So associate DoD Unjan Berlin and Fayanord along 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: with a lens are one fifty to one. So is 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: PSB einhoven RB Salzburg two hundred and one, along with 49 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: Celtic Galataser Galatassa out of Turkey.

I know that was a lot 56 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: to digest. BJ If you had to pick a team 57 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: right now to bet, we'll talk long shots in a second, 58 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: but let's stick towards the top of the board here. 59 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Who would it be? 60 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, for a team that I think has a realistic 61 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: shot of winning the Champions League. I mean it's a 62 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 4: team that I think we all bet last season. It's 63 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 4: Barcelona at sixteen to one. Here's the thing with Barcelona, 64 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 4: The last two years. You know, obviously two years ago 65 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 4: they got I May. Two years in a row, they've 66 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: been playing in a group with Byron, and even two 67 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: years ago they were playing a group with Benefica, and 68 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 4: it's kind of before we knew how good Benefica was. 69 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: And last year they're obviously in a group along with 70 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: the Intern, along with Byron, so they've essentially been in 71 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: two very very difficult groups in back to back years. 72 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 4: Now they get the benefit in having one of the 73 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 4: one of the easy as cakewalks of anybody in this 74 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 4: entire Champions League field. And even if you go back 75 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: to last season, the first match against Bayern Munich in Munich, 76 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: they were the better team for the first hour of 77 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 4: the match and then Byron scored on a counter attack 78 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 4: and that was kind of all she wrote. But this 79 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 4: Barcelona team, not only do they have just as much 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 4: talent as anybody in this entire Champions League field, but 81 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 4: if you look at their underlying metrics in Spain from 82 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 4: last season, they had a plus one point one to 83 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: one expected gold differential that was the second best mark 84 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 4: only behind City in Europe's top five leagues. So why 85 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: are they sitting at sixteen to one is because they 86 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 4: so sold dem Bele. Is it because there's some other 87 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: teams that are the market is perceiving as more talented them, 88 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 4: like a Real Madrid, a Byron or an Arsenal. I 89 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 4: have Barcelona power rated as the fourth best team in 90 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 4: the world, and I think some of the signings they 91 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 4: made this summer, bringing in Gundagan, bringing in Romeo, bringing 92 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 4: Martinez from Athletic Bilbao really helps them through their spine 93 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: and gives them a lot of depth. I mean, this 94 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: was one of the best defensive team across Europe. I 95 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: know they ran well incredibly defensively and they're not going 96 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 4: to put up those type of defensive numbers again, but 97 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 4: they still only allowed point eight to seven non penalty 98 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 4: expected goals for ninety minutes. That's still very, very impressive 99 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 4: in the second best league in Europe. So for a 100 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 4: team who now has a cake walk through their group 101 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 4: through their group's stage, I think sixteen to one is 102 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 4: a tattoo long. I think Barcelona should be priced along 103 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 4: with Arsenal and Real Madrid, around the ten to one, 104 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 4: nine to one range. So I like the value on 105 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 4: Barcelona at the best price you can find right now 106 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 4: at sixteen to one. 107 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: I'll stick in Spain, not a surprise. Then I'll back 108 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: at Atletico Madrid and. 109 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 4: I'll be there with you on that, Letty babe. 110 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: I thought i'd give you the chance to yeah, and 111 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: I don't even think you need to bet at now. 112 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: I think that even if they win the group, they'll 113 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: probably be hanging around this number for a while. They're 114 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: as highest twenty nine to one. But you just you 115 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: can trust Diego Simioni, especially in a bounce back year 116 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: Anthony when he got to go back into the lab 117 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: and tinker a little bit and became an offensive wonder. 118 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: He's got, He's got Letty scoring goals for fun right 119 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: now in La Liga. You gotta trust him as a manager. 