I am the soccer editor 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 4: here at Action, and in just a moment I will 17 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 4: be joined by my colleagues BJ Cunningham and Anthony Dbundo, 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 4: and the three of us will handicap all sixteen matches 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 4: coming your way in the Champions League this week. And 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 4: this is a very strange, just like almost like Week 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 4: seventeen of the NFL, Like there's so many different kind 22 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 4: of game theory, narrative based things we gotta go over. 23 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 4: We will get to all of that. But we'll start 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 4: in Group B with one of the games of the week. 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 4: That's Porto there plus one eighty against Atletico Madrid, who 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 4: are plus one sixty on the road. 27 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 5: The draw is plus two to twenty five. 28 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 4: This is three pm kickoff on Tuesday, and Group B 29 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 4: sets up like this. Liverpool they're through five and oh 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 4: fifteen points. They won the group, but the other three 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 4: teams they can all advance through different results. Porto they're 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 4: kind of in the driver's seat right now with five points, 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 4: ac Milan at four and Atletico Madrid at four points two. 34 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 4: So basically this game for Atletico is a must win. 35 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: It is a must win, not basically, and Porto they 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 4: basically need to win too, because Milan is probably going 37 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 4: to be playing a pretty undermanned Liverpool team. 38 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 5: Is that stuff going into your handicap? How much does 39 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 5: it matter? 40 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 4: Do you think sometimes in situations like this there is 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 4: an overreaction and how are you playing this match? 42 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 3: Anthony Dubunda, Well, yeah, I think the most interesting thing 43 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: here is that, you know, we don't really have to 44 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: worry about motivation in this game necessarily because Porto they 45 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 3: both need to win and a win is good enough 46 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: most likely for Atletico and will be good enough for 47 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 3: Porto to go through here, whereas a draw could see 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: them both out. And that makes for a really fun 49 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 3: game state if it's late and you know both teams 50 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: are pushing for a goal and they both need it. 51 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: But I think really Porto's just been consistently undervalued in 52 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 3: the market the entire Champions League. I went back and looked, 53 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 3: I've bet them in every match except the last one, 54 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: and I've shown value on them in every match except 55 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: the last one, and so I still see them as 56 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 3: solid favorites here at home. I lety consistent overperformance of 57 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: expected goals over the years has kind of clouded our 58 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 3: judgment of them as this great, experienced knockout tournament team, 59 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: and that's why they're going to find a way to 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 3: win this game and go through. But when you look 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: at the last few years, really hasn't been the case. 62 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 3: They got got blown out by Chelsea, choked against RBI 63 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: Leipzig last year. They have not been good in this 64 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: Champions League. They have four points. Three of them came 65 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 3: after they were down a goal against Milan and got 66 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: a red card and a penalty to win it, and 67 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: then The other one came against Porto at home when 68 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 3: they were outplayed, had point three expected goals and there 69 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 3: was a very controversial Vart decision that vardoff the only 70 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: goal for Porto that would have won the match and 71 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: really rendered this one irrelevant. So when you look across 72 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 3: the board in terms of box entry, shots, attacking areas, 73 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: touch is, they're very similar across the board, and they're 74 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: five matches in the Champions League. But Porto's at home here, 75 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: so I like them. I think they're more likely to 76 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: win it than not. So give you Portou Drawno bet. 77 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, and BJA, I know your projections show a little 78 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: bit of value on the under here, but is this 79 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: a situation maybe like if there is a goal early, 80 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: are you going to be betting into then? Baby looking 81 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 4: for a live under as well, because people will overreact 82 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: to the fact that, let's say Porto goes at one nothing, 83 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: Now Madrid's got to score two goals to even have 84 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 4: a chance to advance. 85 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 5: But scoring is very hard at soccer, and scoring is. 86 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 4: Very hard against defense like this, So set up the 87 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 4: under talk a little bit about some live bending strategy 88 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: in these kind of games as well. 89 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, so really, if whoever goes up first in this one, 90 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: they basically can just sit on that one serial lyait. Basically, 91 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: both these teams are built with their four to four 92 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: type two structures, can really see a game out defensively. 93 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: That's how they're set up, That's how they're built. Porto 94 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: really should have beat Athletic im matriated the last time 95 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: they played. They want on expected goals one point six 96 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: to around point four. They created a couple of big chances, 97 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: but you know, if you go back and look at 98 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: the box score from that, there are only eleven total 99 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: shots in that match, and not very many of them 100 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: hit on target. Porto is an elite defensive team. They're 101 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: only allowing point six expected goals if you take away 102 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: the two matches against Liverpool, if you you know, domestically 103 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: and the Champions League. On the flip side, Diego Simioni 104 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: has kind of messed around with some different tactics. He's 105 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: gone to more of a three one four to two 106 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,119 Speaker 1: formation this season. In La Liga, Athletico is only allowing 107 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: point eight three expected goals per ninety minutes when playing 108 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: out of it. They're still first in shots allowed per 109 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: ninety box entries allowed and crosses complete in their own 110 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: penalty right in La Liga. So if either one of 111 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: these teams scores first, they can basically just sit on 112 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: this lead, see it out and they'll have second place 113 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: in this group. So it is kind of juicy under 114 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: two and a half at minus one thirty five. I 115 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: would play that pre game, but depending on how far 116 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: this match goes out. If somebody scores right away, I 117 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: will definitely plan under. But if we drag this out 118 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: match out any longer, the odds are going to get 119 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: out of at a reach. So I would like to 120 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: play at pregame under two and a half of minus 121 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: one thirty five, but if there is a goal early, 122 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be an auto underplay for me. 123 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 4: The other game in this group features AC Milan as 124 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: a plus one twenty home favorite against Liverpool who or 125 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 4: plus two twenty five. The draw is plus two sixty. 126 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 4: Like I said, Milan needs to win to have a 127 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 4: chance to advance. Really, Liverpool, if they wanted to dress 128 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 4: their U sixteen team, they could do that. 129 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 5: They have nothing to play for here. 130 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 4: Interestingly, in terms of the futures market, AC Milan is 131 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: sitting at one hundred and thirty to one to win 132 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: Champions League. 133 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 5: Atletico Madrid is fifty to one. So it just kind of. 134 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: Shows if you are paying attention to county scenarios you 135 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 4: can find some value. You look, ac Milan's not going 136 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 4: to win the Champions League, but they should basically be 137 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 4: on par with Atletico Madrid. So just something to keep 138 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: in mind as we do reset towards the round of sixteen, 139 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 4: that you can find some teams for no reason whatsoever 140 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 4: at triple the price of another one that should be 141 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 4: on level playing field with them. 142 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 5: That being said, I don't know. 143 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 4: How you could play Liverpool on this one, especially right 144 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 4: now like we're recording this on Sunday. We don't know 145 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: what's going to happen in terms of a lineup. They're 146 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 4: well in it in terms of their Premier League aspirations, 147 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 4: so I don't think Jurgen Klopp is going to do 148 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 4: anything to jeopardize either the Premier League nor the Champions 149 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 4: League by tressing a really really strong eleven. So I 150 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 4: think it's Malan or nothing here, Anthony. Last time we 151 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: talked like there was nothing on the table for Liverpool, 152 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 4: you still kind of like them at the price. 153 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 5: Is that the case here again? 154 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: Yeah? 155 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: I certainly lean that way. Liverpool's win against Porto was 156 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 3: a bit misleading when you look at the expected goals chances. 157 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 3: Porto missed a couple of big chances Liverpool took theirs. 