We are going to 16 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: go through the rest of the European leagues outside of 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: the Premier League. We've already done an hour and a 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: half on the Premier League.

Now it's time to take 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: a jaunt around the rest of Europe.

So, 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: like I mentioned, we've already done the Premier League, so 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: now it's time to go through the other main four 31 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: leagues in Europe, the Bundesliga, Siria, La Liga, and League, 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: and then we'll give out maybe one or two of 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: our other favorite bets outside of those four leagues around Europe. 34 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: But for us, there's only one logical place to start, 35 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: and that is to start in Germany. Coming off one 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: of the most exciting title races that we've ever seen 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: in Germany with Byron winning on the final day Dortmund, 38 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: all they need to do is beat Minz. We all 39 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: had Mines thirteen to one. I don't want to bring 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: that up again. But now reading through the title odds, 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: you know Byron has been, you know, historically has been 42 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: a massive favorite every single year, but this year they're 43 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: only minus three fifty to win the Bundesegotia. I think 44 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: it is the lowest I've ever seen them. Dortmund is 45 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: sitting at five to one, Leipzig twelve to one, Leverkusen 46 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: is fifty to one. Unjan Berlin and Frankfurt are both 47 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: one hundred to one, Freiberg and Gladbach are both one 48 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to one. Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim are both 49 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty to one. Minz, Cologne and Verdebremen 50 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: are all five hundred to one. Bochem, Augsburg and Stuttgart 51 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: are all one thousand to one, and your two newly 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: promoted teams, Heidenheim and Darmstadt are both two thousand to one. Anthony, 53 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: I just talked for a really long time there. Let's 54 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: start with a conversation with Bayern Munich because this is 55 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: the lowest I've seen them to win the league, and 56 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if they might be a good parlay piece 57 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: with something else to get this price down, because in 58 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: my opinion, I think they're clear in a way the 59 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: best team in Germany and maybe should be closer to 60 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: round minus five hundred to win this league. 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree. I think there are some real 62 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: questions about the striker situation. Other than that, I don't 63 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: really think it's that close. Byron went out in the 64 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: summer and they made a solid center back edition with 65 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: kim Minjay from Napoli as signing that I'm particularly a 66 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: fan of. I think it's a good partnership with mcconno, 67 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: and they've had some inconsistency there from mcconno at times 68 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: where we've seen him get exposed a little bit. Add 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: some depth there. They add Rafael Guerrero, who is one 70 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: of the best ball progressors in all of Europe, led 71 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: Dortmund in passing the penalty area, really was the outlet 72 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: and just is so good at getting up the winging 73 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: him and Davies. Davies was in and out of fitness 74 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: at times last year and formed, but the two of 75 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: them are so dominant, and you know, the midfield is 76 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: still as good as ever with Kimmick and Gretzka kind 77 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: of in their peak prime here. So where's the hole 78 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: in Byron And we all know what it is. I mean, 79 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 2: it's the striker. And they went from having a twenty 80 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 2: five to thirty plus goal year player in Lewandowski to 81 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: someone who you know, choop mooting was okay, but they 82 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: really had scattered gold production. I mean, it had been 83 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: so dominated by Lewandowski that his absence it didn't really 84 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: change how good Byron was in the aggregate. You know, 85 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: they finished last season plus one point one point one 86 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: XG difference per ninety the season prior, they were a 87 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: little better, but it wasn't because the attack necessarily dropped off. 88 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: It was only marginally worse. It was just a matter 89 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 2: of you know, the results coming in different ways. Like 90 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: the amount of goals scored for Byron wasn't all that 91 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: different last season compared to the year before. But again 92 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: the variance increases because their average shot distance was a 93 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: little lower or a little longer. They didn't get, you know, 94 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: that consistent finishing production from the center and Chupomo ting. 95 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: You know, what can we reasonably expect from him? Because 96 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: most of his production in Germany came in the Novelsman era. 97 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: He was injured toward the end of the season. Slash 98 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: not as good in the Tukul era. He wasn't really 99 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: fancied in most of those matches, so you know, he 100 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: did play sixty eight minutes in the first Tuckle match, 101 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 2: which they won for two but didn't score. He didn't 102 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: score in any matches under Tukle, so I think there's 103 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: a question as to like, what is his role how 104 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: do they go about replacing the Mane minutes. Mane wasn't 105 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: a huge factory down the stretch either, but he was 106 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: pretty good in the first half of the season, so 107 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 2: you can see why there's a lot of cracks in 108 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: this Byron team. But like the title race last season 109 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: wasn't actually as close as maybe the market the real 110 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: life situation. I mean, Byron ran really cold and Dortmund 111 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: ran really well to get to a point where Dortmann 112 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: had a chance to win the title on the final day. 113 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: It took a lot of variance going against Dortmann or 114 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: going against Byron to even get a title race. So 115 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: I'm kind of skeptical, especially since Dortmann now loses their 116 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: best two players in terms of all progression, their best 117 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: all around player in Jude Bellingham. The replacement situation is 118 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: a little bit shaky, like Dortmund has a similar problem 119 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: that they don't really have a set place for all 120 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: of their goals to come from unless hall Air puts 121 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 2: it all together. So I'm kind of indifferent on the market. 122 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 2: I think Byron's a little cheap, but I'm not laying 123 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: a minus three seventy five. They'll tie up my money 124 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: for eight months nine months, so I have no real 125 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: play on the title market in this situation. But I 126 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: just think Byron's just worse unless they go in and 127 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: get a top end striker. 128 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I mean that's the conversation that we've had, right, 129 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: You have the nail right on the head there that 130 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: so much had to go right for Dorm and they 131 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: had to run so hot just to even catch Byron 132 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: to basically have a chance to win it on the 133 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: final day. I mean, Byron was ten goals better by 134 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: x she differential like, that's a pretty significant gap between 135 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: first and second place. And this kind of leads me 136 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: into and I know a bet that we both like 137 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: is another market, which is winner without Bayern Munich, and 138 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: we both like RBI Leipzig at plus three fifty to 139 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: be the essentially finish in second place or you know, 140 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: obviously without Bayern Munich. It kind of leads to the 141 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: conversation you were talking about with Dortmund, is that they 142 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: are losing their two best players. They're losing their best 143 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: ball progressor up the left wing. They're losing Jude Bellingham, 144 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: who was everything in terms of transition to defending ball 145 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: progression even scored eight goals for them, like they had 146 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: three other guys who were tied with nine goals. So 147 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: the goal scoring is pretty dispersed throughout. Dortmund and Leipzig 148 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: had pretty much the exact same expected goal differential as 149 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: Dortmund last season. And if you look at Leipzig, yes, 150 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: I know, they lose soba'sly and they also lost Goarvidal. 151 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: Excuse me, Vardiol, I'm gonna get that name pronounced right 152 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: correctly once we start talking about Manchester City one of 153 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: these days. But you look at what obviously Christopher and 154 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: Cuckoo has gone as well, but you look at what 155 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: they did to replace that, you could make the argument 156 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: they maybe even got a little bit better offensively throughout 157 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: all these transitions. They bring over Benjamin Seshko from Salzburg 158 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: who's a very very promising talent scored a ton of 159 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: goals for Arbie Salbsk in the Austrian League. They bring 160 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: over to Luis Openda from Lenz who backed twenty one 161 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: goals point six to six x gp per ninety minute striker, 162 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: very very good and Shabi Simones, who you can make 163 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: the argument was the best player in the nether Ones 164 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: last season. And they still have Timo Werner. Like the 165 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: depth now that they have an attack is crazy, so 166 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: the limitation on them is not as high as maybe 167 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: it was when they lost two of their best attacking players. 168 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: Like the ceiling is right where it was it was 169 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: last sear And then you go to the defensive side 170 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: of the ball. Obviously, losing Gavardiol is a huge loss 171 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: for them, it's massive, but since Marco Rosa took over, 172 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: this has been one of the best defensive teams in 173 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: all of Europe. They were a point eighty six non 174 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: penalty expectacles allowed in his twenty nine matches in charge 175 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: in the Bundesliga. That was better than Bayern and better 176 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: than pretty much everybody else throughout Europe. So obviously losing 177 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: a big piece like Gavardiol is massive, but they still 178 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: have Simcon, they still have or been, They're still solid 179 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: defensively at the back, so I don't think you're gonna 180 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: see this catastrophic, catastrophic drop off like we might be 181 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: seeing with Dortmund here. So honestly, I think Leipzig should 182 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: be way closer to a pick them if you were 183 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: doing you know, because this is essentially a matchup bet, 184 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: Like nobody was even close to these two teams in 185 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: terms of underlying metrics, and that's really what we're What 186 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: it comes down to is that Leipzig probably should be 187 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: a pick em against Dortmund in this type of market. 188 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: But they're sitting at plus three fifty, so I know 189 00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: it's a bet that we both. 190 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I like this down there, like damn near 191 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: plus one fifty. Now, I would bet this because I 192 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: think this is a pretty even market. I mean, Lavakuzin 193 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: has had an interesting summer, but they weren't really that 194 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: close to either team last year in any way, and 195 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 2: they do lose Musa Diab so that's like a pretty 196 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: big piece of what they like to do. I think 197 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: that we need to talk about Openda and Cesco though, 198 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: because this is this is a credit to the Leipzig 199 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: talent scouting department in the Leipzig system that it's not 200 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: about one or two players, because we've seen Leipzig sell 201 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: guys and not really miss them and get better and 202 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: I think that's really the biggest statement you can make, 203 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: because they do go Sell and Kunku, who won the 204 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: Golden Boot in the Bundesliga last year, and it added 205 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: a ton of production and assists. So a bush lies 206 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 2: same thing, like really good young prospect, a ton of 207 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 2: passing value from him, and they replace those players you 208 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 2: mentioned Simon's like really good numbers in the Dutch league 209 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: in the airdivisy, somebody who is expected to break into 210 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 2: the Dutch national team, somebody who can kind of replace 211 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: the solo Bushlye role in my view, and they get 212 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: open to replace in Kunku and sesco O Penda. Last 213 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 2: year shots per ninety in France, Killian Mbappe four point six, 214 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 2: you know Messi four point one, Louiso Pendet three point seven, 215 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: So he was third best, ahead of Floren Baligan, Alexander Lachazette, 216 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: Jonathan David. So he was putting up really toko wa Kambi. 