120 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: And these not got stages plus the group. I mean, 121 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: I know that they disappointed last year in the group stage, 122 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: but nothing nothing to be afraid of here. 123 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 4: With Yeah, really unlucky though, Michael, Let's be fair. 124 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Club Bruga knocked Atletico Madrid out of the 125 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: Champions League. But I think the problem I have with 126 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 3: Leti is that like they were. You could make this 127 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 3: case in the past because it was like, yeah, they're 128 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: going to be insanely good defensively, they're going to take 129 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: their chances, and they're well managed and well tactical, tactically drilled, 130 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: but they're not even that good defensively anymore. 131 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: They haven't been good defensively for a year, so like 132 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: that was the thing. 133 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: That was the thing that they did last season. They 134 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: weren't good defensively, and I don't think they're. 135 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: Going to be any better. 136 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: I think they're just that they've they've changed, Diego has changed. 137 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: But they're a better league team now, I will say. 138 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: I mean, the group's interesting that we're going to get 139 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: into that, but. 140 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: I just think it's a it's a of the teams 141 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: in this kind of right. I think the path for 142 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: them is fine. I mean I'd much rather bet them 143 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: than a team like Newcastle in that wild group. I'd 144 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: much rather bet them than then enter. I like this 145 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: team is and the manager I just have full full 146 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: trust in. So we'll see. I mean, you just always 147 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: go down with the ship. That's that's what it's all about. So, 148 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: like I said, I think this number will be around, 149 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: so I want to go rushing forward. If you want 150 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: to get in on mattress Makers with me, Anthony h 151 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: the other team. I was kind of interested here is 152 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: when you landed on, but I didn't get there because 153 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: I think it's it's an interesting bi low opportunity on 154 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: the team you're about to highlight, considering where they were 155 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: priced the past what three or four Champions Leagues. 156 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 3: People forget that two years ago when we first started 157 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: doing this podcast, PSG was power raded so highly that 158 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: they were a favorite to win their group when they 159 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 3: were paired with Manchester City, and I remember we all 160 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: were like, this is the most ridiculous line we've ever seen. 161 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 3: And City went on to win that group, and we said, like, 162 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: how can you bet PSG at this number? And look, 163 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: I get it. If you build, you know, your power 164 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: ratings based off how good players are. When you have Messi, 165 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: neymar and and Bape on the pitch at the same time, 166 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: that team is automatically going to be one of. 167 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: The top three or four power rated teams. 168 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: In the world. 169 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 3: And it never really bore out that way when they 170 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 3: came to actually play the matches and tactically with with 171 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: whether it was Postino, you know, it did never really 172 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 3: Workmar's lack of fitness certainly hurt them, you know, consistently, 173 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 3: and both the League and the Champions League. They have 174 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: never you know, even under Gulty year, never really figured 175 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 3: out the right way to play. But what if they 176 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 3: have now because they sold you know, Messi leaves he 177 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 3: plays for Inter Miami now in case you live under 178 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: a rock, and they're gonna win MLS neymar leaves for 179 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: the Saudi League, and they've quietly done a really nice 180 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: job of replacing them with players who better fit the 181 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: roles around in Boppe and Quillian and Bope is still 182 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 3: the best player in the world for my money, actively 183 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: and you know that gives them this incredibly high attacking 184 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 3: floor because when he's on the pitch, they're just going 185 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: to be an excellent attack. And now with Dembele, you know, 186 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 3: manning potentially one wing like he did in the last 187 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 3: matchup against Leon. And then they go out and they 188 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 3: buy Gonsala Ramos from Benfica and somebody who electrified the 189 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 3: World Cup with his hat trick debut, somebody that we've 190 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: all loved on this show and main reason why we 191 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 3: loved Benfica as an underdog last year. 192 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 2: And then they go get kolam Juani from from Frankfurt. 193 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: The Cencio's in the picture. 