158 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: But Liverpool also still started Saudi Amana and most Sola 159 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: in that game, and if the two of them are 160 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: in the game, they have way more attacking talent than 161 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 3: Milan does. Milan's also got a ton of injuries piling 162 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 3: up Davie Calabria, Simoon and Kierre, who's out for the 163 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: year now. Anti Rabitch is out, Lyvier Deroux is out, 164 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: Pietro Pilagri is out, So they're out a lot of 165 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 3: attackers and defenders and that's a pretty concerning situation going 166 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: up against Liverpool here. But I think Klopp may rotate 167 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: his attackers even more here because two or three weeks 168 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: ago Liverpool was in a different situation domestically where they 169 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: were only playing one game a week. We're getting very 170 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: close now to the Festive period where they're going to 171 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: have three four games and two week period in the 172 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: prem which is obviously a much more important competition for 173 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: them at the current moment, given that they've already qualified 174 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: and that they're in a title race, a three way 175 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 3: title race. Milan's also been worse than their point total 176 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: suggests terrible attacking numbers against Porteau n at Letti, but 177 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: you could make an argument that they'd played better in 178 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: a more open game against Liverpool, and Liverpool played pretty 179 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: open against Porteou and when they've had nothing on the 180 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: line in the past have been very open at the back. 181 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: So I think this could be a back and forth 182 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: kind of game, but definitely at the price it's got 183 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: to be Liverpool pass. 184 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: Moving on to Group A, this one straight forward City 185 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 4: twelve points. They won the group of ready PSG on 186 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 4: eight points they're three as well Leipzig and Bruges they're 187 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 4: both at four points. Winner or whoever gets a result 188 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 4: basically out of their two respective matches will get a 189 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 4: spot in the Europa League, which does carry some weight 190 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 4: for both of these clubs given their situations right now. 191 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 4: We'll start with PSG their minus three ten hosting Bruges, 192 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 4: who are eight to one on the money line. 193 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 5: The draws five to one. 194 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 4: This group's kicking off twelve forty five pm. I think 195 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 4: it's Bruges or nothing, just because we'll look at the lineup, 196 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 4: same as you were talking about with Liverpool. You got 197 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: to take a look to see who PSG plays. So 198 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 4: we know this PSG team does have plenty of flaws, 199 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: especially defensively and the fact that they're playing ten on 200 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: seven when they are defending. So I think Bruges is 201 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 4: worth a look at the big big number here because 202 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 4: of the situation that PSG is in. But I'm going 203 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 4: to see the lineup for the Parisians before I enact 204 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: on it, BIJA. Is that kind of how you're looking 205 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 4: for this one? These two matches I think are really 206 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 4: complicated to sort through just because of the stakes that play. 207 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 4: Plus the two teams that have nothing to play for 208 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 4: are just so damp talented. 209 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: Right, And that's the thing is that this match needs 210 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to PSG, so you really question how much 211 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: they're going to care about it. But then you go 212 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: look at their domestic campaign and they're top of the 213 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: league un by a ton of points, so it's like, Okay, 214 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: which one are they going to take? Seriously, we don't 215 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: really know. I am leaning towards taking Bruges plus one 216 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: and a half, which scares the hell out of me 217 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: right now because of how bad they've been defensively their 218 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: last three Champions League matches, but in that first meeting 219 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: against PSG, they did deservingly get a one to one draw. 220 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: They won the expected goals a bat all one point 221 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: four to one point two. They have given up a 222 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: total of fifteen point four expected goals and five Champions 223 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: League matches. But what happens a lot with Bruges and 224 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: a lot of other smaller sides is that if their 225 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: opponent scores first and they have to come out of 226 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: whatever type of defensive structure they are in, it's a 227 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: nightmare for them trying to play an open game with Harby, Leipzig, 228 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: Man City and PSG because they just can't do that. 229 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: I do think that there is a shot that with PSG, 230 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, may mars out obviously, but Inbape and MESSI 231 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: not really defending if they even play in this one, 232 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: there is a chance that Bruges may sit defensively and 233 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: just try and hit him on the counter. With that 234 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: being said, they do have to try and go win 235 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: this one PSG. I mean we've we've said it every 236 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: single week minus one point nine expecting gold differential in 237 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: the Champions League, which is just terrible. This is their 238 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: sixth match in eighteen days. You could see some squad rotation. 239 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: You could see some of the backups in no nymar 240 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: No and Herrera, no Draxler. So I only have PSG 241 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: projected at minus one seventy four, so I'll take Bruce 242 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: plus one and a half at even money. But again, 243 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: like you said, kind of got to wait and see 244 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: how matchups or lineups come out. Might want to play 245 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: it early if there's some rumors that PSG might be 246 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: sitting guys. But at the time of taking this will 247 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: take Bruce plus one and a half at even money. 248 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 3: We both cashed a little PSG fade again at the 249 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: weekend against Lens. Shout out the Lens that draw. They 250 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 3: got absolute cash cop. But it seems like the market's 251 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 3: catching up. If we go back to the beginning of 252 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 3: the season when these two teams played at Bruges, PSG 253 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: was minus one and a half on the road and 254 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: both teams to score is about minus one to five. Well, 255 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: now at home PSG minus one and a half, both 256 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 3: teams to score minus one fifty. So it seems like 257 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 3: the market's catching up to PSG not being quite as good. 258 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: As we think, and not quite as good as maybe 259 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 3: the public thinks. We've been kind of anti PSG for 260 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: a while. Here there's also a good messy res spot. 261 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: He's played a lot of minutes. He's coming back from 262 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 3: that stomach issue that he had good spot here for 263 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 3: him to maybe not play. I do expect himope to play, 264 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 3: so I'm going to pass here. I think it's a 265 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: good get right spot for PSG at home, but again, 266 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 3: can't trust them the one. Maybe look here, you know, 267 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: we get to like the twenty thirtieth minute. Maybe the 268 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 3: other games aren't particularly exciting. You can get in on 269 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: some live both teams to score, because I do think 270 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: Bruges will get on the board here. I just don't 271 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 3: want to lay minus one fifty. I think we'll get 272 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: a better price live if they don't grab an early goal. 273 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: But other than that, I'm going to stay away from 274 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: this one and probably stay away from our next match 275 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: that we're going to talk about too. 276 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, Leipzig. 277 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 4: They're plus two forty five home underdogs against Manchester City 278 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: plus one oh five the draws plus two eighty five. 279 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 4: Like I said, this is twelve forty five pm kickoffs 280 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: on Tuesday, Leipzig just sacked manager, American manager Jesse Marsh. 281 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 4: They need this win, I think right like they're gonna 282 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: have a new manager coming in. They're gonna want to 283 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 4: salvage something from the season in terms of their European aspirations, 284 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 4: so a trip to Europa League has some weight for 285 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: this club. It's just so hard to bet against the 286 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 4: city team without knowing what they're gonna do. I mean, 287 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: I'm assuming Pep is going to play his B squad, 288 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 4: but the Man City B squad, in all likelihood, is 289 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 4: probably better than the RB Leipzig A squad. So it's 290 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 4: for me, it's Leipzig or nothing. But in all likelihood 291 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 4: I'll be passing on this one. I'm much more interested. 292 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 4: And if I had to choose between these two matches 293 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 4: a bet to make, it would be Bruish eight to 294 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 4: one over Leipzig plus two forty five BJ. Do you 295 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 4: see any value in Leipzig versus City. 296 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: No, I mean, purely from a projection standpoint, I have 297 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: City projected at minus one twenty five. But taking the 298 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: mote of level that this match doesn't matter the city. 299 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: They're playing Wolves this weekend, which is going to be 300 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: a pretty big match for them in the Premier League, 301 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: given title race that we have going on right there. 302 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: So I do think this is a pass, you know, 303 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: new manager bump for Arbilip Sigma man they have so 304 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: many defensive issues right now. In that last match against 305 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: Manchester City, the first time they met boy City just 306 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: torched them left and right and just down the wings, 307 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: down the center. It was terrible. So for me, it's 308 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: a pass. It's hard to put, you know, a numerical 309 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: value on motivation for teams like this, and especially when 310 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: you know they've already won the group. So it's a 311 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: pass for me. But I hope barbieleip seguins. 312 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 3: What is the City rotated squad? Because they have like 313 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: seven very good attackers and they play three or four 314 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 3: of them, So like they could rotate half the team 315 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 3: and still be putting out a team and finish in 316 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: the top four in the Premier League. 317 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 4: And we're here handicapping motivation. And then you think about 318 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 4: those guys that are coming in right there, they want 319 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 4: to play exact factly, so it is it is there, 320 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 4: Like I was saying, right off the top, a lot 321 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 4: of times when you take into fact these motivational handicap angles. 322 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 4: You do have to vn wait counter argument, And a 323 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 4: lot of times bookmakers are smart, right, they know what 324 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 4: they're doing and they know what we're thinking. 325 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think over three is like minus one 326 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: twenty five here I'm looking at. It's gonna be a 327 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 3: very popular trendy pick. You're gonna see a lot of 328 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: people say, oh, Leipsu can't defend. Oh city has been 329 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 3: giving up goals in Europe. I only have two point 330 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: nine to six projected. If I play to anything, it 331 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 3: might be like a live under if there's an early goal. 332 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: But again, you know the City games at the end 333 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 3: of last season two, once nothing was on the line, 334 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, there were goals galore in their 335 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: games when they especially when they played the reserve defenders, 336 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 3: like if Kyle Walker doesn't play, he's very good over 337 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: the top sweeping kind of up messages that the City 338 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: highline tends to allow. But it's really hard to like 339 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: you mentioned, it's hard to handicap. You know what City's 340 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: situation is going to be here. But I think over 341 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: three is gonna be a very popular pick. But it's 342 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: not one that I'm gonna be making because it seems 343 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: a little expensive. 