217 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: He was putting up ridiculously good numbers over the course 218 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: of the season to the point where in twenty and 219 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: this was in twenty eight nineties in his age twenty 220 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 2: two year at Lenz. So I'm really you know, a 221 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: believer in him, and I'm I'm surprised that a bigger 222 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: club than Leipsig didn't go for him, But I think 223 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: it's a great signing and I think, you know, in 224 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 2: the summer where all the strikers haven't really been making 225 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: their final moves yet, you know, then they got him 226 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: in early and they got it done and Cesco put 227 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: up really good numbers in the bundesligather there are in 228 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 2: the Austrian Bundessliga. There are Holland comps going around. I'm 229 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: not gonna do that, but people do like the full 230 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: profile that he has, so I'm a believer in what 231 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: they've done to replace him. You mentioned, you know how 232 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: good they were the second half. They were putting up 233 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: like top five team in Europe numbers in the second half. 234 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,599 Speaker 2: I think they're more likely than Dorman to challenge for 235 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: the title. Dorman losing Guerrero and Bellingham is just so critical, 236 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: not just because Bellingham was so good at ball progression, 237 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: but they didn't have any ball winners. The whole team 238 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: was kind of just assume, you know, we're gonna have possession, 239 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: and then all of our players forward. It was incredibly 240 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: aggressive from Terzak and they were kind of a sieve 241 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: by the end of the season. Defensively, it cost him 242 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: the title and Leipzig beat the shit out of them 243 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: twice in the second half of the season. In the 244 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 2: league match, Dormand won, but it wasn't very competitive on 245 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: the box score because they had two flup goals. And 246 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: then in the cup match, I think the first fifteen 247 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: shots of the game all went to Leipsig, So these 248 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: teams weren't that even in the second half. I had 249 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: Lipsig clearly rated better. I still do like the summer moves, 250 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: so yeah, let's make it two to two. Love LEPs 251 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 2: They probably one of my bigger bets of the off season. 252 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 2: I haven't finalized the card yet, but I imagine that 253 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: wind up being one of my biggest bets. 254 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. And one of the things Dortmund did to replace 255 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: Spelling him they brought over Felix Metcha from Wolfsburg. But 256 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: if you look at his profile, I mean, yes, he's 257 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: somewhat of a good ball winner in the middle of 258 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: the pitch, but he can't pass like if you look 259 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: at it, think he's only a seventy five percent patch 260 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: completion rate for a midfielder like and he doesn't really 261 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: progress the ball going forward, so you obviously lose that. 262 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: So now who's gonna be progressing the ball? They brought 263 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: us Spitzer, who had obviously a terrible season last year. 264 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: I had to go on loan to Manchester United and 265 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: didn't really feature there, So how good is he going 266 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: to be? So they basically just took half of the 267 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: belling him money and spent it on those two players, 268 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: and they can't even make up for, you know, half 269 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: of what he has done for them. So yes, I 270 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: agree with you. He's probably one of my bigger bets 271 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: as well. It's going to be live stiging essentially over 272 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: winner without Byron at plus three five, yeah, you know. 273 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 2: And Dormant will score goals, yeah, Bront of course. And 274 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: Royce if they can never keep Royce healthy for you know, 275 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: more than a few minutes a year, they're going into score. 276 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: But I think this defense is really scary right now 277 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: in the midfield, especially like there are no ball winners 278 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 2: in this team. Emory Choan going into his age twenty 279 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: nine season, is the best ball winner and they only 280 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: got twenty one nineties out of him, so you know, 281 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: he missed forty five percent of the season. I think that, 282 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: you know, there's they lose Modahu, who wasn't really a 283 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: factor last year but could have been. You know, he leaves, 284 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: so there's not a lot of midfield ball winning here 285 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: and the defense. You know, we've we've had this conversation 286 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: about Dortmund so many times. There was a brief period 287 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: where they were more conservative, but they have turned up 288 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: the dial again and are now kind of back to 289 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: old dormant. 290 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. And then you obviously look at their attack Hall 291 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: Air and Doniel Malan up top. You can make the 292 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: argument that Arviy Leipsig is way better than them at 293 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: the striker positions. So we've basically just broke it down 294 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: that that Leipzig is better an attack in a midfield 295 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: and defense than Dortmount and yet they're still sitting at 296 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: this price. So this is one of our favorite bets. 297 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: But let's move on because love to talk relegation here 298 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: in the Bundesliga. And you, Anthony, I don't know why 299 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: you're doing this. You're betting your back to be relegated. 300 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 2: I hinted at this in the spring. I don't know 301 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 2: if you guys remember I kind of dropped it as 302 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: like this team could be in real serious trouble. I 303 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: think it was after they got housed by Dortmund five 304 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: to two. But this team has really lost a lot 305 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: of talent and they have not done much to replace it. 306 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: Marcus Taram leaves he's at Intern now, Lars Stendal leaves 307 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: you on his Hoffmann leaves, Remy Benza Baiini leaves, and 308 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: for my money, that's three of the four best players 309 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: on the team, maybe five with Taram, Hoffman and Benza Baiini. 310 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 2: Manucone is still there. He's their best player. He's the midfielder, 311 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: young guy twenty one years old, had an impressive season 312 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: last year, but again like he's not offering a ton 313 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: in terms of possession. It's a lot of ball winning, 314 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: not a lot of forward attack, and they have not 315 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: really replaced anyone to the level that I feel confident. 316 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: You know, Thomas Caansera is the name that they brought 317 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: into score goals. He was in the Czech League. He 318 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: had a decent season there, but it's the Czech league 319 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: and he's going up to the Bundesliga now at age 320 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: twenty two, and I just don't really know what they're 321 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: going to expect from him like transfer market Value doesn't 322 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: think it was like a huge move. They went out 323 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: and found this gem that nobody had heard of, so 324 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: that was a lot of lost attacking production. We know 325 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: that defensive issues. Farca is gone. They bring in Gerard Soani, 326 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 2: who had been at Young Boys and was okay there, 327 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: went to le Rakuzen, wasn't very good there, got sacked 328 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: pretty quickly. They lost sixty two of their ninety one 329 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: goal involvements from last season and they've replaced him with 330 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: like one guy. So I think that thirty three to one. 331 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: If you look at the board, there's four teams that 332 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 2: I think are clearly worse than everybody else, and it's 333 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: the two newly promoted side Darnstat Heidenheim, and then the 334 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: two teams that probably should have gone down last year 335 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 2: but didn't in Bokum and Ausburg. After that, it's a 336 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 2: pretty small gap. Like Verde, Bremen has made some real 337 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: improvements this year in the midfield, I think they're gonna 338 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: be okay. Like we talk about the next couple of 339 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 2: teams like Stuttgart had a better XG difference than Gladenbach, 340 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: Freiburg Wolfsburg unon mines like I think they're all on 341 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 2: paper right now better than god Boch. So then like 342 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 2: there's only Hoffenheim, who I know you're down on in Cologne, 343 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: who did quietly lose a ton this summer. Like that, 344 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: that's pretty much it. So like they're probably not getting relegated. 345 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: They're thirty three to one for a reason. But there's 346 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 2: a world where if this attack really struggles early, they 347 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: get pulled into that bottom five and they're in a 348 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 2: scrap by the end of the season for relegation and 349 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: they don't have money. They are broke, so it's a 350 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 2: tough situation. They let a lot of guys leave for free. Also, 351 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: Yon Sommer was an excellent shot stopper in the first half. 352 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: He left, and the shot stopping was negative in the 353 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: second and they had a minus point two to six 354 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 2: actually difference per ninety in the second half of the season. 355 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 2: So look, I love the Foals, and I you know, 356 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 2: I miss Marco and I miss us being a top 357 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: four contender, but we are closer to relegation than top 358 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 2: half right now. So I'm betting the fullest to fold 359 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 2: thirty three one. 360 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: It's sad it is. 361 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 2: We're still gonna bet them by the way against Bayron, Oh, of. 362 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: Course, yeah, we know. That's yeah, that's kind. 363 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: I'll be a win. That might be the six points 364 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 2: that keeps us up. 365 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: Well, Anthony, I'm gonna need them. So he had all 366 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: three points in match week one against the team that 367 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: I'm betting for relegation. It's a team that's been in 368 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: a thorn in my side going on three years now. 369 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: It's Augsburg. This club. So last season, if you go 370 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: back to last season, the year before that, they had 371 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: just a crazy horrible expected goal diffrenchial maybe one of 372 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: the worst in the league, but they somehow survived. They 373 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: go into last season and they were even money favorites 374 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: to be relegated because Shaalka and Vertebremen were coming up 375 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: from the Second Division. Those are big clubs. The market 376 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: clearly knew that they were going to be better than 377 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: what Augsburg had. Now they're sitting at plus two twenty 378 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: five to be relegated. And the reason for that is 379 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: is the two teams coming up in Darmstadt and Heidenheim 380 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: were not the best teams in the Second Division. They 381 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: were more around like point three five point three actually 382 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: differential per ninety there was about two or three teams 383 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: that were better than them in the second division, so 384 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: that I think is going to create a little bit 385 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: of value here. On Augsburg. We relegated last season minus 386 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: twenty four expected goal differential, second worst in the Bundesliga 387 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: to only Bochum, who is short at a shorter price 388 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: in this market. So that's why I'm not betting them. 389 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: But Augsburg is just a completely inept offensive team. In 390 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: the highest scoring league in Europe, where teams are putting 391 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: up three four goals sometimes per match, teams like Byron 392 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: and Dormound, Augsburg averaged just one point zero two goals 393 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: per ninety minutes. They were way too reliant on scoring 394 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: off set pieces. They averaged the fewest shots per ninety 395 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: they had the second longest average shot and they had 396 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: the second longest average shot distance. They did nothing in 397 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: the transfer market to improve their attack whatsoever, and obviously 398 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: they sold Ricardo Peppy, who was on loan last season 399 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: the Air Debisi, so that obviously doesn't matter. But then 400 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: defensively they conceded the third most expected goals they conceded. 