194 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 3: Like they have built a team that is much more 195 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 3: sustainable from a defensive perspective, because all of those guys 196 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 3: are going to offer more off the ball than Messi 197 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: and Name were. And also the price. I mean, we're 198 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: used to getting PSG at like five to one, six 199 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: to one, and it never made sense. But now you're 200 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: getting him at sixteen to one. And I actually like 201 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 3: looking at these groups of death. You know, last year, 202 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 3: I bet Barsad we got him at twenty to one 203 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 3: because they were in that group of death. The reality 204 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: is that like, okay, if they don't advance, they don't advance. 205 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 3: That certainly is why the number goes down. But if 206 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: we think that they can hit that ceiling, it'd be 207 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: as good as they've been that it doesn't really matter 208 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 3: who's in their group because they're going to advance. 209 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 2: And I do think they will advance. 210 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: Out at this group, so PSG they just need to 211 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 3: get through and all of a sudden, sixteen to one 212 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: is a great ticket. And you know, the manager, Luis Enriquez, 213 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: somebody that we've always liked, and you know, we've backed 214 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: his Spanish sides because they've been so good at consistently 215 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: developing elite attacks through their you know, very solid possession structures. 216 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 3: Well through the first four league matches in France, it's 217 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 3: very early. 218 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 2: PSG did not have. 219 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 3: Anybody for their first game, so you can kind of 220 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 3: that out. But they dominated Lens at home, dominated the 221 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 3: own a way, and you know, these are two teams 222 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 3: in France that are struggling at the moment, so I 223 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 3: want to see them play like a inform France team 224 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 3: before I'm like truly bought in. But them putting up 225 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 3: these ridiculously good extreme numbers is incredibly impressive for me. 226 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: And their defense is always going to be good. So 227 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 3: you know, with Markinos and screen Yard, it's a reliable back. 228 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: You know too pairing and Kimmy is one of the 229 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: best right backs in the world. So where's the hole 230 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: and you know, the midfield's a little light. I think 231 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 3: that's really the question here. But from a sixteen to 232 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 3: one number, like how much worse are they the real Madrid? 233 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: I don't think they're that much worse, So I like, yeah, 234 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 3: it's the. 235 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: Group of death like scares people. It's the same thing 236 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: with when you're betting, like tennis tournaments or or march 237 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: madness and people get scared away about the quarter that 238 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: someone's drawn into. The upshot is if they get through it, 239 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: it almost automatically meets there in great form. So yeah, 240 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: don't I don't hate the PSG. Look at all long 241 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: shots real quick, now, Anthony, you and I are the 242 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: same one. Arbi Leipzig, they got your on into a 243 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: group with man City, the tournament favorites. It's not good, 244 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: but when you look at the other two teams that 245 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: they got placed with, it's becomes a lot less scary 246 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: young boys and Red Star Belgrade should be a lot 247 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: of fun to have them back in the in the 248 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: Champions League. With that, the atmosphere that ends up developing 249 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: over there, I mean, Man City's trip should be out 250 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: of control. But yeah, one thing that I like about 251 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: Leipzig two is first of all, they're sixty six to one. 252 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: They should get through the group and then they're gonna 253 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: be a live underdog if they're you know, depending on 254 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: who they're playing whatever. But they can't draw City, and 255 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: they can't drow City this time around. And two like 256 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,599 Speaker 1: it's it's a team that typically gets better as the 257 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: season goes along, right because they've got this insane talent 258 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: pipeline that she just keeps developing, and as other teams 259 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: are dealing with injuries and whatever, like, they're just they 260 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: have this whole crop of young players that are getting 261 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: you know, settled into the squad. By that point, they're fresh, 262 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: and it's just not there's such a deep system that 263 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: it's just not as big a deal. When we get 264 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: to like February and March, other teams are are are 265 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: wilting across finish lines in different competitions, so the upside's 266 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: always there with them, and this has just been a 267 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: consistently really good team in the Bundesliga for half a 268 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: decade now, So sixty six to one, I think that 269 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: they're the most appealing shot in that range. What do 270 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: you have to add, Oka? 271 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 4: I agree. 