344 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you could also see a situation where, like 345 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, our we likes and could get caught scoreboard watching. 346 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: If Bruze just starts getting you know, obliterated by PSG 347 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: and they see that, we can see them shut it 348 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: down and just say, hey, you know what, we've got 349 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: third place locked up. 350 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 3: So well, and the only way Leipzig doesn't get third 351 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 3: is if they lose and Bruises wins. 352 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I believe. So you could see them just 353 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: sit back and just say, you know what, we're fine 354 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: with the draw, we got third place, We're going to 355 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: the Europa League and just move on. Plus, you know 356 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: it is a new manager, so typically you know, new 357 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: interim managers like to set up a little more defensive 358 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: and don't play as aggressive as you know, normal managers 359 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: who have a secure job. So yeah, it's it's definitely 360 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: this one's definitely a pass for me. 361 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 4: A little more straightforward. In the next match, we'll discuss. 362 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: That's Real Madrid at home. They're plus one ten inter 363 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 4: Milan traveling to the Burnabout there, plus two to fifty 364 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 4: five the draws plus two forty five three pm kickoff 365 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 4: Eastern time. Real Madrid is the top of Group D 366 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 4: at twelve points, Enters at ten. They're both through if 367 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 4: there is a winner of this match. That winner wins 368 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 4: this group. Sheriff is at six points shock Tars at once, 369 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 4: so they're both out, with Sheriff automatically already qualifying for 370 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 4: the Reropa League. This is an interesting match because finishing 371 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 4: first in a group is a big deal. Right, You're 372 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: going to avoid a possible chance to play man City, 373 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 4: your possible chance to play Liverpool. I ax, you know, 374 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 4: these are really dangerous teams in the round of sixteen. 375 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 4: So I think both teams will This is you know, 376 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 4: seems obvious, but they will both play their strongest eleven 377 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 4: if they can, barring injuries. And I think that this 378 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 4: match sets up pretty well for Inter Milan. We've been 379 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 4: going against Real Madrid. It's not been working at all. 380 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 4: We did it again over the weekend, or at least 381 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 4: I did. It didn't work. But look, this is a 382 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 4: team that is overperforming. They are built to overperform their metrics. 383 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: I think with you know, Kreem Benzema and Vinnie Junior like, 384 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 4: these are really really skilled individuals. But at some point 385 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 4: it's going to catch up to them and I'll back 386 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 4: in through here. I like the money line, hoping maybe 387 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: it does tick up a little bit with Madrid at home, 388 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 4: but that's where I'm going to be looking towards. 389 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 5: It's into or nothing for me, Anthony, what about you? 390 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just read it off like, if you finish second, 391 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 3: your potential opponents are Chelsea, Man City, I X Bayern, Liverpool, 392 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: Man United and whoever wins that other group that we 393 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: haven't decided yet. If you get first, your opponents are 394 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: at Alanta, Juventus, Sporting Barcelona slash Benfica, Milan, Porto, at Letti. 395 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 3: I mean, the quality of those teams does not even 396 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 3: compare to the quality of those first teams. And we 397 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 3: saw last week when Chelsea played Juventus they absolutely wanted 398 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: multiple goals because they knew they needed multiple goals to 399 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 3: win that group. So I'm expecting a full go here. 400 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 3: But one person who will not be a full go 401 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 3: is kind of Benzema. He went off early against Sociadad 402 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 3: didn't matter they won anyway, but he will be out 403 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 3: for this game. And Madrid has their derby on Saturday 404 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: against at Letti as a look ahead, whereas Inter has 405 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 3: a huge tilt home match against Calgulary. Not quite so 406 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 3: expecting Inter here marginally better across all five games in 407 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 3: the group. They were better in the first leg and 408 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 3: the one thing here, they're in much better league form 409 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: in terms of performances when you look at how much 410 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 3: Inter has been dominating Siria. If you read what I 411 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 3: wrote a couple weeks ago, still time to get in 412 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: an Inter to win the league because they are going 413 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 3: to win the league. But given the Real also only 414 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 3: needs a point here, I like the plus a half 415 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 3: on inter Milan at minus one thirty. If it's tied late, 416 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: Real will take the point though take the group, whereas 417 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 3: I also think Inter has an edge here in my 418 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 3: numbers make it much closer to a pick them than 419 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 3: it currently is, and so I like inter Milan here. 420 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: You know you mentioned the game theory thing, whereas Real 421 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: Madrid only really only needs to draw to win the group. 422 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: But we've seen with Real Madrid this year on Ancelotti 423 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: they are not like Real Madrid teams pass like under 424 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: Zon who had that defensive type structure, who could see 425 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: a game out zero zero like that defensively, There's no 426 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: way they could do that, right, now, so without Venzema, 427 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: it's kind of you know, I question, if Real Madrid 428 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: does come out defensively, can they actually stop Inter. I 429 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: mean interns averaging two point three expected goles for match 430 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: in Syria. They're an offensive juggernaut right now, and then 431 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: Champions League play they've created eleven point two expected goals 432 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: in they're five matches, so they Inter really should have 433 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: won the first match they want to unexpected goals two 434 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: to one point one. It was just eighty ninth Frodrigo 435 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: goal with the difference. But man, I have a hard 436 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: time seeing how Real Madrid, even if they do set 437 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: up defensively, is going to stop Inter. And like Anthony mentioned, 438 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: if they only need to draw, we could see without 439 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: Kream Benzema and then really parked the bus in front 440 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: of the eighteen yard box. So I agree with Anthony 441 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: Ill like answered plus half a goal last one thirty Yeah. 442 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 3: You know, if it's one one late and there's going 443 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: to be the one going for the goal, not necessarily 444 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 3: Real and I think that helps us here situation. Normally, 445 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 3: you'd expect both teams to be going for the win. 446 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 3: In this case, only one side will be and that's 447 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 3: why I think that draw production helps quite a bit. 448 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 4: All right, real quick, we'll talk about the other one 449 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 4: in this group, and it's very ugly. The Degenerate Special 450 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 4: Shocktars minus one eighty five at home against Sheriff Tiras Ball. 451 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 4: We're five to one on the money line. The draws 452 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 4: plus three forty. This is three pm kickoff. Sheriff is 453 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 4: automatically in Europa League, which is a huge accomplishment for 454 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 4: this team from the disputed territory of Transnistria in Meldova. 455 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 4: They were not expected to do anything, and they weren't 456 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 4: expected to be in the group stage of the Champions League, 457 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: and they got here and now they're into Europa League. 458 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 5: So good for them. 459 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 4: But I mean for me, it's there's no motivation for 460 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 4: either side here. I would say if you if you 461 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 4: put a gun to my head, it would be Sheriff 462 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 4: at five to one or nothing. But I really don't 463 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: think we need to go too far into this one. 464 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 5: BJ. You do have a point to make. 465 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: That I have a weather update, is what I have. 466 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: It's going to be it's going to be snowing a 467 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: lot in this in this game. I just checked it 468 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: in and keV it's going to be you know, one 469 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: to three inches, so that could potentially play into you know, 470 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: the total or something like that. But I mean we've 471 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: seen it from Sheriff in this Champions League. They love 472 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: to just sit deep and just try to hit people 473 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: on the counter, and they haven't really provided much going 474 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: forward offensively. You know, they've only created three point four 475 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: expected goals, So there could be a situation we obviously, 476 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to handicap motivation. I don't know 477 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: where shocktar is at. I don't know if it's actually 478 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: gonna want to try and win this game, or if 479 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: they say, you know what, who cares, We're already out 480 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: and just give it up. So I could potentially be 481 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: looking at an under three goals. But right now it's 482 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: just a pass for me. But if you want to 483 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: watch a snow game, that's the game for you. 484 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 3: Snowver's not quite effective in soccer like they are in 485 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 3: foot down. No, not really, but still fun to watch. 486 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a funny thing. 487 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 4: It is fun to watch players try to I mean, 488 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 4: they're just so cold all the time. Group see who 489 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 4: we all love, We all have futures on from the 490 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 4: beginning Anthony jumped in a little late, but we won't 491 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 4: get on him for that. They topped the group fifteen points, 492 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 4: already done and Dusted's Sporting They're through on nine points, 493 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 4: done and dusted. Dortmund into Europa League at six points, 494 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 4: also done and dusted, and Bashka's and they'll be going home. 495 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 4: No more European football for them. Already done and dusted. 