401 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: They were conceding close to two big scoring chances per 402 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: ninety which was the most in the Bundesliga and they 403 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: conceded the most shots per ninety I do not know 404 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: how this team stayed up. It was just some type 405 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: of Houdini magic. Here and there. They get a couple 406 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 1: of results and it just keeps them up. But they 407 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: have the hardest schedule to open the season of any 408 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: team in the Bundesliga. Per opta. They start off at 409 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: home against Kladbach, who you just mentioned. Then they got 410 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: to go to Buyer and they played Bocum. They they 411 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: got two Leipzig, Minz and Freiburg. Like that is a 412 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: really really tough schedule outside of maybe Bochum to open 413 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: the season for this team. They really could get off 414 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: to a really bad start and start bottoming out pretty bad. 415 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 1: And like already mentioned the other two newly commoted teams 416 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: along with Bochum and Augsburg, that's clear four worst teams. 417 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: And then we you know the Bundesliga works if you're 418 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: obviously new to this, is that the bottom two teams 419 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: get relegated and then the seventeenth place team plays a 420 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: night relegation playoff against the third place team in the 421 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: second division in Germany, So it's. 422 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: Gonna be Hamburger again, and they're gonna lose again Hamburger. 423 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: Again, I know, and they're gonna get routed like seven 424 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: to nothing. I'm gonna keep betting this team to be 425 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: relegated like they if they they continually are just putting 426 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: up these horrible, horrible underlying numbers, and eventually it's gonna 427 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: catch up with them, Anthony, eventually, and I hope it's 428 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: this season at plus two twenty five. 429 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 2: I don't disagree a huge luck box rely a ton 430 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 2: on just like pulling off these remarkably good counters. That 431 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: they are the worst possession team. They have the lowest 432 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: pass completion rate by multiple percentage points. Like they are horrible, 433 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 2: but you know, they get these home dog spots and 434 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: they always find a couple of wins and they know 435 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 2: it is enough. And I are they home against Gludback? 436 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 2: Are they at gloud Black? 437 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: They're at home against clad Back. 438 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're going to be a big dog and 439 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: they're going to win that match. 440 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: We'll see one other thing. I also, uh, just before 441 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: we get out of here, bet through sixty five has 442 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: some other markets in terms of like player total goals 443 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: or player assists that you know, you guys can check out. 444 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: One thing I liked from those was Kimmich to have 445 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: ten or more assists at plus one sixty three, I 446 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: mean last season he was close to about about seven 447 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: or eight expected assists. He had most passes into the 448 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: penalty area and the most progressive passes of anybody in 449 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: the boat. It's like good by a pretty wide margin. 450 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: And obviously Byron is going to get a ton of goals. 451 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: So if he continues to put up those type of 452 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: passing numbers, he's still going to be starting every single 453 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: match in the middle of the pitch. And Byron obviously 454 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: has so much attacking talent around him. So getting that 455 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: at a plus money I think is a decent price. 456 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Osburg is barely a dog. I thought i'd get 457 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 2: a half a goal. You're not even gonna get that, 458 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 2: so I have to run my numbers still. We have 459 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 2: a week until we're in the Bundesliga season. But that 460 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 2: total is at three. I think it's a little high. 461 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 2: I have to look at it. But we'll stay tuned 462 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 2: for next week's episode. We'll talk about Ausburg next weekend. 463 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: But that is interesting. 464 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: That is a good reminder is that our our match 465 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: week one pod for the Premier League, La Liga and 466 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: League gun will be out Thursday. Exciting times. All right, 467 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: let's move on. That was Germany. Let's move on to 468 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: Italy and Syria. A one of the you know, looking 469 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: at the futures market, this is honestly one of the 470 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: tighter races that we have in terms of who's going 471 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: to win the league, because obviously Napoli is coming off 472 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: their first title in over thirty years. But we start 473 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: off with Inter. Who is your favorite? They are sitting 474 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: at plus one seventy five. NAPLE League is three to one, 475 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: Juventus is a little over three to one, ac Milan 476 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: five to one, Roma eleven to one, Lazio fourteen to one, 477 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: Adolanta twenty eight to one, Fiorentina eighty to one, Manza's 478 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty to one, to Reno two hundred 479 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: and fifty to one, Udinesse, Cesuolo, Bologna, they're all five 480 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: hundred to one. Salernitana, Cagliari, welcome back, Frosty, don Leche 481 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: and Pole, Verona and Genoa are all a thousand to one. 482 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: I you know, Anthony, I don't really think there's this 483 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: is really hard because we were talking before that the 484 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: price on Napoli isn't good enough for me. I really 485 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: think they probably should be the favorite here to win 486 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: it again. They put up the best on the metrics 487 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: of anybody. Yes, they lose kim Minjay, but they kept Oshman, 488 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: they kept Kavar Scalia. They are still in my mind 489 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: the best team in this league. But I don't know 490 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: if we can lay out a price of three to 491 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: one to win the league. 492 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: Well, I think it depends on what you think of 493 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: Juventus and Milan and like how reasonably in the race 494 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 2: are they. I personally have seen nothing from Alega Juventus 495 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: that makes me think that they're about to mount a 496 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 2: big title charge. Obviously they had last year. They had 497 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: the the issues regarding the transfer stuff and then they 498 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: lost points, they got docked and they were not in 499 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 2: Europe as a result. But even their underlying metrics, I mean, 500 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 2: they were plus point three six x g per ninety 501 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 2: with Valovich. They may lose Valovich between now and the 502 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 2: end of the transfer window. He's rumored to be linked 503 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 2: a couple places as potential move away. And then you 504 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: just like look around and this team, there's nothing in 505 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: their profile that makes me think that they're about to 506 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: figure some things out. They were extremely passive off the ball. 507 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 2: They dropped very deep and allowed a ton of bad 508 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 2: will quality shots and it worked because Cheesney had a really, 509 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: really good shot stopping season, and they benefited from him, 510 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: you know, saving the defense from what was a pretty 511 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: mediocre defensive unit. I just don't really think they can 512 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: rely on that again. And the result speak for themselves. 513 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: I mean when they played inter A Napoli, they were 514 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: largely outclassed. I think the interesting thing is the market 515 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: thinks Enters better than Napoli. I don't really show a 516 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: huge difference between the two teams. I have Napoli better. 517 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 2: I think it depends on how you kind of grade 518 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: Napoli because Napolis season was weird. They had this incredible 519 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 2: dominant run. They won the league going away because they 520 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 2: had two breakouts at the exact same time from two 521 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 2: superstar players who for my money are top fifteen players 522 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 2: in Europe, and then they kind of just coasted. I mean, 523 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 2: once they won the league, they kind of just took 524 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: the rest of the season off and they had that 525 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 2: poor Champions League run. But remember it beat Uventus one 526 00:26:53,840 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: nil a match Week thirty one, and then the lastlast 527 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: month of the season, they drew Sowernitana, drew UDNESSI lost 528 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 2: to Manza, drew Bologna, drew Sapdoria, beat Fiorentino one nil, 529 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 2: still beat Into three one, and then that was after 530 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: they went out of the Champions League. Once they went 531 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: out of the Champions League, the season was kind of over. 532 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 2: And it's not like they were that much worse than 533 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: then Milan in that Champions League time. They couldn't stop 534 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: Leao in the first leg and then the second leg. 535 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 2: It was some bad finishing variants. So do we think 536 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: they got figured out or do we think they just 537 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: stopped caring. I think it's a whole lot more of 538 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: we kind of just gave up a little bit, and 539 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 2: you can see it in the possession numbers, the ball 540 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: winning numbers, like they just kind of coasted. And if 541 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: they go again, I think there's still a lot better 542 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: than most of this league. And so inter you know 543 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: what they do this summer. They get Yon summer in, 544 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 2: they lose Onana. It's probably a net negative. I love Yan, 545 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 2: but he's not as good with his feet as Onana. 546 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 2: They get tam In and they lose h Echo Lukaku's 547 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: status remains very up in the air, Like there's there's 548 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 2: a shortage of goals in this inter team right now, 549 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 2: and I think that's going to cost them. Broseovich leaves, 550 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: they bring in a new defensive midfield or twenty one 551 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: year old kid, but I think there's a lot more 552 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 2: uncertainty with them than there is with this Napoli team. 553 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 2: So I think I would make Napoli a favorite if 554 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: you can find like a head to head market, I 555 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: would do that. If I have to make a bet here, though, 556 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: it's going to be Napoly three to one for me, 557 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: because I really don't think that there's a huge difference 558 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: or a huge threat from below the table, like I 559 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: don't really see you or Milan pushing up into the 560 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: top range. I think Milan still doesn't really have a striker, 561 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 2: and their midfield's kind of taking a step back. They 562 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: lose Tonali, you know, they don't really get a ton 563 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: from Diquittalare, so there are some question marks there. Roma 564 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 2: is still Roma, like they're not really a league threat 565 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: for me. They're more of a fortunately Europa League again, 566 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 2: you go again type team. Although they're top four odds 567 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 2: are intriguing me once again. Yeah, Lozzio loses surgame and 568 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 2: link if at Savage, who is like the best player 569 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 2: in the world relative to their team. Yep, and they 570 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 2: were old as hell last year, one of the oldest 571 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: teams in Europe. I'm expecting a lot of regression for them. 572 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 2: Two straight years of sorry ball where they just run 573 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: like gods cost us a shit ton of money. I 574 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: don't think they pull that off again. Fiorentina is really interesting. Yeah, 575 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: Atalanta loses holand don't really have a ton of interest 576 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 2: in them. It feels like they're just kind of parenthically 577 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: stuck on the periphery of the top four. But you 578 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: have interest in Florentina, who may or may not keep 579 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: Sophia on amerbat We still don't know the status of 580 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: his potential move to met United. We love them in 581 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: the Conference League, we bet them. I feel like week 582 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: to week a lot in Italy last year, But why 583 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 2: are you betting Fiorentina this year? 584 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: And really it comes down to the Cisco profile underlying metrics. 585 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: You know, they were one of the press pressing teams 586 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: in all of Italy. They did do some interesting transfer activity. 587 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: They brought an archer from you Ventus, who obviously hasn't 588 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: featured quite a bit lately. You know, he's been in 589 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: and out of form, went to Liverpool, got injured. But 590 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: if he can hit and he can find his old form, 591 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: then him along with Amrabat in the middle of the 592 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: pitch and then really this this bet is dependent on 593 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: Amberbat whether he stays or not. You know what's been 594 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: recently reported is United's trying to get the deal done, 595 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: but Amraerbet has also come out and said if he 596 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: stays at Fiorentina, he's fine with that, So he's not 597 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: necessarily demanding a move to Manchester United. If he stays, 598 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: he'll be one of the best central midfielders in Syria. 