272 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: I don't usually play a ton of Champions League futures 273 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: before the group stage, but I have fired on both 274 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: PSG and Leipsig because when you look at the teams 275 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 3: priced around Leipzig, I don't know that any of them 276 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: have the ceiling that Leipzig does to get to that 277 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: level where they're just a tier below the two top teams, 278 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: which I think are pretty clearly City and Byron on paper. 279 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: So Leipzig last year played it like a top eight 280 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: in the world level. 281 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 3: In the second half of the season, they lose a 282 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 3: ton of players. And we've talked Aboutleipzig a good amount 283 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: on the show already. I've watched every minute they've played 284 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: this year because they're a fascinating team to me and 285 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: I wanted to see, you know, how does Cesco a, 286 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 3: Ponda and Simon's work together and can they make this work? 287 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: And look, this attack is firing. I mean they you know, 288 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 3: comfortably beat Unoon away from home, which is hard to do. 289 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: I know they got a red card in the second half, 290 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 3: but they were the better side clearly. They rolled stude 291 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 3: guarded team that I think is quite underrated in Germany. 292 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: They'd be buyering the super couple already. Like they have 293 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: lost their two most important players in Kunku and Cavardiole 294 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: and they have not missed a beat, so you know, 295 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: it's impressive. And they lose all the bush lye and 296 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 3: immediately have a replacement Danny almost been awesome. Like they've 297 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: already gotten like breakout games from Oponda, from Almo, from 298 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 3: Cessco and the season's like a month old. So I'm 299 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: really encouraged by this Leipzig team, and like you said, 300 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: they always have the talent coming through. So yeah, I 301 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 3: mean they're gonna come in second in the group probably. 302 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: They're gonna avoid City and they're gonna avoid Byron in 303 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 3: the round of sixteen. They can't be drawn against the 304 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: two best teams in the round of sixteen, so I 305 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 3: think they're gonna probably. I mean, there's gonna be some 306 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 3: pretty weak group winners, which we're about to get into. 307 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 3: I think that they're interesting from a like actually get 308 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 3: to a semi final or final and win this thing. 309 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: Maybe not because, like you know, they're just not as 310 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: good as City or Byron, but they've beaten Byron before, 311 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: so I wouldn't count them out. 312 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: And b J a team just donation. 313 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, we're gonna be talking about this team 314 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: quite a bit on this show. 315 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 316 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, Well we'll get to this when we 317 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: get in gripe. But yeah, this probably isn't gonna win. 318 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 4: But just purely from a pricing perspective, this team should 319 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 4: not be sitting around two and fifty one. They should 320 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 4: be in more in the one hundred to one ninety 321 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 4: to one range Gal Tassarai. Boy have they been busy 322 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 4: this summer. They have brought in a lot a lot 323 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 4: of guys to tool up for this Champions League, Wilfrid Zaha, 324 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 4: Davidson Sanchez, Demurbai Tete and Helino Tangay dumble A Ziek. 325 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 4: This team has talent. Marco Occarty has been there for 326 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 4: last season, scoring to. 327 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: Borrow Marioccardi back from the dead. I honestly couldn't have 328 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: told you where he was playing. 