496 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 4: I AX minus two hundred against Sporting in the Netherlands. 497 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 4: Lisbon is plus five fifty on the road. That Druss 498 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 4: plus thirty seventy. This is three pm kickoff. One thing 499 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 4: I do want to touch on iaks twenty to one 500 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 4: right now in the futures market through like I said, 501 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 4: and Sporting is two hundred to one. So look both 502 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 4: these teams already into the round of sixteen, and you 503 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 4: just see the disparity. Not like, yeah, IX is a 504 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 4: much much better team this morning, but like we were 505 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 4: talking about before, finishing second in a group, your pathage 506 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 4: is so much harder that they are ten times the 507 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 4: price of IAX, and I think coming into the tournament 508 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 4: you would have said the margin probably wasn't so wide 509 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 4: between these teams. Obviously, i Axes showed a lot better 510 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 4: than expected. Sporting too, by the way, they've been impressive, 511 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 4: But that just goes to show you how difficult the 512 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 4: task is going to be for teams that to finish 513 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 4: second in the group with the way that draws set up. 514 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 4: I've got nothing in this one, Anthony. Do you have 515 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 4: anything you want to mention about either one of these teams? 516 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I X does have a little bit 517 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 3: of defensive regression coming and they don't really have a 518 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 3: reason to play here. They only conceded twice in the 519 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 3: group stage so far, or three times, excuse me. Then 520 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: in the group stge so far two were penalties to 521 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: both Bashitas and Dortmann, and then they conceded a wonder 522 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 3: goal two Sporting in the first leg. But they have 523 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 3: a lot five point three expected goals, so I think 524 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 3: they've been a little bit lucky, especially in those Dortmund games, 525 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 3: and that probably will come back down to earth here. 526 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 3: But when you look at both teams to score, it's 527 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 3: pretty expensive. Similar to the PSG game, I think if 528 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 3: you're looking to play anything in this game, you want 529 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 3: to look towards a both team to score or maybe 530 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: a Sporting team total over if you're twenty thirty minutes 531 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: in and there still hasn't been a goal. I think 532 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: that's a good spot to get in on Sporting because 533 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 3: I do think they have a good chance to score 534 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 3: here in a game that i X doesn't really need. 535 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of like the unter. I mean, this 536 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: match means nothing to either team because you know, Sporting 537 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: obviously has the tiebreaker over Dortmund, so they've secured second 538 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: place in the motivation level for either team. You know, 539 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: i AX in that match against basheita US, you know, 540 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: it's clear when it came out from the beginning that 541 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: they didn't look like they were really up for it 542 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: and really cared that much. You know, Mashida scored early, 543 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: which kind of put the match on its head. But 544 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: obviously i X just thrashed Sporting five to one the 545 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: first time they played. But Sporting is a much better 546 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: defensive team than they showed in that match. They're only 547 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: allowed nine point five expected goals in thirteen domestic matches 548 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: in Portugal this season. If you throw off that match 549 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: against DIAX, they've only allowed around four expected goals in 550 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: Champions League play, with this match meeting nothing. I do 551 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: think that a situation like this when we see Iax's offense, 552 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: and we see obviously Sporting's numbers, which a lot of 553 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: that has been put up against Pashita s, we kind 554 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: of overlook how good both these teams defensively are. I 555 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: as I understand that they're overperforming a little bit in 556 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: the Champions League, but domestically they've only they're only allowing 557 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, around point five expected goals in the area 558 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: to Visa, and you know they domestically they are only 559 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: one point up on Fine Nord. So they have to 560 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: take a match against Azy Alkamar very very seriously this weekend. 561 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be surprised if Holler's on the bench, 562 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: if Anthony's on the bench, maybe Tatach is on the bench. 563 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: So this may be a wait and see type situation 564 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: when the lineups come out, because it really wouldn't surprise 565 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: me if they say we're going to rest these guys 566 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: and we're going to focus on their devise building a 567 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: lead there. So I actually like under three goals at 568 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: minus one ten, I only have around two point five 569 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: goals projected for this one, So I do think this 570 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: situation where without much motivation, it's hard for me to 571 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: kind of see how much these teams will actually care 572 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: with two very good defensive sides, so under three goals 573 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: minus one ten for me, and. 574 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 4: It's kind of the opposite for you. In the next one, 575 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 4: which is Dortmund. They're minus three fifty heavy favorites against 576 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 4: Rashika's who are nine to one. The draw us five 577 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 4: to one. It's a three pm kickoff as well on Tuesday. 578 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 4: Like you said, Dortmunt, they're already three to Europa League. 579 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 4: Mashikka's got nothing to play for. I think, like, if 580 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 4: you have to choose a money line here. 581 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 5: It's Bashika's or nothing. 582 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 4: But I'm going to pass most likely just because you 583 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 4: are expecting a very thin Dortmund team, whereas like a 584 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 4: win for Brashikah, yeah it doesn't mean anything, right, but a 585 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 4: win in Dortmund it's, you know, still something like a 586 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 4: feather in the cap kind of thing for a Turkish 587 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 4: Super League team. But you jo you're protecting maybe a 588 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 4: back and forth one here. 589 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: Huh yeah, God bless Bashita's. I mean, they're so so 590 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: bad defensively and are trying to play open games with 591 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: teams like Dormant and IX and even Sporting and boy, 592 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: it is just not working. They've allowed sixteen point six 593 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: expected goals in five matches, which is the most of 594 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: anybody in the Champions League. Against Dortmann the last time 595 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: they played them, they were pretty good in the second 596 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: half and towards the end. Maybe could have gotten a 597 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: draw at the end, but Dortman still created two point 598 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: five expected goals, had forty touches in Bashita's penalty area 599 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: and twenty seven shot creating actions. And you know who 600 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: knows if it Erlin Hollin's going to play. You know 601 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: this is probably a wait and see type situation. If 602 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: I were to play it right now, I do like 603 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: over three and a half goals at even money. But 604 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: I am going to wait and see what lineup Dorman 605 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: put out there, because if Holland is not in that 606 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: is huge because with Holland in the lineup this season, 607 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: Dorman is averaging two point one three expected goals for match, 608 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: without him around only one point seven. Like I said, 609 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: Bashita's God bless them. They love to play these type 610 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: of open games. Just gave up three expected goals to 611 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: IAX in a match that ias It meant absolutely nothing 612 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: to IAX, So I do like over three and a 613 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: half goals and even money. I do want to wait 614 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: though for lineups and make sure that Hollin's in there, 615 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: because he's obviously huge for dormant offensively. 616 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 4: All right, let's say onsday we'll start with a really 617 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 4: intriguing matchup Byron Munich their minus won forty home favorites 618 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 4: against Barcelona plus three thirty on the road, the draws 619 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 4: plus three fifty. This is a three pm kickoff on Wednesday. 620 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 5: Group E sets up like this. 621 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 4: Byron there through and have won the group with fifteen points. 622 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 4: Barcelona they're on seven points, Benfica at five points, and 623 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 4: Dinamo they're out of any sort of European competition at one. 624 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 5: But Barcelona they need to win this game. They need 625 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 5: to win this game to. 626 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 4: Get through, because you'd imagine that Benfica, who are minus 627 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 4: three twenty favorites against Dinamo, will take care of business 628 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 4: and if they win and Barcelona, I mean they can 629 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 4: maybe pass through with the draw. But it's going to 630 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 4: be a win or a lot of trouble for Barcelona, 631 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 4: who are coming off another unlucky loss over the weekend. 632 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 4: They won on next year, then lost but lost to one. 633 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 4: I believe to real bettis they have a plus eight 634 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 4: point two expect to go differential from open play in 635 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 4: La Liga. They deserve to be much higher up in 636 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 4: the table than they actually are. And you just wonder 637 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 4: if the motivation for Byron is let's just knock this 638 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 4: team out, right, like, let's just knock Barcelona out of 639 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 4: the Champions League. That's always fun to do. But I 640 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: do think that I'll wait for the lineups on Bayern Munich, 641 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 4: see what they're they're gonna be cooking with on Wednesday afternoon. 642 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 4: But I would go to Barcelona or nothing here. But 643 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 4: like I said, I'm definitely gonna wait for the lineups here, Anthony, 644 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 4: what about you? 645 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 3: You know, Barcelona broke my heart in the last match. 