599 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: Fiorentina last season, you know plus eleven point seven expected 600 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: old difriendly that was only two worse than Juventus, was 601 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: better than Lazio. So when you're looking at this race 602 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: going for the top four, if you don't believe that 603 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: Lazio and Juventus are contenders, like we've already just mentioned, 604 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: are they significantly worse than a team like AC Milan 605 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: Roma or Atlanta, I'm not so sure. They're not gonna 606 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: be playing in Europe, so they won't have that added 607 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: pressure or those added matches, while all these other teams 608 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: are gonna have midweek matches that are gonna be really congested. 609 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: So if you're looking for that team from the outside 610 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: looking in that could maybe threaten that top four, I 611 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: Juarentina might be worth a look. I mean, there might 612 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: not be enough goals in this team. You know, they 613 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: have some decent attackers, you know, Jovich, Arthur Cabal and 614 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: Nico Gonzalez are all fun attackers. But really what it's 615 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: gonna come down to is if Orantina can continue to 616 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: put up some of these underlying metrics and some of 617 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: these pressing numbers that we've already seen and continued to 618 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: be a solid defensive team that barely allowed over one 619 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: expected goal in Syria last season, they could potentially threaten 620 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: Top four. So at a price of six to one 621 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: is interesting. I would like a bigger price, honestly, I 622 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: really would. I would like a you know, maybe a 623 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: seven or an eight to one. And you also mentioned Roma. 624 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: You know they're gonna be without Tammy Abraham for a 625 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: decent portion of the season after he got injured at 626 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: the end of last season and got I believe it 627 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: was a torneous Y else so, and they just lost 628 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: Roger Rabanyez to the Saudi League, so who knows that 629 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: the Jose at this point, And you know if outside 630 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: of Abraham, I mean, I don't think they're just going 631 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: to continue to rely on Diaballa to be, you know, 632 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: score that many goals. I'm not so sure with Rama. 633 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: So it's a very interesting top four race here. You know, 634 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: I really wish, Anthony, I really wish. I really wish 635 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: they gave us odds not to finish in the top 636 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: four because I would be running to the windows so 637 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: fast to BET Lazio and Juventus in this market. But 638 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: obviously in Syria, along with these other markets that we'll 639 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: talk about, they're just they're not as diverse as the 640 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: Premier League is, so we're kind of just stuck with 641 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: what we have. And honestly, Fiorantine is the only thing 642 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: that caught my eye on top four. 643 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we might we do another week until 644 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: we get to Syria. So maybe we get those markets 645 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 2: from BET three, six five in the next week or so, 646 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 2: because they do have them up for Bundesliga and and 647 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 2: a little bit more for Legan as well with those 648 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 2: two for La Liga and legan with those two starting 649 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 2: up this week, so maybe as we get a little 650 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: closer we get those markets. I generally agree like Fiorentina 651 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 2: had the field tilt numbers of a top four team 652 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 2: in Italy, they just didn't quite have the attacking output, 653 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 2: not quite good enough in the penalty area. Taliano's done 654 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 2: a hell of a job there, so you know they're 655 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 2: intriguing for sure. No Europe. I just think there's just 656 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 2: a huge kind of kaboodle of teams in the middle, 657 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: like a group of teams that I don't really know 658 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: what to make of. Between three and seven, I would 659 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 2: probably have Fiorentina right there with Lazzio. Lozzio falls down, 660 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 2: Fiorentina takes that spot, whereas ad a lot to fit in, 661 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 2: Like there's a lot to kind of parse through, and 662 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 2: this is a league that's not going to be decided early, 663 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 2: so I think we're going to get more time. I 664 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: don't you know, you don't have to rush to bet 665 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 2: futures before the season just because the season is starting. 666 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: Let's get a little bit of data on some of 667 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 2: these teams, see how things are progressing. Maybe wait for 668 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 2: the transfer window to close, so I have actually not 669 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: made a single bet in a Siria. The only ones 670 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 2: interested in Annapoli and Fiorentina again, you know, like you said, 671 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: we could fade lots, you know, more on a game 672 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 2: to game basis. I think losing SMS just so important 673 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: for them, and I think there's a lot of aggression looming. 674 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 2: But I am not that excited about kind of betting 675 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 2: Italy preseason. I'm gonna wait and see what the market 676 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 2: and how the games start, and maybe if we can 677 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 2: get an early read on a team and figure it out, 678 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 2: because the relegation market's really tricky too. Emply was the 679 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: first team that jumped off the board. They lose their 680 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 2: goalie to Spurs. He had been a great shot stopper 681 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,479 Speaker 2: and really a major reason why they were so able 682 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 2: to stay up despite pretty middling numbers. They could be 683 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 2: in real danger, but the market's kind of onto them too. 684 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a really interesting league. I love watching 685 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 2: Italy every Sunday, but in terms of betting, it no 686 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 2: real like huge you must run to the window and 687 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 2: bet this for me, and it's like. 688 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: I have one. You spoke about relegation and if you've 689 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: been listening to this podcast long enough, I think you 690 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: know where this conversation is going. Salarnyitanas plus two fifty 691 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: to be relegated. They are like the cutoff between the 692 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: bad teams and then the middle of the table where 693 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,399 Speaker 1: you have the Bologna's, you know, those type of teams 694 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 1: that are all ten eleven to one. Really no interest 695 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 1: in them being relegated. Salernitana two years ago pulled off 696 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: in a great escape. You know, coming into that season 697 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: they had a negative negative expected gold differential in the 698 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: second Division Italy. They got off to the worst star possible. 699 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: They were sitting near the bottom of the table, wasn't 700 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: for Venezia, and they pulled off just an insane escape 701 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: just to barely eke out on the final day. Well, 702 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: now we get into last season, they survive pretty comfortably. 703 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: There were some really really bad teams last week, you know, 704 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: Kremenessa and Sampdoria where two of the two of the 705 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: worst Syria teams that we've seen in quite a long time. 706 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: You know, they had forty two points minus fourteen minus 707 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: fourteen goldiffrenchial. You know, on the surface, it looks like 708 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: oh okay, you know, fourteenth or fifteenth best team and 709 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: Syria whatever, who cares they survive? They had a minus 710 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: thirty point five expected goal differential. That's insane. They conceded 711 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: sixty seven point five expected goals in thirty eight matches. 712 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: What happened was is that they have a decent striker 713 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: in Bulaedea who overperformed his x G by what six 714 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 1: seven goals himself, along with a lot of other attackers 715 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 1: who drastically overperformed offensively, and for whatever reason, Memo Choa 716 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: just continues to be the greatest goalkeeper in the world 717 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: and just went too in the middle of the season. 718 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: You know, I ended up with it. He only ended 719 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 1: up with like a plus two post shat XG plus minus, 720 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: but a lot of that was because he gave up, 721 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, eight goals to Adelanta, and like, you know, 722 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: what happens with Salernitana is they'll get these luckbox draws 723 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: against better teams and then you'll just see, like you know, 724 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: Adelanta or inter whoever, just pour like five six goals 725 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,280 Speaker 1: past them and they continue to get these luck box draws, 726 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: luckbox wins, and that's that's what happens throughout the entire season. 727 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,919 Speaker 1: But similar to the conversation with Augsburg in the Bundesliga. 728 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: Eventually you're going to regress to what your expected numbers 729 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: are and you're smiling at me. Eventually they're going to 730 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: get relegated, Anthony. And if you look at the teams 731 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: coming up, I mean we have a couple of big 732 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: clubs coming up. Kagaliaris coming back there, a big club 733 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: Shenowa who was obviously going to mainstay in Syria a 734 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 1: for a long time. Frosty Nunn has been up here 735 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: a couple of times. You look at some of the 736 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 1: expected metrics from those teams, you know, Kagiliaria wasn't that great. 737 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: They had a by the way, they're they're a very 738 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: fun story because Claudio Ranieri basically pulled them from the 739 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: grave up into a playoff spot and got them into Syria. 740 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: But they didn't have great underlying metrics. But again, they're 741 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: a big club, They're able to spend a little bit 742 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: of money. 743 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: To get better and they're gonna stay up. 744 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 1: They're going to stay up exactly. Genowa and frost Nun 745 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: both head around a plus point seven actually differential for 746 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: ninety in the second division. Those are decent numbers, so 747 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: you compare that to what Sellerny did. These are not 748 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: teams like samp Door like Sampdoria was last season, who 749 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: just are gonna come up and quit like you know, 750 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: or even a Crimin Essay, who was god awful as well. 751 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: So eventually salary Ton is going to get relegated. And 752 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: now we're getting better and better prices. You know, they 753 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 1: were about minus one twenty de relegated in their first season. 754 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: They were about plus one fifty in the next season. 755 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: Now they're sitting at plus two fifty. That price is 756 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: crazy considering where their underlying numbers have been and how 757 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: bad they've been defensively. Memocho is gonna be thirty nine 758 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: years old. Maybe he'll just continue to be the best 759 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: goalkeeper in the world. I don't know. I don't think 760 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: Bulada can continue to overporm his expected metrics. But he 761 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: did it at ret he did at Reems, now. 762 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,240 Speaker 2: He's gonna he did it against Is there a player 763 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 2: in the world that's cost you more money than the 764 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 2: bull idea? 765 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: Uh I Moobila is the easy answer to that question. Okay, yeah, 766 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: but besides Sam, yeah, no Bullada, because I remember he 767 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: missed a bunch of chances for via Real in the 768 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: Champions League too to send them home, and we had 769 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: that against Liverpool. But anyway, that's my only bet for 770 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: relegation again. You know, hopefully, you know, Anthony will have 771 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: the Syriap review up on the Action network dot com 772 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 1: you know before that season starts next week, so if 773 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,359 Speaker 1: we get some more diverse markets, you know, we might 774 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: get some more odds there. But yeah, if we can 775 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: find a not to finish in the top four, I'll 776 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: be running so fast. 777 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 2: Bet Lotsio, I'll lay there's your Bayern Parley piece. 778 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: Oh, there we go. 779 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 2: That's Byron money Byron to win the Bundesliga, part with 780 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 2: partly with Latsio to finish top four. No, because you're 781 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 2: definitely laying a solid number against Lotsio. 