329 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 4: Twenty roles season a second to only enter Valencia in 330 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 4: the Turkish Super League. But last season. You know, the 331 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 4: turkeysh Super League's very interesting because they have money and 332 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 4: a lot of the top teams do buy up a 333 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 4: lot of these kind of cast off guys who can't 334 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 4: really find a place into a premier league squad, so 335 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 4: that essentially they've just taken this banned island of misfits 336 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 4: who haven't really found a place in one of the 337 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 4: bigger sides, and they've turned it into something that's actually 338 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 4: kind of good and I think can actually challenge a 339 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: lot of these top teams, especially in Group A. We'll 340 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 4: just get to and second plus one point one to 341 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 4: six expectable differential in Turkey, which is the eighth best 342 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: league in Europe. There, they also play a style like 343 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 4: they're not They're not going to be like Brendan Rodgers Celtic, 344 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 4: where they're going to be like this slow, progressive, pragmatic 345 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 4: team that just needs to build out of the back 346 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 4: with all these short passes. Actually a Turkey they use 347 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 4: a lot of vertical passing crosses and like to utilize 348 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 4: the space behind the defense. So that sets up really 349 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: really well for the teams that they're going to be 350 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 4: playing in Group A. So you get to the round 351 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 4: of sixteen, you potentially get a favorable draw. You know, 352 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 4: if you remember the last season, Club Bruges I believe 353 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 4: won their group and gave Benefica a pretty favorable draw there. 354 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 4: So like something like that could potentially happen where they 355 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 4: get a good draw in the round of sixteen, we 356 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 4: get to the quarters and suddenly of a two hundred 357 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 4: and fifty ticket that's live. They should not be two 358 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty to one. They're better. Yeah, Like per 359 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 4: transfer market dot Com, they have a higher squad transfer 360 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 4: value than both Sevilla and Latio and Faianid than PSV 361 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 4: all of these teams, so they shouldn't be priced up. 362 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 4: That's that's the main argument here for this price. So 363 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 4: if you want a team that could potentially make a 364 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 4: quarterfinal and maybe luck box their way, similar to what 365 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 4: Sevilla did in the Europa League last season, maybe it's 366 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 4: probably not gonna win, but the price is too high. 367 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 4: Galataster two fifty to one to win the Champions League, Yep. 368 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 2: No doubt. 369 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 3: The best like long like absurd long shot on the 370 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 3: board is got sorry yep. 371 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think a lot of times when we 372 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: talk about like the teams that are in this range, 373 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: they have like an up and comer that we're we're 374 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: excited about, like Ramos last year or whatever, Like this 375 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: is a team full of just veteran champions. I've never 376 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: played in the Champions League, but like veteran players who 377 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: who know how to kind of handle these situations, so 378 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm not their managers were in the Champions League before. 379 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: For goal, yep, good guys. That guy is a World 380 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: Cup legend for for Uruguay. Like this is a I'm 381 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: on board, yeah, and let's stick there. We'll go group 382 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: by group. Now, Group A, this is it. This is fun, 383 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: not the most fun group on the board. But it's 384 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: it's it's up there. Uh. Byron is odds on to 385 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: win it at minus one eighty eight, Manchester United two 386 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: to one. The afore mentioned Galatasaray tend to Copenhagen thirty 387 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: three to one. I mean, we just talked about it, BJ, 388 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: you don't even have to add anything in we're on 389 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: the Turkish club to advance here, Anthony, Well. 390 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 3: The biggest thing that happened was that Byron and Barca 391 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 3: were not drawn in the same group. So BJ will 392 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 3: be saving some Monday this year, not betting Barcelona against 393 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 3: Bayern Munich, which he loved to do, and I don't 394 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 3: know that he ever won a single bet. 395 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 2: Nope, I kept out him. Don't do it. 396 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: I'll do it again. 397 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: They'll draw them in or the round of six or 398 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 4: the quarterfinals, and I'll do it again. 399 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 400 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 3: You know, Byron has destroyed the group stage. They've been 401 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 3: like the ultimate group stage Dons. They never lose. They 402 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 3: win their group every year. They usually take all eighteen points. 