646 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 3: They had a chance to cash that the ticket for 647 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 3: me to go through, and they had a goal disallowed, 648 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 3: missed a bunch of chances, almost lost in the final seconds, 649 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 3: Harry Seferovich missing a sitter that would have knocked Barcelona 650 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 3: out for all, you know, all competitive purposes. I'm not 651 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 3: sure I think I agree with you and what you 652 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 3: said about Byron. They have a chance to knock out 653 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: Barcelona from the competition. They know that Chavi will probably 654 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 3: have them playing better as they get you know, more 655 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 3: or time under him, even though their squad's nowhere near 656 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 3: the talent level needed. So I expect some minor changes 657 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 3: from from Byron. But I also know that Lewandowski is 658 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 3: trying to win a golden boot in the Champions League 659 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 3: here he's currently got one a one goal edge over 660 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 3: Sebastian Halaire. I know that Byron when they rotate, it's 661 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 3: kind of like City where like, okay, yeah, we're gonna 662 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 3: sit Gabri and we're gonna sit come on. So instead, 663 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 3: you know, we're gonna play Jimal Lucilla, or we're gonna 664 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 3: play you know, Alfonse instead of Alfonso Davies. We're gonna 665 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 3: play Lucas Hernandez at left back. And so there's a 666 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 3: lot of options that Byron has. They can rotate their 667 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 3: squad and still play out a great lineup. Kimmick will 668 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 3: not play, and I was pretty concerned about how open 669 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 3: Byron looked against Dortmund. I was not particularly impressed by 670 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: their performance in that game. I felt Dortmund's mistakes led 671 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 3: to goals more than Byron's good play. Right now, it's 672 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 3: a pass I lean towards Byron at the number just 673 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 3: because you know, betting Byron against Barcelona has been a 674 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: very profitable venture for me and the last two years. 675 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 3: And I think, you know, stylistically, it's a terrible matchup 676 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 3: for Barcelona if Byron's all in. But right now it's 677 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 3: a pass. But I'll be I'll be waiting on some 678 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 3: team news, Gonna be watching novelsmen closely over the next 679 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 3: couple of days, trying to figure out if he tips 680 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 3: his hand on what his lineup's going to be. But 681 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 3: if it's a full go team, how do you not 682 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 3: play Byron and one minus one thirty five at home 683 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 3: minus one forty? 684 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 5: Yeah? 685 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 4: And then, like I said, the next match is really 686 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 4: funny because it's just funny to see benficaz at minus 687 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 4: three twenty favorite is what I'm trying to say against 688 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 4: any team maybe outside of like the Sheriff, And I 689 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,479 Speaker 4: know Dinamo has been bad, but still this number is 690 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 4: highly inflated because of the stakes, right Benfica a win 691 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 4: and a Byron loss or draw depending on the gold 692 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 4: differential sees. 693 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 5: Them through Dinamo? Do they really want it? 694 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: Like? 695 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 5: Does it matter to play spoilers in the spot? You know? 696 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 5: I don't think so. For it's different for these kind 697 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 5: of teams. 698 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 4: I think like this isn't going to Dortmund, or it's 699 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 4: not going to i As and spoiling something. This is 700 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 4: going to Benfica. It's a little different. Maybe that's getting 701 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 4: too deep into it, but like I said, Benfica huge 702 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 4: favorites Dinamo. They're nearly ten to one on the money 703 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 4: lin they're play signed fifty the draws plus four fifty. 704 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 4: This is a three pm kickoff as well. Bj Do 705 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 4: you think that this number is just. 706 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 5: Like completely out of whack because of the motivation here. 707 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's definitely out of whack. But the 708 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: problem is, you know, if you've watched Demolk playing the 709 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: Champions League, it's they're Offensively, they're really bad. They can't 710 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: provide anything going on forward. They only have three point 711 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: five expected goals in five matches. But defensively they've actually 712 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: been pretty good. And you know, from the beginning at 713 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: least in the Ukrainian Premier League this year, they're only 714 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: longing around point six expected goals per match. It's a 715 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: very well organized side. Again, they just can't do much offensively, 716 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: but their last two matches against Barcelona and Byron Munich 717 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: they only allowed one point one to eight expected goals 718 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: to Byron and only point nine to three to Barcelona, 719 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: And I understand Byron had nothing to play for, but 720 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: that's still one of these bottom of the league sides. 721 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: That's still very very impressive. So again similar to Shaktar, 722 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, when you have a last place team where 723 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: the match means absolutely nothing, you question how much does 724 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: it mean to them? Are they actually going to set 725 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: up in that type of defensive structure or are they 726 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: just going to say, who cares, let's play open, let's 727 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: actually try to score, you know, do something offensively. So 728 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: it's a path for me. I lean Dinamo Kiev, but 729 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: you know, again it's very hard for me to get 730 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: behind them with how bad their offense has been and 731 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: without knowing what type of lineup and what type of 732 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: style play they're going to come out in. 733 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to see where this number goes, right, 734 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 5: can higher? That is three twenty? Like, I really want 735 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 5: to see where it. 736 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 4: Goes because if it does, like if if we're seeing 737 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 4: Dinamo out there at like eleven to one, good god, 738 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 4: you know I'm not, Yeah, you look away from. 739 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, if we can get Denmo at plus two 740 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: and a half. I mean I might, I. 741 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 3: Would take the plus two. 742 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it could get higher. I mean we've 743 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: seen with these Champions League, especially with people buying a 744 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: motivation a lot, and you know, so these lines move 745 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: very very quickly, and a lot pretty much only towards 746 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: the teams that have something to play for. So yeah, 747 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: it's it's Dinamo or nothing here. 748 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 3: We're not going to get it to in the end. 749 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 3: But you know, plus one and a half at plus money, 750 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 3: I'm in on Dinomo because the thing is here. Benfica 751 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 3: doesn't need to win by a lot. We'll do. 752 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 5: And so they're not a team that can. 753 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 3: They're not a team that's scored a ton domestically or 754 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,479 Speaker 3: you know, relatively domestically, or has looked great in attack 755 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 3: in this Champions League either. And so they've been very 756 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 3: good on the counter, but they have not been good. 757 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 3: You know, when they played the first leg of this match, 758 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 3: they had I think it was one point one expected goals. 759 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 3: They got a very controversial of our decision that went 760 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 3: their way in stoppage time or they would have lost. 761 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 3: And so you know, I don't really trust them to 762 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: get margin here, but I need a better number before 763 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 3: I happen. 764 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, especially with this, you know they 765 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 1: could get caught scoreboard watching and just see if you know, 766 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: if Byron's up on Barcelona and they're already up you know, 767 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: maybe one, if they're up one zero. They're a really 768 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: good defensive team, and they could just shut it down 769 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: and say, you know, whatev, you're not scoring anymore. We'll 770 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: take the one as a result and we'll move on 771 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: to this ground of sixteen. 772 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 3: Could have three Portuguese teams in the round of sixteen 773 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: of the Champions League and one their tea. 774 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know what that means is that the 775 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: French League is now going to be sixth anyway coefficients, 776 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: and Portugal is going to be five. 777 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 4: All right, let's scamper over to Group H or is 778 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 4: they like to say in England H. Chelsea is at 779 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 4: the top on twelve points, Juventus in second place on 780 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 4: twelve points. Zenit they're already through to the Europa League 781 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 4: at four points. 782 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 5: Malmo with one point. We'll look at the Chelsea match first. 783 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 4: There on the road at Zenit, who are plus five 784 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 4: hundred home underdogs Chelsea minus one ninety, the dross plus 785 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 4: three forty This is a twelve forty five pm kickoff. 786 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 5: Chelsea does need to win. 787 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,479 Speaker 4: To advance, and they are big favorites. There's really no 788 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 4: reason why they shouldn't. I'm expecting a big performance from 789 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 4: Chelsea here. They've they've wobbled a little bit in domestically, 790 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 4: so this could be a boat race. But of course 791 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 4: going to Russia in the winter is not going to 792 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 4: be fun. And I'm pretty sure Bjay has some boots 793 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 4: on the ground with some weather reports for us. 794 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's negative too in Saint Petersburg right now and 795 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: it's going to be like maybe two or three degrees 796 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: by match time. You know, obviously, you know it's an 797 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: English team going there, so they're used to colds. That's 798 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: not that big of a handicap. But you know, again, 799 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: this is a this is a motivation question right here 800 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: for Zenet. You know, they've already clinched third place, they're 801 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: going to the Europa League. Are they really going to care? 802 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's it's huge for you know, one 803 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: of these Russian teams to be an English team. I'm 804 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: sure they absolutely love that. Zenate is a very very 805 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: good defensive outfit. This this last match. They You know, 806 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: Chelsea only beat them one nothing when they played the 807 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: first time, but Zen it didn't really provide much going forward. 808 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to watch this line and I'm going to 809 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: watch it creep and if I can get zenit at 810 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: plus one and a half, I might have to pull 811 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: the trigger because Chelsea's dealing with some injuries right now, 812 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: because we've got Chilwell, Conte, Havevertz, Chilloba, possibly Marco Alonso 813 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: are all going to be out for this one. So 814 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: there's the potential I might be playing Zen at plus 815 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: one and a half, even though it doesn't really mean 816 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: anything to them in the frigid cold of Northern Russia. 