782 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean what I mean, they're you know, I 783 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: think they're about two pull two to one plus two 784 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: fifty to finish in the top four right now, So 785 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna be laying around a minus you know, 786 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: three hundred or somewhere around there, so you can probably 787 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: hopefully get that down to elite to deeden price. But yeah, 788 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: how does that lose Anthony who knows. We'll find out 789 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: throughout the season. When I was last year, they lost 790 00:39:55,239 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: last year. That's true. All right, let's move on to Spain. 791 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 2: I'm excited for this one. This is an interesting I 792 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 2: don't very often about Spain. 793 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: I e. 794 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, because this league. 795 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: For me, Yeah, for me obviously. You know, if you're 796 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: if you're somebody who's new to wonder goal, you're somebody's 797 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,240 Speaker 1: new t betting on soccer, new TI betting futures in soccer. 798 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: The the futures market in Spain is usually just a 799 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: two horse race. Right now, Real Madrid is your favorite 800 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: at even money, Barcelona is sitting at plus one thirty 801 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: eight at letty Co Madrid is nine to one. Then 802 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: there's a big drop off, soa Via thirty three to one, 803 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,240 Speaker 1: Sociodad forty to one, via Real fifty to one, Athletic 804 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: Bilbao eighty to one, Real Betts one hundred to one. 805 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 1: Osasuna and Celta Vigo are both five hundred to one. Majorca, Valencia, Ryo, Vacano, Gitafe, Girona, 806 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: they're all one thousand to one. Almiria, Alavese, Grenada are 807 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: all fifteen hundred to one. Cadiz two thousand to one 808 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: and Las Palmas, a newly promoted team, two thousand, five 809 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: hundred to one. I have no interest in either Real 810 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: Madrid or Barcelona, but you actually do have some interest 811 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: in betting Barcelona at a decent plus number here against 812 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: Real Madrid. 813 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, why is this the number? 814 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: Do they think that they're getting in Bape? 815 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 2: I mean, look, if they get killing them Bapa the yea, 816 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 2: they should be the favorite. But like it doesn't seem 817 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 2: to be happening until next summer. To me, who is 818 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,479 Speaker 2: the striker for Real Madrid at the moment, Joe slu Yeah, 819 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna say that that's not great. Like 820 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 2: they lose him Benzema. Benzima is on the top five 821 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 2: by the way for players who have cost me money 822 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 2: over the years. Yeah, but like this is a Real 823 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 2: Madrid team that like hasn't been very good in the 824 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 2: league for multiple years now, and they run back the 825 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 2: same manager. There's there's a couple of cases for Madrid, right, 826 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 2: Like they bring Bellingham in and like he should be 827 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 2: a very good player in their midfield, immediately walks in 828 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,880 Speaker 2: and is probably a top four player on the team. 829 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 2: Veneties takes another step forward. You can kind of paint 830 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 2: the picture where this works. But they're gonna lose a 831 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 2: lot in production from losing Karen Benzema nineteen goals in 832 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 2: the league last year. Vlilevich is the name they've been floating. 833 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 2: He's getting three shots per ninety and ittaly point four 834 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 2: to five xg for ninety like fine, but not Benzema. 835 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 2: And his finishing is at the level of Benzema, and 836 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 2: his his you know, connectivity in his cohesion with Venetius 837 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 2: has really been amazing to see over the years. And 838 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,320 Speaker 2: then they lose Asensio two and it's not like a 839 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 2: Censio is a world beater player, but he produced a 840 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 2: lot for this team off the bench and in a 841 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 2: sub start role, like he wasn't always playing, but when 842 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 2: he did play, he was quite good. Censio fifteen goal 843 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 2: involvements in sixteen nineties last year. And did he overform 844 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 2: his ex g wildly, yes, but he was still putting 845 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 2: up some really impressive actually numbersero point seven actually plus 846 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 2: x a p ninety. He leaves and now it's like, 847 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 2: all right, who's left because he goes to PSG. So 848 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 2: now it's just Rodrigo Venetius belling Am. You know, I 849 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 2: expected Chew of Many to play more minutes, to slowly 850 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 2: work his way in for March and Cross, and maybe 851 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 2: that makes Real Madrid a better pressing team, a better 852 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 2: defensive aggressive team, because this Real Madrid team, because of 853 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 2: their athletic limitations with Benzima, Cross Modrich, you're very passive defensively, 854 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 2: so they would drop deeper, take you know, let teams 855 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 2: have the ball a little bit more against them, kind 856 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 2: of try to you know, allow weak, low quality shots. 857 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 2: But they're not getting high quality shots either, and now 858 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,720 Speaker 2: they're taking away the striker. So they've they were bottom 859 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 2: five in the league in average shot distance last year, 860 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 2: and that just makes you more vulnerable as an attack 861 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 2: to two variants. So all of that, and then we 862 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 2: compare it to Barcelona, which they you know, they've had 863 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 2: a very quiet summer. They lose Sergio Busquetz. I'm kind 864 00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 2: of skeptical on how much that really matters, because he 865 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 2: had been so passed his prime at this point, and 866 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 2: like his lack of running, I actually think hurt them 867 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 2: in transition defense against better teams. Like I think if 868 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 2: you had to say, what was Bars's biggest problem is 869 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 2: when they played teams with functioning transition attacks, they got 870 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 2: exposed a little bit, and that was shown in like 871 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,320 Speaker 2: United match, the intermatch the Byron like any team that 872 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 2: have like big time attackers really destroyed them. Otherwise this 873 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 2: was an elite defense. They were much better Terscht Dagan 874 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 2: had a ridiculous shot stopping season. I don't think he'll 875 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,359 Speaker 2: maintain that. But this is a Barcelona team that gets 876 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 2: a ton of high quality shots that I know they're 877 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 2: getting twenty five from Lewandowski if he's fit. They have, 878 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 2: you know, a younger core than Real Madrid. Why are 879 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 2: they such a big dog here? Is it because of Himbappe. 880 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 2: I don't really think they're even in the market for 881 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 2: Mbappe right now. I think it's clearly a next summer plant. Yeah, 882 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 2: so I don't think I can ford him this summer exactly. 883 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,280 Speaker 2: So that means I think bars is better and somebody 884 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 2: has a dmy for front of the pod DM me 885 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 2: but I let team no. I really don't have interested 886 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 2: eight to one like they won the league a couple 887 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,319 Speaker 2: of years ago twenty twenty twenty twenty one because O 888 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 2: Block had a historically good season for like the third 889 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 2: straight year he was at the peak of his powers. 890 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,239 Speaker 2: It's shot stopping. They had a ridiculous finishing run and 891 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 2: attack from Suarez and company. And Barsa and Rial were 892 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 2: both kind of down. Remember it was the Barsa team 893 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 2: right after they gotten destroyed by Bayern. It was Lionel 894 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 2: Messi like kind of on his way out. They had 895 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 2: all kinds of squad issues and they were down. They 896 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 2: were like and Rial was down too in the league, 897 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 2: and they still had much better underline number than that. 898 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 2: Letty and a Lette needed to luck box to get there. 899 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 2: It is so hard to win this league as underdog. 900 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 2: That's it's not really worth investing. Also, and Trunk createsman 901 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 2: thirty one goal involvements last season at age thirty one. 902 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 2: I've definitely said he was washing the past point eight 903 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 2: three x G plus x A ninety. That's better than 904 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 2: he's ever done ever. Yeah, Ever, as far as we 905 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 2: have the extra data back, so like twenty sixteen, so 906 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 2: the last seven years, he has the best year of 907 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 2: his career. I don't really think that's gonna happen again. 908 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 2: They're the third oldest team in the league. There's no 909 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 2: real like breakout star that's about to produce and bring 910 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 2: the gun to the scene and take the goals. In 911 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,879 Speaker 2: my view, so I'm kind of down on Letti too, 912 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 2: which means Sociadad, we run it back plus one ninety 913 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 2: top four. 914 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's going back to that. Yes, okay, it's 915 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:34,760 Speaker 1: a little short. 916 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, because but I don't really think that the Chasing 917 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:38,760 Speaker 2: pack is that good. 918 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: I'll give one. I'll give one that I like in 919 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: the Chasing pack, and it's the team we've bet a 920 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: million times. But Athletic Billbao. I like their profile and 921 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 1: if you look back last season they had similar numbers. 922 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I like sociad I thought the 923 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 1: number was just a tattoo short. They just lost solot 924 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 1: to Via. 925 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 2: Reale, which they have Lumar sadikin. 926 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,400 Speaker 1: Now they do have Lumar City's coming off an ACL injury, 927 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 1: so we'll see how good he is. Obviously. You know, 928 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: we love take Fusu Kuba, we love Ole Thabo, but 929 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 1: Athletic bill Bao. You know, they do lose Nigo Martinez 930 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 1: to Barcelona, who is their best defender, so that's a problem. 931 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 1: But this is a team last season that put up 932 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,439 Speaker 1: the fifth best expected gold differential, only two goals behind Rial. 933 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: Socidad obviously a very very good defensive team and they're 934 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: very They're so difficult to play against because they can 935 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: come out and press you with their forwards. They have 936 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 1: the most highes turn numbers of anybody in LA League, 937 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: and they can sit so well compact defensively in that 938 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,359 Speaker 1: low block. You know, the best final third to box 939 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: entry conversion rate of anybody in LA League as well. 940 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 1: You know, Martinez is a loss, but you look around, 941 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,359 Speaker 1: they didn't lose anybody else. The Williams brothers are still 942 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: there putting up great numbers. They have one of the 943 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: most exciting young players, no Han Sinsett, who was about 944 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 1: a point five xg plus expected us this per ninety 945 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 1: minute rate at the age of twenty two, commanding a 946 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 1: thirty million dollar transfer value on transfer market dot Com. 947 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: And again we look at the chasing pack. You know, Socidad, 948 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think the number might be 949 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,399 Speaker 1: just a little too short. Savilla and Rial Bettis had 950 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: significantly worse underlying metrics. You know, Syvia's obviously completely fallen 951 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 1: off in terms of where they are as a team, 952 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: and I don't really see them as much of a 953 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 1: threat anymore unless they love box their way up to 954 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 1: the top four like they've done in previous seasons. You 955 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,839 Speaker 1: look at Via Reale, who just loss pow Torres. There's 956 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 1: really nobody else other than Bill Bao and Socia Dad 957 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 1: and the chasing pack for top four. And you also 958 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 1: mentioned the problems with Athletico Madrid, how they're old and 959 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: they're only getting older, bringing in you know, Espilaquetta and 960 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,840 Speaker 1: Sionku to somewhat shir up their defense. I don't know 961 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,280 Speaker 1: if that really does anything. You know, over the course 962 00:48:55,320 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: of the end of last season, uh semeone started playing 963 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 1: a lot more aggressively. You know, Athletico was putting up 964 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,840 Speaker 1: great offensive numbers. I think that's why you saw Antoine 965 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 1: Griesman who forever was playing in Semioni's four four to 966 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: two low block, you know, key and on defensive metrics. 