403 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 3: Sometimes they like rest people and only take sixteen. But 404 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 3: I don't really see a ton of resistance here in 405 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 3: this group. Like United, I could see myself, you know, 406 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 3: them getting tripped up here with United and Galatasaray. United 407 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 3: especially like can still be dangerous as an underdog playing 408 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 3: on the break against some of these teams, and Byron 409 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 3: has the same flaws that they always do with their 410 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 3: defensive transition. It's why they wanted Paulinya, It's why they 411 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 3: you know, they didn't get them in. Ultimately, like one 412 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 3: sixty minus won sixty is a little short. I think 413 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 3: I think they should be closer to like two to ten. 414 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 3: But you know, with my betting on galatasser you can 415 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 3: kind of see where this is going and where our 416 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: pod is going as it always seems to go, which 417 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 3: is that we do think a Man United is getting 418 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 3: way too high of a market valuation. And you can 419 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 3: just look at like the outright odds even and see like, okay, 420 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: Man United is ten to one, twelve to one to. 421 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 2: Win this competition. I think that's insane. 422 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: I mean, they I think they're going to be better 423 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 3: than they were against Arsenal because they get Hoylan in 424 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 3: there and he'll start and that'll make them better and 425 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 3: maybe Amrabod helps with their build up. But this team 426 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 3: just doesn't defend nearly well enough, I don't think, and 427 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 3: I think that's going to make them very dangerous. They 428 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 3: did get a little bit of a break with the 429 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 3: group matchups in the sense they will start with Byron, 430 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 3: which probably means they start with a loss. That also 431 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 3: means they get to end with Byron at home on 432 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 3: the final day, which if Byron has already won the group, 433 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 3: Byron could rotate a little bit maybe, although again we've 434 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 3: seen that against teams in the past they still win, 435 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 3: so that would certainly help them. Galatas Raie gets to 436 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 3: host United in the fifth match week as well, so 437 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 3: that's probably what decides this group. Really though if Byron 438 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 3: holds Chalk and wins its matches it's supposed to there 439 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 3: doesn't have to be a lot to go wrong for 440 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 3: galataster Ride at four to one to advance here. So 441 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: I love one of my favorite tickets that I've already 442 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 3: bet for the group with Galatasterie. 443 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 2: I mean, they're putting up really good numbers. 444 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: They dominated qualifying, got through like, they've been really impressive, 445 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 3: and we talked about the talent base. I mean it's 446 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 3: it's a collection of players that have all played in 447 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 3: the Champions League for top top teams. 448 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: And they're known as the conqueror of Europe. Yeah, I 449 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: mean you can kind of like put this roster if 450 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: you just put this roster and put them on Benfica, 451 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: which which is not like that crazy to say or 452 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: like a you know, a Sporting Lisbon from from years 453 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: past or something, this this number would be eighty to one, right, 454 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: Like it's not yep, it's just because this is a 455 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: team coming from from the Turkish League. 456 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 4: That it's Benefica was that I believe two years ago 457 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: they were in the one hundred and fifty to two 458 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 4: hundred range for a while, and then last year I 459 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 4: believe they were one hundred to one, and then you 460 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 4: see as we see them continually making the round of sixteen, 461 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 4: it's like, okay, this team is actually pretty good. Yeah, 462 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 4: short fifty to one. And it happened with i X too, 463 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 4: like you know when i X got raided for all 464 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 4: their great players and then we all had that hundred 465 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 4: to one ticket on them, and then you know, they 466 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 4: that Champions League that they should have won, what was 467 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 4: that three years ago? Two years ago? And then you 468 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 4: saw it last season when they were sitting you know, 469 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 4: one hundred and one even after they got raided. So 470 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 4: it's like it's, uh, we'll see if Gallatass right, you know, 471 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 4: wins the Turkish League again and they come back with 472 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 4: the same roster, there'll be one hundred to one, Like 473 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: this is how it goes. 474 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: All right, we'll move on to Group B. I also 475 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: want to just mention Thatchampions League is known as a 476 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: I think as a Chalky competition. But we get these 477 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: long shots through two later stages in the tournament all 478 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: the time, and you'll see at least one surprise group winner. 479 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: Bruce and Benfica were the ones last year. Then you'll 480 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: get was that we had Ben Vika last year. Yeah, 481 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: so yeah, I didn't have Bruce. 