817 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: So it's zenator nothing here. I think the. 818 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 4: Biggest favorites of this match week match week six or 819 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 4: Juventus there minus five fifty at home hosting Malmo out 820 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 4: of Sweden. They're fourteen to one. The draw is seven 821 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 4: to one another twelve forty five pm kickoff. I got 822 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 4: nothing to really say about this one. It's pretty straightforward, right, 823 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 4: like do you want to do? I? If I could 824 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 4: make a bet here, it would be probably backing Malmo 825 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,760 Speaker 4: to keep it close at like plus two BJ. I know, yeah, 826 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 4: you're looking that way as well. 827 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah we're not. Yeah, no, no, we might be. 828 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 3: I went to first out to Juventus today, pitched the shutout. 829 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 3: No shot for gen awhile at to enter in today 830 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 3: your shots for chief chanklesmen, that's where the shot is. 831 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: So this is this is an interesting one because I 832 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: think I mentioned this twice. But Malmo just their league 833 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: just finished this past weekend. They won. They were actually 834 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: tied on points with second place, and they won on 835 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 1: goal differential. So this is their last match of the year, 836 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: so it's basically all or nothing. They got nothing else 837 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: to play for, so it's you know, I mean, man, 838 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: they stink so bad. They're so bad offensively. And Uventus, 839 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, the first time they played, Malmo held up 840 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: for like the first thirty minutes. Then Chelsea scored and 841 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 1: it all. You know, I'll help it broke loose. But man, 842 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: if there's a chance, you know, if Malmo can get 843 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: to two and a half, maybe even three, you know, 844 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: given the fact that events has to win, I might 845 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,720 Speaker 1: be doing it. I might have to, because that's getting 846 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: a little crazy, you know, I mean, projection wise, I mean, 847 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 1: I only have uvent to surround me minus two fifty. 848 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: So this is obviously a motivation level type of game, 849 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: so this one could get a little crazy. You know, 850 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: five point thirty eight has events to eighty five percent. 851 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 3: So I'm a little concerned that you ventus, the Malmo 852 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 3: may already have their holidays booked. Yeah, you know, going 853 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 3: south for the winter. 854 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I can start there. You can start their 855 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: holiday early by going south to Terin, you to Turin, and. 856 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 4: Then you go down to southern Italy and then you 857 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 4: go from there. It's fine, we'll move on from Malmo. 858 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 4: I don't want to talk about Malmo. 859 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 5: This is the last episode we're going to probably have 860 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 5: to talk about them. So that's wonderful. Let's move on. 861 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 5: Group G. 862 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 4: This is probably the group of the tournament. Lil at 863 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 4: the top at eight points, Salzburg second seven points, sa 864 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 4: Via six points and third and Volfsburg get five points 865 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 4: at the foot. Everybody can make it. Everybody can be eliminated. 866 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 4: If you lose, you're eliminated. In the way that this 867 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 4: these two matches set up and Wolfsburg they are in a. 868 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 5: Precarious position of hosting LIL. 869 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 4: Wolfsburg is plus one twenty five at home in Germany. 870 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 5: LIL plus two thirty. 871 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 4: Five on the road, the draws plus two thirty five 872 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 4: as well three pm kickoff of Wolfsburg off of three 873 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 4: to nothing loss to Minds over the weekend, and they've 874 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 4: been bang average in the Bundesliga of this year. LIL, 875 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 4: on the other hand, their results are not great in 876 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 4: legand but their underlying metrics are terrific. I think you're 877 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 4: getting a really good number on LIL here, and I 878 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 4: know like LIL. 879 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 5: Only needs a point to advance. I believe so. Like 880 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 5: it's maybe they're set up. 881 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 4: The bookmakers are reading into that, which is why you're 882 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 4: looking at LIL and the draw being. 883 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 5: At the same price. 884 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 4: But I just think that the number here is too 885 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 4: good to go against a pretty mediocre side in Wolfsburg BJ. 886 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: What about you, Yeah, I like under two and a 887 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: half goals at minus one oh five. I've talked I 888 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: think I've talked about it like four or five different times. 889 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: I know people are like sick of hearing me just 890 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 1: talk about league on and over and over again and LIL, 891 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: But defensively this season they've allowed twenty four goals but 892 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: only can see fifteen point seven expectacles and even in 893 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: the Champions League they've all allowed four point nine expected 894 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: goals in five matches. In this match, it's really going 895 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: to set up perfect for them because lil plays out 896 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: of a very defensive four to four to two formation, 897 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: and a lot of times this season, for whatever reason, 898 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: they've gone down early and they've been forced to, you know, 899 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: basically get out of that, play more open, go more forward. Well, 900 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: now they're going to be in a situation where they 901 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: don't have to be the aggressors. They can pretty much 902 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 1: just sit back and potentially play for a draw because 903 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: if they watch the scoreboard, because if they look up 904 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: and they see that Sevilla is beating Salzburg, which we 905 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: all hope is happening, then that just guarantees in the 906 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: group with a draw because they have the time breaker 907 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: over Sevilla. So I think that this is a situation 908 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: where them playing so defensive against a Wolfsburg team that 909 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: has been really bad offensively in the Champions League, only 910 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: four point five expected goals created in five matches. Additionally, 911 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: the last time these two teams played, Wolfsburg only had 912 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: two shots and granted they did get a red card 913 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: in the sixty third minute, but only point one expected 914 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: goals and didn't do anything offensively against Little's defense. I 915 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: only have one point eight five goals projected for this one, 916 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: so I understand the motivation for Wolfsburg. They have to 917 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 1: go for this, they have to play open, but Little 918 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to do that, and they can sit 919 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: back and play per defensive and try to hit Wolfsburg 920 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: on the counter. So I like under two and a 921 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: half goals on that as one o five. 922 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is crazy. I mean, the first game they 923 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 3: played in France open two and a half minus one 924 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 3: point fifteen, closed one forty five. And I understand that 925 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 3: there is now motivational reason for this game to be 926 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 3: open sort of, but I don't see it. And it's 927 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 3: what PJ mentioned. Wolfsburg has not registered ten shots in 928 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 3: a Champions League game yet and they're not playing, you know, 929 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 3: these tip top defenses necessarily, you know, and especially even 930 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 3: when they played at home. They've been a little better, 931 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 3: but they haven't been great. They one point one expected 932 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 3: goals against Tavia, not not particularly impressive stuff overall, and 933 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 3: they have yet to really have a good Champions League performance, 934 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 3: except when they played Salsburg in a spot where they 935 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 3: had the new manager and Florid cole fedals come in 936 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 3: and he's improved them a little bit, but it seems 937 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 3: like they're heading back towards what's a very average side 938 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 3: in terms of going forward. They've lost three in a 939 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 3: row in all competitions since the co thought manager bump 940 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 3: where they were unbeaten four So if you look at 941 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,800 Speaker 3: their schedule with literally lost lost loss loss as okay, 942 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 3: we fire van Bammel win, win, win, draw and now 943 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,959 Speaker 3: it's lost lost loss, so it seems like they're heading 944 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,879 Speaker 3: back down the slope pier. They only manage point three 945 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 3: expected goals against the Villa on the road point one 946 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 3: against Leo in the first leg. My numbers one point 947 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 3: nine to six, so I agree with bj under two 948 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 3: and a half crazy number here minus one oh five. 949 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 3: Have to take it. Hopefully there's not early goals to 950 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 3: turn this into chaos, so you two. 951 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:33,919 Speaker 5: On the under. 952 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 4: I like lil on the money line. Let's move on 953 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 4: to the other match, which was also set up to 954 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 4: be high drama. Salzburg at home plus one ninety five 955 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 4: underdogs two Sevilla who are plus one fifty five the 956 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 4: draw plus two twenty another three pm kickboff on Wednesday, 957 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 4: Savia's defensive numbers in La Liga are spectacular eleven goals 958 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 4: against their averaging point nine four expected goals against per 959 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 4: ninety minutes in La Liga, but in the Champions League 960 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 4: for some reason, that number is balloon to one point 961 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 4: three eight spectacles against per ninety I think the team 962 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 4: that plays in La Liga is more in tune of 963 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,360 Speaker 4: what we will see over the long term should this 964 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 4: team stick around, than the one that has showed up 965 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 4: for this Group G, which has been hilariously weird. So 966 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 4: I like Savilla's This is a great number on Sevia 967 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 4: plus one fifty five. Yeah, they're on the road, but 968 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 4: they are one of the best teams. 969 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 5: In La Liga. 970 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 4: Their results show that out, their underlying metrics show that out. 971 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 4: And Salzburg, for as exciting as they are and as 972 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 4: well as they started in this group, I think this 973 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 4: number is way too high on them. I would play 974 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,439 Speaker 4: Sevilla down to like plus one thirty on the money 975 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 4: line here. I really do believe in them. I also 976 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,439 Speaker 4: don't hate a punt on them at a big number. 