967 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 1: But now, I mean Athletico was putting up two to 968 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 1: three expected goals towards the end of last season. Then 969 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 1: they switched to the three five too, so we'll see 970 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,359 Speaker 1: what happens. You know, how I would attack Athletic, Bill 971 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 1: Boo is I like them at nine to one to 972 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: be the winner without Barcelona or Real Madrid because nobody's 973 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 1: catching those two. It's it's going to be a two 974 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: horse race, you know, them being better than teams like 975 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 1: Sevilla and Real. Bettis I think there's in vi Real. 976 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: I think that's a decent price to take a chance 977 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 1: on them. Finally, they don't want they it looks like 978 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: they're not going to play in Europe. Osasuna has been 979 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 1: going through this weird like match fixing thing where they 980 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: from like ten years ago where some they got banned 981 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: from Europa Conference League and then bill bow Is going 982 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,040 Speaker 1: to take their place, but then they appealed it and 983 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,839 Speaker 1: they won that appeal, So I'm not really sure what's 984 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: going on with that right now. But Bill Boo is 985 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 1: not going to be playing Europe, so they won't have 986 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 1: that added pressure with them, while you know, Sociadada is 987 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 1: making their return to the Champions League, which is obviously 988 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,319 Speaker 1: huge for them and you know added matches in there. 989 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: So at a price of nine to one, I think 990 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 1: it's a decent price on Bill Bois team. We obviously 991 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 1: have bet you know, a million times to be the 992 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 1: winner without essentially finish in third place. 993 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Virial got raided. I mean they Jackson to Chelsea. 994 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 2: They lost the Quays to Milan. They lost Torres. That's 995 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,320 Speaker 2: the two of their three or four best players lose. Also, 996 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 2: who was awesome for them on loan last year goes 997 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 2: back to Spurs now, So like they have gotten raided. 998 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 2: I wasn't even really a big fan of them in 999 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 2: the market, Like after Emery left, they kind of stagnated, 1000 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 2: and so I think there's real regression coming for them. 1001 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,240 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the mid table. 1002 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 2: Savilla is interesting because you're kind of buying them at 1003 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,480 Speaker 2: the peak here again, like who's the real Sevilla. They're 1004 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 2: not the team that played relegation level half of the season. 1005 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 2: But then like you could say, you could squint and say, well, 1006 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 2: they had a plus point four actually difference per ninety 1007 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 2: in the final three months of the season. That is 1008 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,280 Speaker 2: about what they would need to play out for this season. 1009 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 2: Tore to deserve that number at plus two thirty or 1010 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 2: whatever it is to finish top four, and they weren't 1011 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 2: that two years ago. They don't really have like a 1012 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 2: list of like an impressive list of players coming in. 1013 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 2: They probably get more from their strikers this year and 1014 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,399 Speaker 2: the series but like they weren't good defensively either, So 1015 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 2: I think there's still a lot of questions about this 1016 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 2: Sevia team, like what are they really I still think 1017 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 2: that they're clearly worse than Socidad and slightly worse than Billbao, 1018 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,480 Speaker 2: so I could see them finish fifth or sixth, but 1019 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 2: I really think top four is a stretch, and I 1020 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,520 Speaker 2: just like the associated odd team. They also got Andre 1021 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 2: Silva in there. He's okay, him in for Sir Loo 1022 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 2: who leaves, it's kind of wash for me. Sadiko twenty 1023 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 2: four goals in the second division. That he had twenty 1024 00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,840 Speaker 2: seven goals in the second division for al Maria. He 1025 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 2: scored three goals in the first two games, then got 1026 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,960 Speaker 2: sold and then got hurt. So him added into this 1027 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,319 Speaker 2: team is a real threat. And you know, we don't 1028 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 2: know what he looks like off this big knee injury, 1029 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 2: but if he's anywhere close to to you know, what 1030 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 2: I think he can be, then this is like a 1031 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,839 Speaker 2: twenty goal per year striker on a team that had 1032 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 2: if they had a problem, it was scoring goals. They 1033 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,239 Speaker 2: were an elite defensive team. I still like as Sociodad, 1034 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 2: and I know it's a little bit cheaper this year, 1035 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 2: but I think there's a good chance they finished third, 1036 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 2: and I'll be looking to find like associate DoD Over 1037 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,399 Speaker 2: at Letti Market. I don't know that we'll get one, 1038 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,359 Speaker 2: but if we do, I'm intrigued by it. I guess 1039 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 2: what is their winner without barsa real price? 1040 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 1: Socidad is sitting ast six to one to be the 1041 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,360 Speaker 1: winner without That's an interesting price. 1042 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 2: I think I like that more. Yeah, and just as 1043 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 2: much as top foe me. I'm gonna bet some top 1044 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 2: four and I'm also gonna bet some winner without I 1045 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 2: really just like the everything about this team, the system, 1046 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 2: the addition of a city who has a ton of upside. 1047 00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 2: They were just about as good as a Letti last 1048 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 2: year until Graysman went god mode for like three months. 1049 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 1: The hast season and if and the thing about a 1050 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,640 Speaker 1: floody coat as well. Like, they're not going to get 1051 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 1: better defensively just because they brought in Simon and Asper. Quote. 1052 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: If they're going to continue to play this high scoring, 1053 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,800 Speaker 1: high event style, I think it's going to be a 1054 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 1: negative for them in the long run because of how 1055 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 1: old they are in attack, Like they're basically just gonna 1056 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: be relying on Marata and grays Mont to be most 1057 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 1: of their attack for an entire season, and I'm not 1058 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:28,279 Speaker 1: sure they can really keep that up. 1059 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I no, Block has not been the same guy 1060 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 2: the last two years. True he's been fine, but like 1061 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 2: not the same guy, not the holy goodness God level 1062 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 2: shot stopping. So that was really their their ace in 1063 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 2: the hole. Without him at that level, it's just kind 1064 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,279 Speaker 2: of a black profile, like a team that doesn't really 1065 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 2: have a high ceiling. So yeah, no interest in a 1066 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 2: LETI for the league. I'm sure Leeboff will come on 1067 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,239 Speaker 2: and bet them win the Champions League again and then 1068 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 2: don't make a donation in the name of maybe I'll 1069 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 2: book those tickets this year, book them. 1070 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: I'll book your tickets for that. Yeah, that'd be funny. 1071 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Uh, I'm gonna move us 1072 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: onto relegation. There is a team out there that I 1073 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 1: told you before this market came out that I really 1074 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 1: wanted to bet, and I was hoping they wouldn't make 1075 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: them the favorite to be relegated or something as at 1076 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 1: a minus number, and they didn't, and I'm glad they didn't. 1077 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: But I love Kaddiz to be relegated at plus one 1078 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 1: thirty eight. They're giving me the same similar vibes to 1079 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 1: what LJA was going into last season. A team that 1080 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: you know in Cadiz that had a minus twenty expected 1081 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 1: oldfferential which was third worst in La Liga. They really 1082 00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 1: should have been relegated. Espiniol really should have stayed up. 1083 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 1: And when you're talking about relegation, you know we we've 1084 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,920 Speaker 1: obviously talked at length about this is really book. You 1085 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,400 Speaker 1: want to bet teams that have the biggest potential for 1086 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 1: things to go really really wrong, and you have to 1087 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: ask yourself what can really go right for this team 1088 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 1: to stay up. If you look at the teams coming 1089 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 1: up from the second division, Granada and Alabase have been 1090 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,480 Speaker 1: mainstays in Laaliga for for a while and they have 1091 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 1: a decent talent pool. If you look at transfer dot com, 1092 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,240 Speaker 1: Los Palmas is a very very interesting team, Anthony, because 1093 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:10,520 Speaker 1: they put up insane underlying numbers in the second division 1094 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,960 Speaker 1: around a point seven to eight. They were a point 1095 00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: seven to eight actually differential per ninety and that was 1096 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 1: way better than Alabe's, way better than Grenada. Very clear 1097 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,360 Speaker 1: in a way the best team in the second division. 1098 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 1: So although they have the least talent per transmarket dot Com, 1099 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 1: they are going to project out to be a halfway 1100 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,360 Speaker 1: decent team that you could finish fourteenth or fifteenth in 1101 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 1: this league. So now you look at a team like 1102 00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 1: Cadiz who should have been relegated. Who what were they 1103 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 1: really good at last season? They were near the bottom. Defensively, 1104 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,800 Speaker 1: they were a really really bad love block that allowed 1105 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 1: one point six expected goals for ninety minutes. They weren't 1106 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 1: effective in transition. They had the third lowest amount of shots, 1107 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,800 Speaker 1: second lowest big scoring chances, fifth longest average shot distance. 1108 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 1: It's just only a matter of time before a team 1109 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 1: like this gets relegated. And so at a price of 1110 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,359 Speaker 1: plus one thirty eight to go down, I really think 1111 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: they should be the favorites to go down, given the 1112 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,239 Speaker 1: teams that came up from the second division. And there's 1113 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,840 Speaker 1: really no other team other than al Maria, who you know, 1114 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,799 Speaker 1: they lose the l'al tore, but they you know, they 1115 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: bringing a kone who's a nicer addition for him, and 1116 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,719 Speaker 1: a team that can actually score goals as opposed to 1117 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 1: this Cadiz team that can't defend, can't score, can't really 1118 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 1: do anything well and just needs kind of a couple 1119 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 1: crazy results against the bottom half the table to stay up. 1120 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 1: So oh and one more thing I got. I forgot 1121 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:39,280 Speaker 1: to mention about Cadiz. They just lost THEO Bogdanga to Moscow. 1122 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,600 Speaker 1: He led their team, Yes, led their team with four 1123 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 1: goals in three assists. That was the highest total of anybody. 1124 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 1: Was a point three to eight x sheet plus expected 1125 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 1: assists rate for ninety. Nobody else was even close on 1126 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,319 Speaker 1: their team and played over ten nineties. So I think 1127 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,640 Speaker 1: this team is going down. They're giving me similar vibes 1128 00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 1: to l Chase. So I really really like Cadiz to 1129 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:04,320 Speaker 1: be relegated. All right, that we'll do it for Spain. 