482 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 3: One of us had Bruce, none of us had Yeah, 483 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 3: against them every match, every match. 484 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: But so it just bears repeating that. While yeah, it's 485 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: it's probably going to go to City or Byron or 486 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: Real Madrid or one of these big clubs, at the 487 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: very very end, those will be the teams that are 488 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: lifting in a trophy. These upstarts gate crash all the time. 489 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: So don't be afraid if we see another like viea 490 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: Real and uh even Inter what was Inter thirty three 491 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: to one. 492 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: Thirty four remind me. 493 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, so uh freaking loukaku man keep that in mind. 494 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: Group B. Now there's Arsenal odds on it minus two 495 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: hundred to win it, Sevilla plus four fifty to the 496 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: second favorite PSV out of the Netherlands six to one, 497 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: Lens out of league oh seven to one. This sets 498 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: up well for Arsenal. I think we can all agree there. 499 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: None of our true believers in Sevilla, despite their prowess 500 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: as a as a tournament team, even even in down years, 501 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: they somehow win a win a lower level European trophy. 502 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: It seems like so I guess that the racer second 503 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: is wide open. BJ. What are your thoughts here? 504 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just going to straight fade Seville in this 505 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 4: group them not to advance at minus one twenty. I 506 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 4: think we've been through Sevilla so many times, but I'll 507 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 4: just reiterate it if maybe this is someone listening to 508 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 4: the first time for US, But Sevilla last season minus 509 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 4: eight expecting gold differential in Spain, they were a bottom 510 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 4: three defense, allowing one point four to three actually per 511 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 4: ninety in the lowest scoring league among Europe's top five leagues. 512 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 4: Then they went through this insane LU run through the 513 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 4: Europa League knockout round or the knockout playoff round against 514 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 4: PSV who they'll be facing in this tie, Los on 515 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 4: XG over the two legs one point five to two 516 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 4: point eight. Then they played Finnerbace Los on xt G 517 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 4: point eight to two point eight. Then they went and 518 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: played Manchester United. If you remember that at the time, 519 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 4: Manchester United was dealing with a lot of injuries. They 520 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 4: had to play Harry Maguire at center back, like it 521 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 4: just wasn't a good situation for them. They did play them, 522 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 4: even unexpected goals and got through against them. They went 523 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,479 Speaker 4: and played Juventus, lost to them on XG three to 524 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 4: three point eight, and then obviously beat Roma on penalties 525 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 4: and killed our twenty three to one ticket win. Roma 526 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 4: beat them on x G one point nine to point eight. 527 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 4: Like that's how insane their run was to get through 528 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 4: and win the Europa League. So if you're someone coming 529 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 4: in and be like, oh, Savilla they won the Europa League, 530 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 4: like they must have a good shot here to get through, 531 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 4: Like no, this team is awful. They've been awful so 532 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 4: to begin this season in La Liga, they've lost their 533 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 4: first three matches. They are one of my favorite teams 534 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 4: to fade in La Liga, but somehow they just keep 535 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 4: getting lucky in these type of European competitions. So you 536 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 4: look at the other two teams in this group, you 537 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 4: know PSV. If I were to bet one team or 538 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 4: the other, PSB or Lens, I would bet PSV. They 539 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 4: did lose some of their talent. You know, if you 540 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 4: look at PSB, there were one point four to five 541 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 4: actually for ninety minute team in the Netherlands last year, 542 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 4: which is the best mark of anybody there. But that 543 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 4: was half a season with Cody Gakpo, a full season 544 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 4: with Shabi Simones who was honestly one of the better 545 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 4: players in in the area. To Za, one of their 546 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 4: best midfielders, Cinghai is now moved on to Nottingham Forests 547 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 4: and there goes thirty eight percent of their goals. So 548 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: they did bring in some production to replace them, you know, 549 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 4: Lozano from Napoli, No Lang from Club Bruges, Like that's encouraging, 550 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 4: but the man, yeah, they're not going to produce that 551 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 4: type of production that gag poede simonk was doing it. 552 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 4: So they're not as a frightening as they were last season. 