They 1241 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,359 Speaker 3: have performed really poorly, perhaps the worst relative to expectations 1242 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,800 Speaker 3: in the entire league, since losing Addie Hooter, their manager 1243 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 3: from last season. They also lost Andre Silva, their main striker. 1244 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 3: Production upfront has been really, really bad. They just should 1245 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 3: not be this big of a favorite against any team 1246 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 3: in the league on the road. So you gotta play 1247 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 3: the number I make frankfort plus one fifty two. So 1248 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 3: I'm going to play the number here on groidther Firth 1249 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 3: on the money line at plus two sixty plus two 1250 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 3: eighty whatever you can find out there. Anything over two 1251 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 3: forty is gonna be worth a look here on groiter Firth. 1252 00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go Wolves, who is somehow north of two 1253 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 2: to one at Crystal Palace. I really don't understand why 1254 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 2: they're underdogs here. Crystal Palace has been good defensively, only 1255 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 2: allowing one point one to one non penalty expected goals 1256 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,880 Speaker 2: per matched, but there are some concerning things with their defense. 1257 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,560 Speaker 2: Eleventh in box entry is allowed, sixteenth and crosses completed 1258 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,320 Speaker 2: in their own penalty area, twelfth in progressive passes allowed, 1259 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 2: and they press a ton now under Patrick Vieira, but 1260 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 2: there are only fourteenth and passes per defensive action and 1261 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 2: seventeenth and precious success rate. So facing a team like 1262 00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,960 Speaker 2: Wolves who is just gonna pick them apart with their 1263 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 2: combination passing going forward against the press is a terrible matchup, 1264 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 2: and Crystal Palace hasn't really done much going forward. Offensively. 1265 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,760 Speaker 2: They're sixteenth in non penalty expected goals seventeenth and shots 1266 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,360 Speaker 2: per ninety, so I don't really know how they're going 1267 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 2: to create a ton of chances against a Wolves defense 1268 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,839 Speaker 2: that's second and non penalty expected goals allowed, and it's 1269 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,160 Speaker 2: only allowed six big scoring chances this season. So I 1270 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 2: have Wolves projected as a small favorite at plus one 1271 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,520 Speaker 2: sixty four, So give me them a met plus two 1272 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,720 Speaker 2: oh five. Let's hope we don't get another stoppage time penalty. 1273 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,800 Speaker 1: If you wrap all three of those underdogs together and parlayam, 1274 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: it's fifty two to one. That's just about what the 1275 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,759 Speaker 1: Dallas Stars are to win the Stanley Cup. So let's 1276 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 1: move on to the final portion of the program, our 1277 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,720 Speaker 1: favorite bets in the Premier League for this weekend. Bjay 1278 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 1: will start with you where are you looking? Yeah? 1279 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 2: Lester team total over one and a half at even money. 1280 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 2: We talked about how Lester has basically turned a corner offensively, 1281 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 2: nine point one six expected goals in their last five matches, 1282 00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 2: and I know they didn't score against Arsenal, but they 1283 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 2: still created two point one expected goals. There's going to 1284 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 2: be a ton of space going forward against mar Marcello 1285 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 2: Bielsa's side when Brendan Rodgers and Lester face leads. Last season, 1286 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 2: they scored a combined five goals and created five point 1287 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 2: one eight expected goals in the two meetings. So for 1288 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 2: one of the hottest offenses that's going up against the 1289 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 2: defense that's really regressed from last season, leads to seventeenth 1290 00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 2: to non penalty expected goals. I love Lester over one 1291 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 2: and a half goals. 1292 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 1: At even money, Anthony, what's your favorite bet in the 1293 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 1: Premier League this weekend? 1294 00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 3: So only the second time I bet on them all year. 1295 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 3: I have really look to stay away from this team 1296 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 3: because I had major concerns about them coming into the season, 1297 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,520 Speaker 3: thought they'd be worse than their North London rivals. They 1298 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 3: have been. But it is time to buy some Tottenham 1299 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 3: Hotspur money line plus one fifty against Everton I like 1300 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 3: anything plus one forty five or better. My projections actually 1301 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 3: show a little bit of value on Everton, but once 1302 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 3: I add the new manager bump in which studies disagree 1303 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 3: on how much that's really worth. But the reality is 1304 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 3: it exists. It tends to be an inspired effort, especially 1305 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 3: the first four to five matches under the new manager. 1306 00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 3: The motivation levels are high. It's a fresh new face, 1307 00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 3: it's a respected face at Tottenham. They have a more 1308 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,919 Speaker 3: established way to play one and two progress the ball 1309 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 3: through the middle of the pitch, which has been the 1310 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 3: biggest issue for Tottenham this season. Kante will give them 1311 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 3: the plan, he will give them the blueprint and they 1312 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,919 Speaker 3: get a match on Thursday, which actually I think works 1313 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 3: to their benefit with the new manager coming in to 1314 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 3: kind of get some kinks worked out and figured out 1315 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 3: how they're going to get this going. Everton is in 1316 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 3: a team that I'm looking to play against right now, 1317 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 3: going through a big rough patch with a bit of 1318 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 3: an injury crisis, whose defensive numbers are mighty concerning. Give 1319 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 3: me Tottenham on the money line plus one fifty away 1320 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 3: from home at Everton on Sunday morning and I'll wrap 1321 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:12,760 Speaker 3: it up. 1322 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: Can't stay away from this bet, can't talk about it enough. 1323 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 1: I like west Ham plus three eighty on the money 1324 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 1: line against Liverpool. That's my favorite bet this weekend. Any 1325 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 1: form of betting west Ham I think is worth it. 1326 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:25,960 Speaker 1: This team is really really good. 1327 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:26,480 Speaker 2: All right. 1328 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: That'll do it for this episode of Wonder Goal. We 1329 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 1: will take a little bit of a break while the 1330 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 1: international break takes place, so we will be back not 1331 00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:38,120 Speaker 1: next week but the following Wednesday. And just remember to 1332 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: leave us a review and if you drop your Twitter 1333 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 1: handle in that review, you will automatically be entered into 1334 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 1: a contest to win soccer jersey of your choice for 1335 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 1: this season. So for BJ Cunningham and Anthony Dbundo, I'm 1336 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 1: Michael Leebuff paying good luck this week and into the 1337 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:53,480 Speaker 1: international break we go.