1130 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,400 Speaker 1: Let's move on to our final league, France League one, 1131 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 1: And Anthony, when I saw the title odds this one, 1132 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 1: this league maybe made me the most intrigued of any 1133 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 1: of the other leagues. Oh yeah, of what is happening 1134 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: at PSG right now? And I think it is creating 1135 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:29,040 Speaker 1: a fantastic betting opportunity. But PSG is your favorite. They're 1136 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: sitting up minus three fifty, Marseilles twelve to one, Lens 1137 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 1: twenty to one, Monaco twenty to one, Lil twenty to one, 1138 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 1: Leon's twenty five to one, Ren thirty three to one, 1139 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 1: Niice is fifty to one, Reems is two hundred to one, 1140 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 1: Strasbourg two hundred to one, Toulouse two hundred and fifty 1141 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,760 Speaker 1: to one, Montpellier two hundred and fifty to one. Claremont 1142 00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 1: Foot and Knots are both three hundred and fifty one, 1143 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 1: Laurent is five hundred to one, Lejavre is seven hundred 1144 00:57:58,080 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 1: and fifty to one, Breast one thousand and one, and 1145 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 1: Mets is one thousand to one as well, if you've 1146 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 1: been living under a rock, there is a lot of 1147 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: drama at PSG surrounding Killian and bape on Weather and 1148 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:17,080 Speaker 1: I honestly, as and Neymar and as time as we 1149 00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,120 Speaker 1: record this, Anthony, I don't know what I don't know 1150 00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 1: what the current status is. I know that he's been 1151 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 1: dropped for their first couple league on matches. You know, 1152 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: as it's been stated is it's basically a stalemate where 1153 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 1: PSG says we are not going to let him leave 1154 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 1: for free to Real Madrid, and he is basically saying, no, 1155 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 1: I want to play out my final year at PSG 1156 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 1: because he wants to, you know, recoup quite a bit 1157 00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 1: of money, and I think this creates a fantastic betting 1158 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 1: opportunity for a team down the board that had basically 1159 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 1: just as kind of expected metrics as PSG had in 1160 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,440 Speaker 1: lil who you can find as high as thirty five 1161 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 1: to one in the market right now. 1162 00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's really you have to dig into 1163 00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 2: the team and kind of figure out who has the 1164 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 2: ceiling to get to that level. First thing, first, league 1165 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 2: is shorter this year. He went from twenty teams to 1166 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 2: eighteen teams, which means you instead of playing thirty eight games, 1167 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 2: you only played thirty four, which, of course, shorter games 1168 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,360 Speaker 2: means more variance, means more chance of an upset happening 1169 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 2: against the better PSG team. There's the chance they lose 1170 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,919 Speaker 2: both namar And and Bappe. Even if they keep both, 1171 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 2: I think they're still vulnerable. This is a team that 1172 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,600 Speaker 2: only won the league over LENS by a couple points 1173 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,640 Speaker 2: last year, and had Lens had a better day at 1174 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 2: PSG toward the end of the season, they could have won. 1175 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 2: The league ended up being a one point gap. PSG 1176 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 2: kind of mailed in the last two matches. 1177 00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: So. 1178 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 2: The question is who can get to that eighty points 1179 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 2: that reasonably, you know, and it's gonna be a little 1180 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 2: lower this year, I guess because of the shorter number. 1181 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,360 Speaker 2: But the two teams that immediately jump off the page 1182 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:52,040 Speaker 2: to me are Ren and Leal, And you mentioned lel already. 1183 00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 2: I think they're going to keep David. They keep David, 1184 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,080 Speaker 2: then you know, it's twenty goals in the door, impressive 1185 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,280 Speaker 2: numbers from him. They a style that makes them a 1186 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 2: very solid defensive side. They sometimes will struggle to get 1187 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,440 Speaker 2: separation from weaker teams in this league, but you know, 1188 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 2: by extra different second best in the league last year 1189 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 2: by expected goals allowed, best defense. Marseille for me, you know, 1190 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,760 Speaker 2: we gotta do this thing again, Marseille. I'm not falling 1191 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 2: forward again. I'm betting them because I bet the ceiling 1192 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,360 Speaker 2: last year, and you know, they showed signs of it, 1193 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 2: but the inconsistency, the constant performances down the stretch where 1194 01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 2: they just looked kind of uninterested. And you know, they 1195 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 2: get seventeen goal contributions from thirty three year old Alexis 1196 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 2: Sanchez and you know, how much is that repeatable? Like 1197 01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 2: they've had a decent summer, but I'm kind of uncertain 1198 01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 2: about like how high their ceiling really is. And this 1199 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 2: has been two straight years now where we've been like, well, 1200 01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,960 Speaker 2: Marseille could be really good, but then it doesn't really 1201 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,920 Speaker 2: ever end up showing up on the pitch. You know, 1202 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 2: they get Obama Yang in, they get and Die in 1203 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 2: from Sheffield United, smile a sar like, They've made some 1204 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 2: really interesting signings again, so I'm kind of intrigued, but 1205 01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it because the number is 1206 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 2: not that good and there's not that much of a 1207 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 2: gap between Leel and the rest of the team. The 1208 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 2: other the other team that caught my eye and that 1209 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,400 Speaker 2: I think has had a quietly really good summer is Ren. 1210 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,040 Speaker 2: If you look at you know where they bought, there's 1211 01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,800 Speaker 2: probably names you've never heard of, but it doesn't mean 1212 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 2: they haven't bought really interesting players. They get Enzo le 1213 01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 2: Fe from Lorient, who was the best player midfielder for them, 1214 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 2: for twenty million. They go out and buy Ludovich Blase, 1215 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 2: who was the best player for not last year if 1216 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 2: you look at their underlying numbers, for fifteen million. So 1217 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 2: very quietly they went out and spent a little bit 1218 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:53,400 Speaker 2: of money to get two very good attacking players and 1219 01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 2: you know, they do lose a couple guys, you know, 1220 01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:00,640 Speaker 2: Bade and Uguchuku to Chelsea, like that will hurt, but 1221 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,880 Speaker 2: this is still a team with you know, new players 1222 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 2: coming in that I like that have proven production in 1223 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 2: league on. They had a good, solid underlying base last year. 1224 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 2: They keep the majority of their goal scoring from last 1225 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 2: year too, So I'm into Ren. I think Wren, you 1226 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 2: can bet them if you want to bet them to 1227 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:20,880 Speaker 2: win the league. 1228 01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 1: I like that. 1229 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,720 Speaker 2: I think they're interesting as a top four flyer at 1230 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,920 Speaker 2: plus one sixty. I also think that they're interesting in 1231 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 2: a winner without PSG market as well, because they will 1232 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 2: be right up there with them, I think, and they've 1233 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,480 Speaker 2: proven that they can they can kind of give PSG 1234 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 2: the work a little bit. They were very competitive with 1235 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 2: them last season, and this is two straight years where 1236 01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,360 Speaker 2: they've been really good. They keep ouregard, they keep greedy, 1237 01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 2: so I like Ren. They they did beat PSG twice 1238 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 2: last year too, if that's worth anything to You don't 1239 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,800 Speaker 2: really care about head to head, but I'm gonna go 1240 01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 2: with Ren and Leo as my two teams to potentially 1241 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 2: steal this league in a wide open year, and it's 1242 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 2: gonna be very entertaining. 1243 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,000 Speaker 1: PESG is so interesting to me because you know, they 1244 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,320 Speaker 1: spent quite a bit of money this summer to bring 1245 01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,600 Speaker 1: in a number of players. You know, just got announced 1246 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,920 Speaker 1: that Gonzala Ramos is coming over from Benfica. They bring 1247 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:19,440 Speaker 1: in Kenyan Lee from Majorca, Asencio from Real Madrid. They 1248 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 1: solidify their defense with Lucas Hernandez from Byron Munich Screener 1249 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 1: from Inter They bring up with Ugarte from Lisbon. Like, 1250 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,440 Speaker 1: they brought in a lot of players with some pretty 1251 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 1: that I think really helps them, mostly defensively. The question 1252 01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 1: mark er at surrounding PSG is is if they do 1253 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 1: this stalemate and Abobe, whether he leaves or they just 1254 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 1: sit him on the bench for the entire season, how 1255 01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 1: good are they going to be offensively? And can they 1256 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, make up for the type of production that 1257 01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 1: Inbape and Messi had less season Because Messi and and 1258 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: Babe last season combined for eight point six shots per 1259 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 1: ninety one point three expected goals and fifteen touches in 1260 01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 1: the penalty year. That is massive, massive offensive numbers to 1261 01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,800 Speaker 1: make up for it, and I'm not sure. Listen, gun 1262 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Sala Ramos is awesome. He had the hat trick in 1263 01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 1: the World Cup. I'm not sure if he's ready to 1264 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,040 Speaker 1: come in and just start putting up just crazy numbers 1265 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,200 Speaker 1: like and Bope and Messi did last season. Then you 1266 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: look at you know, Messi was incredible in terms of creation, 1267 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 1: chance creation last season, one hundred and twenty passes in 1268 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 1: the penalty and Bope had seventy six. You go down 1269 01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:28,080 Speaker 1: the list. Their next two was Renetta Sanchez and Marco Varazzi. Well, 1270 01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,680 Speaker 1: Sanchez is rumored to be going on loan to Roma, 1271 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,919 Speaker 1: Varazzi is rumored to be going to the Saudi League. 1272 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,840 Speaker 1: So now you basically have this squad overhaul and transitional 1273 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,120 Speaker 1: period from PSG, and it almost creates this perfect opportunity 1274 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,560 Speaker 1: to pick them off and listen, even if you go 1275 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 1: back through PSG's season last year, if you remember the 1276 01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: first six matches of the season, they looked like the 1277 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,320 Speaker 1: best team ever assembled. I mean, they outscored their opponents 1278 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 1: twenty four to four. They put up eighteen point three 1279 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:58,200 Speaker 1: expected goals, like they looked like they were just going 1280 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,080 Speaker 1: to run away and destroy everybody. Then the Champions League started, 1281 01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,000 Speaker 1: they started focusing more on that because that's always been 1282 01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,439 Speaker 1: PSG's main goals to win the Champions League. They don't 1283 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: really They say they care, but they really don't care 1284 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 1: as much about league on and like they do the 1285 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,600 Speaker 1: Champions League and their performances dropped down. If you look 1286 01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 1: at just post World Cup, Lil had the best non 1287 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,120 Speaker 1: penalty expected gold of Pfetial by four goals over Marseille. 1288 01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 1: They were at plus nineteen since the since the world 1289 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 1: after the World Cup break. And what made Lil so good, 1290 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,040 Speaker 1: like you mentioned their defense, which was amazing. I mean 1291 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 1: they allowed under thirty goals from open play. They you know, 1292 01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,400 Speaker 1: they were gonna be getting They're getting Jallo back, who 1293 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,280 Speaker 1: missed the entire second half due to injury. You know, 1294 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 1: Jonathan David, like you mentioned, he's going to be back. 1295 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,480 Speaker 1: He bagged twenty four goals last season. They kept their 1296 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 1: midfield together, they even brought in, you know, somewhat some 1297 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:54,080 Speaker 1: good talent. And most importantly, they underperformed offensively thirty eight 1298 01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:58,640 Speaker 1: goals a forty eight expected post World Cup. And they 1299 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 1: kept their manager, Fanesca. He you know, he was rumored 1300 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: to go to Marseille. He was rumored to go to 1301 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:05,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of different jobs. He turned all those jobs 1302 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 1: down to come back to LIL and this isn't the 1303 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 1: little team you know from a couple of years ago 1304 01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 1: that was four four to two low block transitional, like, 1305 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:14,840 Speaker 1: this is a little team that can control matches, can 1306 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 1: control possession. They controlled sixty point five percent possession last 1307 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 1: season on average. So at a price at thirty five 1308 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,720 Speaker 1: to one, a team that's putting up this good of 1309 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:28,200 Speaker 1: underlying metrics that basically kept their same squad together from 1310 01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,440 Speaker 1: last season, it's it's too good of a price to 1311 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,240 Speaker 1: turn down at thirty five to one. So I'll be 1312 01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 1: on Little at thirty five to one, as will you 1313 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,960 Speaker 1: along with Ren in that market. But yeah, this is 1314 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 1: really a really good opportunity here. You know, we got 1315 01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 1: this a couple of years ago when you know it 1316 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 1: did end up working out, but when Barcelona and Real 1317 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 1: Madrid were going through their financial fair play and you 1318 01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,880 Speaker 1: know all of their financial issues post COVID, there's only 1319 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 1: rare instances where you get a chance to really fade 1320 01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 1: these top tier clubs that you know, like a by 1321 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,360 Speaker 1: Iron or PSG in their individual leagues. And I think 1322 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,959 Speaker 1: this is a perfect opportunity to do it in League 1323 01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,800 Speaker 1: GNE with a team that actually knocked PSG off the 1324 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 1: perch two years ago to win the league of fifty 1325 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 1: to one. So I think it's a good price on 1326 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:13,320 Speaker 1: LIL at thirty five. 1327 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, real quick. You know, Lenz finishes second, they lose Opende, 1328 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 2: they lose Fofana haven't been that active in the transfer market. 