977 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 4: I think they're two hundred and one right now in 978 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 4: the futures market to win this whole. 979 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 5: Thing, because once these teams get through. 980 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 4: If they do get through, they are a bear to 981 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 4: deal with in a knockout football because of how well 982 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 4: they played defensively. 983 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 5: So I'll take Sevia. 984 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,280 Speaker 4: Here on the money line and bj you're coming. 985 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: With me exactly, So a little handicapping thing here, so 986 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: obviously you know we all love Savia on this one. 987 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: For everybody out there, if you're thinking about bet Sevilla 988 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: or maybe the protection of the drama betline, don't go 989 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 1: to the drawing no bedline, because Savilla has to win 990 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: this game. They have to go for it, So there's 991 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 1: much more value in betting the plus one fifty five 992 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: with a team that has to go for it, has 993 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: to win. That first match against Salisburg was maybe one 994 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 1: of the more painful matches I think I've ever watched 995 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: in my life. Salisburg got three penalties in the first half, 996 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: I believe, and missed two of them. So you look 997 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: at expected goals, you see, oh Salsburg. You know it 998 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: was one to one, but they won, you know, three 999 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: to one point eight onexpected goals. Well with three penalties, 1000 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 1: that means they only created a point seventy five expected 1001 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: goals from open play. But the Sevilla team. They're so 1002 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: good at playing to the style of their opponents. So 1003 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is basically Savia sees how 1004 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: their opponent's set up. They're very good at mixing their tactics, 1005 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: mixing their formations so that it's very favorable to them 1006 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: against the opponent. Their style of play. So they're playing 1007 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: a high pressing, you know, tempo, fast team. So what's 1008 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: going to be going to do. They're going to try 1009 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: to play the ball out of the back. They're gonna 1010 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: play very slow, They're gonna get some combination passes going forward, 1011 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: and they can do that against Salzburg. Now, in that 1012 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 1: first match, they also got a red card I believe 1013 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: in the fiftieth minutes, so that through everything out of 1014 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: loop for them for a chance to win. So this 1015 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 1: is a team that's playing really well. You know, they 1016 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: just beat Virel on the weekend, had put up a 1017 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: very good defensive performance there Salsburg sharting to leak some 1018 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: goals left and right. Especially defensively that match against Wolfsburg, 1019 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 1: they were not very good defensively. I love Seville plus 1020 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,359 Speaker 1: one fifty five an exam. I think I'm projected at 1021 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: plus one seventeen so I think you're getting good value 1022 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 1: at plus one fifty five. 1023 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think Salisburg's a little overvalued still in the 1024 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 3: market here. Some of the metrics like five thirty eight 1025 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 3: like them more than I do. I think they're a 1026 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 3: good team. I wish they could also go through. I 1027 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 3: was rooting for Syvie and Salzburg to go both go 1028 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 3: through here, but unfortunately that will not be the case. 1029 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 3: One of them will be going home. It looks like 1030 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,720 Speaker 3: but I agree with bj and I'm to not repeat 1031 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 3: exactly what he said. My handicapp is similar. I like 1032 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 3: them on the money line here, typically like to take 1033 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 3: drawn no bett. I think they have to push for 1034 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 3: the goal here. My concern if Seville gets up, their 1035 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 3: ability to shut games down can kind of frustrate this 1036 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 3: Salsburg team. Grind the game to a halt, make Salsburg 1037 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 3: play at slower pace, make it very difficult for them 1038 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 3: to score. I think it's a good spot for Sevilla, 1039 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 3: even on the road here. Correctly favored and should be 1040 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 3: a little bit bigger of a favorite than they. 1041 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 4: Are almost Sevilla. And let's wrap up with Group F 1042 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 4: Manchester United. They're on ten points via real it's seven points, 1043 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 4: Adelanta at six points, and Young Boys at four points. 1044 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 4: All three of these teams can make it through depending 1045 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 4: on how things go. Young Boys obviously have quite the 1046 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 4: mountain to climb. But Adelanta is playing via Real, they 1047 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 4: are hosting them. They are minus one thirty favorites in 1048 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 4: Bergamo via Real plus three thirty the draw plus three 1049 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 4: twenty three pm kickoff on Wednesday. This is a fun 1050 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 4: one to set up on in terms of game state, 1051 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 4: because vio Real gets through with just a draw. Well, 1052 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 4: Adelanta needs to win. So depending on how this game 1053 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,320 Speaker 4: plays out, fun one till I bet if you're into 1054 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 4: following these kind of chaos series. 1055 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 5: Look, I rarely like big jews with teams. 1056 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 4: I want to say minus one thirty is huge juice, 1057 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 4: But I'm looking towards Adelanta. We're nothing here and I 1058 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 4: know you two have some disagreement and Anthony, you're coming 1059 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 4: with me? 1060 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 5: Yes? 1061 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 3: I am Ladea are absolutely flying. Huge win against Napoli 1062 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 3: on the road on Saturday afternoon was a nice little 1063 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 3: money line cash. I think they're playing at a much 1064 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 3: higher level in Italy right now. When you look at 1065 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 3: the expected goals numbers for the season, they're plus point 1066 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 3: five expect the goal difference per ninety, whereas when you 1067 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 3: look at vill Viria all in Spain, kind of in 1068 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,800 Speaker 3: a bit of a slog here, like they're not performing 1069 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 3: particularly well plus point two per ninety. They've had a 1070 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,880 Speaker 3: ton of defensive miscues that have led to goals in 1071 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 3: these last few games. In Barcelona, game just gave away 1072 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 3: the game with a dumb penalty and a dumb giveaway 1073 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 3: a bad header on a long ball. When they played 1074 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 3: Man United, it was a bad pass from Ruley out 1075 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,399 Speaker 3: of the back that led to United's game winning goal. 1076 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 3: Did not offer much once they went behind against Sevilla, 1077 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 3: and I'm not saying Atalanta is on Sevilla's level in 1078 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 3: terms of defensive ability, but Adalanta's ability to put pressure 1079 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 3: on the back line to force them into mistakes. I 1080 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 3: think we're getting a cheap number here in Atlanta minus 1081 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 3: one twenty five. My numbers minus one forty. I know 1082 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,719 Speaker 3: BJ disagrees. I think we always disagree on Atlanta, but 1083 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 3: I love the boys from Bergamo at home to get 1084 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 3: all three points get into the knockout stage. Jean Piero 1085 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 3: got Spadini into the knockout stage. 1086 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 4: BJ I know you are looking towards the yellow submarine 1087 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,439 Speaker 4: on this one, but I think it does big the question, 1088 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 4: as Anthony touched on Atlanta's flying domestically, right now, they 1089 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 4: look good, their underlying numbers are good. It looks like 1090 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,879 Speaker 4: that this team that everyone fell in love with two 1091 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,399 Speaker 4: years ago is starting to show up again. But where 1092 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 4: do you think this line would be, you know, two 1093 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 4: weeks ago, three weeks ago. I think form obviously matters, 1094 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 4: so that's why it's moved the way, or it's it 1095 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 4: is where it is. I guess you are looking at 1096 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 4: a potential cell high spot on Onalanta. 1097 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is purely a numbers play Listen, 1098 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: I don't disagree that Adelanta has been playing really well. 1099 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: I mean zero point five to six expected goals against Juventus, 1100 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, the three three drag its young boys on 1101 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: one point four expected goals, so not that great. You know, 1102 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 1: they obviously they killed Venetia, but who doesn't They killed Spetsia, 1103 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,839 Speaker 1: who doesn't you know, so that kind of inflates their numbers. 1104 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 1: In Syria a viril like you mentioned, they only need 1105 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: a draw and as we see with Unaiamery in the past, 1106 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: he's very good at setting his team up very defensively 1107 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: to basically play out a draw. Vril is in the 1108 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: bottom half table in La Liga, but they do have 1109 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 1: around at plus two expected gold differential, so some positive 1110 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: regression is coming for them, especially offensively. They wonly scored 1111 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: sixteen goals but have created twenty one expected goals. What 1112 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,839 Speaker 1: worries me about Vril in this type of situation is 1113 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: they haven't played well against the big boys. So like 1114 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, our last podcast I mentioned that against you know, Barcelona, 1115 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, they combined lost the expected goals 1116 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: about around seven expected goals to two point five. Now 1117 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: is that a lance up in the level of those 1118 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 1: three teams? Probably right now and they are. Yeah, But 1119 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 1: given how good Viril has been in the Champions legue, 1120 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 1: they've actually been the best team by expected goals in 1121 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 1: this group about a plus seven expected gold differential. I 1122 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 1: do think that at all is a tad overvalued here. 1123 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: I only have out Alant I believe at around plus 1124 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 1: one seventy. I think you know, this match would be 1125 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 1: around to pick them. If you look at five thirty eight, 1126 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 1: they only have att Alanta at forty eight percent, which 1127 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 1: creates a little bit of value on Viiial. I understand 1128 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: Atlanta has to win, they got to go for it. 1129 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: But as Uniamory is shown in the past, he can 1130 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 1: set his team up very good defensively, essentially parked the 1131 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: bus and try to play out a zero zero draws. 