1329 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,960 Speaker 2: I'm kind of expecting a big regression year from them, yep, 1330 01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 2: without the goals. Monico and Leone both had decent seasons, 1331 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 2: but they both just kind of start from a really 1332 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 2: low defensive baseline to the point where I don't really 1333 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,080 Speaker 2: trust them to hold up over the course of a 1334 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,479 Speaker 2: thirty four match season. So that's why I'm I'm into 1335 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 2: the other two. Like I said, Leo to win the 1336 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 2: league ren winner without PSG. Also like the top four 1337 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 2: plus one sixty, So yeah, riding those teams and it's 1338 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:52,280 Speaker 2: gonna be a really fun league on this season. 1339 01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 1: It is going to be fun. So let's move to 1340 01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 1: relegation because, like you mentioned, we're moving to eighteen teams, 1341 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,080 Speaker 1: so that means there are for a lot of these 1342 01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 1: teams near the bottom of the table, there are four 1343 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 1: less matches against you know, relegation type fodder, and one 1344 01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 1: team that caught my eye when I was going through 1345 01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: the odds, it is kind of a short price Sat 1346 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,520 Speaker 1: de Bresois at plus one sixty eight to be relegated. 1347 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this team was the definition of below average 1348 01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 1: last season. They did finish nine points from safety, but 1349 01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,600 Speaker 1: they had the second worst to expect a goldfferential of 1350 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 1: the teams that survived. You know, Lorient had the worst. 1351 01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 1: But I think Lorient made a couple moves this summer 1352 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 1: that I think will make them a little bit better. Also, 1353 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 1: they're owned by the same team as Bournemouth, so they 1354 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:38,760 Speaker 1: see excive me the same owner as Bournemouth, so you 1355 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,240 Speaker 1: might see they have some money to play around in 1356 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,000 Speaker 1: the transfer market. And you know Bress just sold their 1357 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:49,600 Speaker 1: best attacking player Horner rats too Glodbach. So there you go, 1358 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 1: there's your attacking talent coming over Anthony to Glodbach point 1359 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,759 Speaker 1: five point five x G plus expected SIS rate. Last season, 1360 01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,720 Speaker 1: they brought back Martin Satriano on loan. He was on 1361 01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,560 Speaker 1: loan two years ago from them from intern try to 1362 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,680 Speaker 1: bolster their offense. He didn't have a great season then 1363 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,439 Speaker 1: limited sample size, wasn't really that effective offensively. They made 1364 01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 1: a managerial change in the middle of the season brought 1365 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: in Eric Roy, who hadn't managed since twenty eleven, didn't 1366 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 1: go very well second worst expect a goal differential of 1367 01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,559 Speaker 1: the newly promoted teams over his sample size in charge 1368 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,799 Speaker 1: with twenty one matches. I think there's some real bottoming 1369 01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,719 Speaker 1: out potential. I mean, the squad is the fourth lowest 1370 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:30,080 Speaker 1: squad transfer value on per transfer market dot com. If 1371 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,000 Speaker 1: they put up worse offensive numbers than they did last 1372 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,200 Speaker 1: year where they couldn't even average over one non penalty 1373 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 1: expect goal for ninety I think they could very easily 1374 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,400 Speaker 1: get relegated. So and you know there's a change here. 1375 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:42,240 Speaker 1: You know with France, you know they go back to 1376 01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: eighteen teams, but like I mentioned, you know, the top 1377 01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 1: bottom two teams get automatically relegated and then that seventeenth place, 1378 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,000 Speaker 1: much like Germany, is a relegation playoff with third place 1379 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: team in the second division. So they could verily easily 1380 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,719 Speaker 1: drop down to at least seventeenth here potentially to get relegated. 1381 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,720 Speaker 1: So that's the only thing that my eye in terms 1382 01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 1: of relegation in ligue on one more before we get 1383 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 1: out of here, Golden boot, because you know, obviously Killian 1384 01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 1: Embappe is the overwhelming favorite, but we don't know what's 1385 01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,200 Speaker 1: going to happen with him right now. And this market. 1386 01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,840 Speaker 1: Anthony is also very interesting because if you look at 1387 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 1: some of the top names from last season, they're gone. 1388 01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,200 Speaker 1: Baligan is gone, Lionelle Messi is gone, Openda is gone. 1389 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 1: So that leaves a couple names. You know, Jonathan David 1390 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:31,760 Speaker 1: is eight to one in this market. That's all too 1391 01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 1: short for me to take that type of price. You know, 1392 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,680 Speaker 1: Lacazette is next at ten to one. He's getting a 1393 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,200 Speaker 1: little bit up there, even though he put up great 1394 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,080 Speaker 1: shot numbers. So it kind of landed me on one name. 1395 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,759 Speaker 1: I was going through a couple of you know, Tererem 1396 01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 1: Mophi was kind of interesting, but he just didn't get 1397 01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 1: the type of XG for ninety numbers that you need 1398 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,400 Speaker 1: to win this type of award. So I settled on 1399 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 1: Wasim Ben Yettter from Monaco at fourteen to one. Very 1400 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,559 Speaker 1: very interesting profile. Obviously, is getting up there in age. 1401 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: He's thirty one now, only played a little over twenty 1402 01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,839 Speaker 1: three nineties last season, but in those twenty three nineties 1403 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,720 Speaker 1: he put up a point seven to four actually per 1404 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 1: ninety minute scoring rate that was third in League N 1405 01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,320 Speaker 1: only to Imbappe and Baligan. He was only getting two 1406 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 1: point eight shots FORER ninety. Increased competition from Bolo and 1407 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 1: they in the lineup, you know, reduces his shots for 1408 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 1: NINETI but he is the one that takes penalties, which 1409 01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,760 Speaker 1: obviously you need for the Golden Boot, and over the 1410 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,639 Speaker 1: last three seasons he scored twenty three goals from the penalties. 1411 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 1: He's very very good at them. And Monico's the offense 1412 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 1: last season was top five and XG. They won't be 1413 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,800 Speaker 1: taking part in any European competition, so Ben Yettter at 1414 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: thirty one, can put all of his focus into League On, 1415 01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,639 Speaker 1: hopefully can play over thirty nineties, get decent shot numbers 1416 01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:47,080 Speaker 1: continue at x G for ninety and what should be 1417 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,519 Speaker 1: a very very interesting Golden Boot race if Imbope is 1418 01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:54,679 Speaker 1: not involved in it, So that isolanded on ben Yette 1419 01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,120 Speaker 1: at fourteen to one. You know, Gonzala Ramos just came 1420 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 1: over from from Benfica. I'll be interested to see what 1421 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 1: his odds are in this Golden Boo market. 1422 01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 2: I don't think I put his name two seventy five. 1423 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:09,479 Speaker 1: Plus two seventy five? Are you being serious? 1424 01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:11,040 Speaker 2: That's serious. 1425 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:12,679 Speaker 1: That's so short. Oh my gosh. 1426 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 2: I was gonna say that if he was like six 1427 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:16,080 Speaker 2: seven to one, I was gonna find out. I was 1428 01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 2: gonna say that five is terrible. Ben three sixty five 1429 01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:20,960 Speaker 2: has it up, and Bape plus one fifty, Ramos plus 1430 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 2: two seventy five, then David Laca, Ben yet Er Neymar 1431 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:31,040 Speaker 2: then you get down the list. But I had no 1432 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,639 Speaker 2: real lean here. To be honest, don't love Benyadeer because 1433 01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:35,920 Speaker 2: he's kind of on the way down for me. I 1434 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:37,880 Speaker 2: don't know that he'll stay fit enough. But if he 1435 01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 2: plays thirty nineties, then yeah, he's for sure live. 1436 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,080 Speaker 1: And that's the hope here because you know they're not again, 1437 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,320 Speaker 1: they're not gonna play in Europe, so he can focus in. 1438 01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's only thirty four matches now, not thirty eight, 1439 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 1: so you really just need him to peak for you know, 1440 01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,320 Speaker 1: get keep that same actually for ninety minute up, which 1441 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 1: he has done the last few seasons. Ramonico team putting 1442 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,320 Speaker 1: all their folks in a league on so we'll see, 1443 01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,559 Speaker 1: you know. I also just saw that today Monaco made 1444 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 1: a bid for for Ballion, so that makes things also 1445 01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:11,200 Speaker 1: very interesting. So I haven't bet ben Yette yet. But 1446 01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait until you know the gun opens on 1447 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:17,360 Speaker 1: Friday to see and if it's there and Balikan hasn't 1448 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 1: came over with Marsenall yet, I'll be hitting benyettter at 1449 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,120 Speaker 1: fourteen to one. I got to give out one more 1450 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,960 Speaker 1: bet that really really caught my eye when I was 1451 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:27,639 Speaker 1: going through it. I've already put it out on Twitter. 1452 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 1: It's a limited market. I think you know Bet three 1453 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,559 Speaker 1: sixty five has it up. You can find also one 1454 01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,679 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to one out there. The Dutch second Division, 1455 01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 1: also known as the Euresta de Vise, the IXU twenty 1456 01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,080 Speaker 1: one team is one hundred and fifty to one. Last 1457 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,160 Speaker 1: season they finished sixth then expected older thrensial her transfer 1458 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,000 Speaker 1: market dot com. They have the second highest squad transfer 1459 01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,160 Speaker 1: value of anybody in that second division. They obviously can't 1460 01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:53,320 Speaker 1: get promoted if they win. But for a team that 1461 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:57,040 Speaker 1: is essentially the second most talented, that has put up 1462 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 1: top six numbers, be sitting at one hundred and fifty 1463 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,000 Speaker 1: to one is a little crazy. So if you want 1464 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,760 Speaker 1: to have some fun in the second division, I asked 1465 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,320 Speaker 1: you twenty one team I think as a legitimate shot 1466 01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:07,920 Speaker 1: to win that you. 1467 01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,599 Speaker 2: Already told me. I'm gonna bet it. Set off this show. 1468 01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,400 Speaker 2: Let's do like a quick, little like rapid fire recap, 1469 01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,120 Speaker 2: just kind of like what we generally like so Bundesliga. 1470 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 2: We're both on Leipzig to be the best non Byron team. 1471 01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 2: We think Byron is a little bit cheap to win 1472 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,040 Speaker 2: the league. I'm an agreement on that because I don't 1473 01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,719 Speaker 2: think they're going to go into the season without addressing striker. 1474 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,080 Speaker 2: So if they don't get Kane, I think Kolamwani is 1475 01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,400 Speaker 2: a name that may move. I think there's no way 1476 01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,600 Speaker 2: that Chukl goes into the year with just cubamoting. I 1477 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,160 Speaker 2: think that's a real risk play, and I think Byron 1478 01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,880 Speaker 2: will spend to make sure that they're not in danger there. 1479 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 2: And Dortmund losing Bellingham and Guerrero hurts. So we like Leipzig. 1480 01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:49,040 Speaker 2: We threw out potential relegation flyers on on Hoffenheim and 1481 01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:54,040 Speaker 2: on Gladbach. You also like Osburg to be relegated. Plus 1482 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,679 Speaker 2: T twenty five the luck box runs out of batteries 1483 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,600 Speaker 2: potentially in Italy, we kind of agreed. The market is 1484 01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,400 Speaker 2: a little bit uninteresting at the moment. Yeah, but we 1485 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:06,360 Speaker 2: did mention Fiorentine as a potential sleeper. You think Salanyitana 1486 01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,200 Speaker 2: finally goes down after they've beat relegation off for a 1487 01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,720 Speaker 2: couple of years. We agree Napoli should be a slight 1488 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:13,720 Speaker 2: favorite of our inter for the league three to one, 1489 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:17,400 Speaker 2: decent price, maybe not quite good enough cile start in 1490 01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,040 Speaker 2: La Liga. I'm all over Barsa to win the league 1491 01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:21,720 Speaker 2: at plus one forty. I don't think they're worse than 1492 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:26,800 Speaker 2: Real Madrid. I love Sociadad top four and top three. 1493 01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 2: You like Billbao. We are both out on Sevilla and 1494 01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:33,920 Speaker 2: Via Real as potential threats. And then in Ligan it's 1495 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,839 Speaker 2: all leo baby, all lel all the time. Against PSG, 1496 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,120 Speaker 2: we're playing against them. Also, I like Ren and you 1497 01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,559 Speaker 2: think Brest is the team that could go down Stat 1498 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:46,519 Speaker 2: de Bresois this season. As the eighteen team French League 1499 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 2: gets underway this weekend. That's right, So we will have 1500 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,599 Speaker 2: written previews for all of these leagues. BJ's covering France 1501 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 2: and Spain this week. I will be covering Italy and 1502 01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,599 Speaker 2: Germany next week.

How about those how about those. 1511 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,880 Speaker 1: Sees, how about those suites.