1132 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,839 Speaker 1: So I'm going to back my boy Uniamory and take 1133 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: Viil plus half a goal at plus one fifteen. 1134 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, like I was talking about with Sevia vi a 1135 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 4: Rial another team that is just an absolute menace to 1136 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 4: deal with in knockout football. So if you aren't a 1137 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 4: Beenning Flyers, there are some big numbers out there on 1138 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 4: the Yellow. 1139 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 5: Submarine who won the Europa League last year. 1140 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 4: The team they beat in the Europa League Final is 1141 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 4: Manchester United, who are minus two to fifty five at 1142 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 4: Old Trafford against Young Boys who are plus six fifty 1143 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 4: The draws plus four twenty five three pm kickoff. It's 1144 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 4: a revenge spot for Manchester United who lost to Young 1145 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 4: Boys in Week one of the Champions League, which feels 1146 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 4: like it was three years ago. The coach or the 1147 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 4: manager of that team has now gone on lygue on 1148 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 4: a solshar incomes Ralph Ragnik. He guides Manchester United to 1149 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 4: a victory in his first match. They are in pretty 1150 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 4: good form since Soulshar left. They're collecting wins right now. 1151 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 4: I don't see much value. Honestly, it would be young 1152 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,320 Speaker 4: boys or nothing for me. But I would need a 1153 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 4: much bigger number to go against United on the road, 1154 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 4: So going to stick away. 1155 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 5: From this one. The United's already through. 1156 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,800 Speaker 4: They need a point to clinch first, so the situation 1157 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 4: just as too much nothing for me in this one. 1158 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:29,320 Speaker 5: Anthony would bet. 1159 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,439 Speaker 3: You under three is even money right now. I took 1160 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 3: that right before we started recording this podcast, betting on 1161 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 3: Ragnik defensive improvement before they situate the attack situation. I 1162 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 3: think what we saw in the first match today, I 1163 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 3: watched all ninety minutes against Pallace, the defensive pressing ability 1164 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 3: which I was expecting to see. You're starting to see 1165 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 3: it already and he's only been there, you know. But 1166 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 3: there's a clear change in the tactics, in the way 1167 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 3: that they are defensively aligned, and I think it's going 1168 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 3: to make them a much better defensive team. On Twitter 1169 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,839 Speaker 3: mentioned this they look a lot more like a Ralph 1170 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 3: Housen Hudle Southampton defensive pressing side. Than they do. Maybe 1171 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,959 Speaker 3: a Liverpool Jurgen clop heavy metal football, aggressive press. Young 1172 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 3: Boys attack is much better at home in Switzerland and 1173 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,920 Speaker 3: they've been on the road. Look no further than the 1174 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 3: reverse fixture when they created way more chances. Same thing 1175 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 3: when they played be a Real at home. Same thing 1176 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 3: when they played that thrilling three to three draw with 1177 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 3: Atlanta at home and they went on the road to 1178 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,839 Speaker 3: Atalanta less than point two expected goals, and they went 1179 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 3: on the road to villly Real not nearly as good 1180 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 3: an attack either. Just don't really know Young Boys goes 1181 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,320 Speaker 3: for this here, and I expect United they don't have 1182 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 3: a ton to play for, so they may rotate some attackers, 1183 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,520 Speaker 3: maybe no Ronaldo manage his minutes, but I'm expecting them 1184 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 3: to give a full defensive effort here because they're trying 1185 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,560 Speaker 3: to figure out their system and their tactics and they 1186 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 3: need the game time and the minutes and the competition 1187 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 3: to do that. So I like under three here. I 1188 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 3: think it's a pretty straightforward victory for United in. 1189 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,840 Speaker 4: The end, Jay, before we get to our best bets, 1190 00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,319 Speaker 4: do you have any thoughts on this? 1191 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like Anthony mentioned, I'm very interested to 1192 00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 1: see you know in the second match, what they do 1193 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,719 Speaker 1: in a Rangnick, obviously they're gonna be pressing a lot better, 1194 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 1: They're going to have more defensive structure. That first match 1195 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 1: against Young Boys, I mean Young Boys deserve that two 1196 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,319 Speaker 1: one win. They won unexpectedble is one point four to 1197 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: a round point five United. They don't have anything to 1198 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,240 Speaker 1: play for, so I do have some projected value on United, 1199 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 1: but at the same time, it's very hard for me 1200 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 1: to lay, you know, multiple goals with a team that 1201 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 1: has nothing to play for and a team like Young 1202 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 1: Boys who is very open at the back, and if 1203 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,479 Speaker 1: they're gonna be going for this match, it's a really 1204 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 1: bad matchup no matter who really United has out there 1205 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: as an attacking because you know, even though they've struck, 1206 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 1: United has struggled offensively, and even if Ronomdalo's not out there, 1207 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: from a talent level perspective, you've Manchester United is leaps 1208 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: and bounds better than Young Boys, So I can say 1209 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,279 Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter who they put out there in 1210 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 1: terms of attackers. But again, without a team, since they 1211 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: have no motivation, they got nothing to play for, it's 1212 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,319 Speaker 1: very hard for me lay multiple goals. So I agree 1213 00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 1: with Anthony, that you know defensive aggression is going to 1214 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: come for you. Under ranging, they're going to be playing 1215 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 1: a lot better defensively. This is a situation where we 1216 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: could see that could very easy see United winning one 1217 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: or two nothing against the young boys. So it's passed for me, 1218 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: but I'm interested to see how United plays the second 1219 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 1: time under ranking. 1220 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 4: All right, with that, we will move on to our 1221 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 4: favorite bets of match week six, the final part of 1222 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 4: the group stages of the Champions League. 1223 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 5: Anthony, let's start with you, what is your favorite bet? 1224 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 3: Inter Milan plus a half minus one point thirty at 1225 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 3: the Bernabaut against Real Madrid. No Karen Benzema for Real 1226 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,319 Speaker 3: Madrid in this match, big loss for them. Both teams 1227 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,439 Speaker 3: are playing for first place. The situation here Intern needs 1228 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 3: a win, Real needs to draw to clinch first place. 1229 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,359 Speaker 3: So if it's tied late, I like inter Milan here. 1230 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be the team going for the win. 1231 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 3: Reale doesn't necessarily need to win it. It's not really 1232 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 3: priced in the market here. Inter was also the better 1233 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 3: team in the first leg that they played at the 1234 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 3: San zero one. They expect the goals battle two to one. 1235 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,480 Speaker 3: Give up a late goal in stoppage time undeserved loss. 1236 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,799 Speaker 3: They've also been better in their domestic league in terms 1237 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 3: of pformances. Real Madrid still leaking goals at the back, 1238 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,799 Speaker 3: not sure they can defend interhere and their attack which 1239 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 3: have been significantly improved, and so I'm taking them plus 1240 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,319 Speaker 3: a half at minus one thirty lane a little bit 1241 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 3: of juice, but think that it's still undervalued. 1242 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 5: MBJ your favorite bet this week. 1243 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,839 Speaker 1: I like Savia plus one fifty five on the road 1244 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 1: against Salzburg the first time these two mets. I mean 1245 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 1: Salsburg had three penalties in the first half, so the 1246 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 1: expected final expected goals is about three expected goals for 1247 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: Salzburg around one point eight for Savilla, so you see that. 1248 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 1: But if you take away those three penalties, Salisburg only 1249 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,240 Speaker 1: created point seventy five expected goals from open play. Savia 1250 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 1: is one of a top ten team in Europe. They're 1251 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,799 Speaker 1: incredibly good defensively, they're very good with their structure, and 1252 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: they're very good at changing their tactics and their formations 1253 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 1: given how their opponent plays. So they're going to be 1254 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 1: playing a Salzburg team that's going to come out. They're 1255 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 1: going to press They're going to play high tempo. Savia 1256 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 1: is the best team against the press in LA League. 1257 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 1: Their first and offensive passes per defensive action, they'll be 1258 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: able to play through. Salzburg is the press, you know, 1259 00:53:58,400 --> 00:53:59,759 Speaker 1: much like they did in the first half the last 1260 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:01,399 Speaker 1: time they got a red card in the fiftieth minute, 1261 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 1: which you know through the game for a loop. This 1262 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 1: is still one of the top ten teams in Europe. 1263 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 1: They're way better from a talent perspective than Salzburg. I 1264 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 1: have to be a projected at plus one fifteen, so 1265 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:12,719 Speaker 1: I love them at plus one fifty five. 1266 00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 4: And my favorite bet, I like Lil on the money 1267 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 4: line plus two thirty five. 1268 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 5: Wolfsburg. 1269 00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 4: They need to win this match to have a chance. 1270 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 4: Lil just needed a result to get through. So I'll 1271 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 4: take one of the best defensive teams in league on 1272 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 4: one of the toughest teams to break down in this tournament. 1273 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,239 Speaker 4: They have been incredibly unlucky domestically been pretty impressive. I 1274 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 4: did not like them coming into this tournament. I've turned 1275 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,479 Speaker 4: changed my tune. So give me little plus two thirty 1276 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 4: five against a really, really average Volfsburg team and that 1277 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,800 Speaker 4: will do it for Anthony Dubundo for BJ Cunningham. 1278 00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 5: I'm Michael Leebop. 1279 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 4: We'll see you guys on Thursday morning where we'll preview 1280 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 4: the Premier League and the rest of Europe into the 1281 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 4: domestic league, and then in a couple of weeks we'll 1282 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,839 Speaker 4: be talking knockout stages of the Champions League. 1283 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 5: So until then, thank you very much