553 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 4: Then you look at Lens. You know they just lost 554 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 4: two of their best players, Alpenda who's obviously off to Leipzig, Fofana, 555 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 4: with the best midfielders, is off to the Saudi League. 556 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 4: They did make some encouraging additions, you know why, you 557 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 4: coming over from Montpellier who had a good finishing rate 558 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 4: last year nineteen goals, but asking him to replace opendous 559 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 4: production is asking a bit much. And then there's also 560 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 4: the fact that they ran insanely good defensively twenty eight 561 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 4: goals allowed off a forty three point three perspective expected 562 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 4: and Bryce sam but was only a plus four point 563 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 4: or five point four post shot actually plus minus keepers. 564 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 4: So it's basically just teams for whatever reason just couldn't 565 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 4: finish against them. So if they get some negative aggression 566 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 4: coming this season, which they've already seen it kind of 567 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 4: start the season, they've had to play Ren Monaco and 568 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 4: PS two to begainst. Season has not gone well. They've 569 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 4: gotten pretty well dominated in those three matches. If you 570 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 4: had to bet a team to get through, I think 571 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 4: it would be PSV. But I'm just going to straight 572 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 4: Betsavia not to advance and just basically just you know, 573 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 4: do a double chance between PSAV and Lens. You know, 574 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 4: there's another team to win their group that I like 575 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 4: with Arsenal on a parlay that I'll get to you 576 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 4: later in the show. But yeah, Arsenal should very very 577 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 4: easily cruise this. And honestly, Arsenal. 578 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 3: Arsenal may not be in the Europa League anymore, but they 579 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 3: got a Europa League ass group. 580 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: I mean, this is weak ship, man. 581 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: I mean, Sevilla to finish exactly third, if they offered that, 582 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 3: I bet that, because that gets what gets that's what 583 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 3: gets them into the Europa League playoff round. 584 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: They can go do their magic. 585 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, like we had a conversation about 586 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 3: Sylvia before the year, like is this Mendeli bar improvement 587 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 3: real or is just like kind of a fluke it 588 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 3: was I think I'm pretty safe to say. I mean, 589 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 3: like in the series been been, you know, he's when 590 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 3: he's out there, their attacks good because he's so good 591 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: in the air, but they have no defenders, no defenders 592 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 3: and uh that's true. Sergio Ramos coming in save the day. 593 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 3: If they were to go, if they finished third and 594 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 3: they go play Liverpool in the in the playoff round. 595 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 3: Solid is gonna have to Gosa is gonna force and 596 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 3: move to Saudi Arabia before you have to play that match. 597 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 3: But but in seriousness, I just don't know who to 598 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: back here, like you mentioned it with PSB, Like I've 599 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 3: liked PSB and I bet PSB a lot in Europa 600 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 3: League last year, but I don't like, this is just 601 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 3: not the same team anymore. They lost it, they got raided, 602 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 3: and they always seem to have the next crew of 603 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 3: guys coming through. But it feels like a transitioneer for them. 604 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 3: And you know, no Gackpod no, no, no, Simon's no 605 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 3: sun all right, brand wait, just not that good of 606 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 3: a team. 607 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: So branth Waite was imperious for them in the in 608 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: the center of that defense last year. Now true he's 609 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: back home. Uh all right, So I think we can 610 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: just bet against Sevilla too with these teams as well, 611 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: Like it's yeah, you don't need to just lock it up. 612 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, he is like a minus one ten favorite against uh. 613 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 4: I believe Lens in the first match. 614 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 3: Although I already see myself betting Sevilla at home against 615 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: Arsenal in like a nice spot and with a good 616 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 3: number I think it's gonna be a really good look 617 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: for just for them at home. 618 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: Uh, Group C Real Madrid minus one eighty eight, Napoli 619 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: last years Darlings plus two twenty five, Braga out of 620 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: Portugal twelve to one, and Hunyad Berlin how about it 621 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: twelve to one another looks straight pretty straightforward here. We 622 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: do tend to bet against Real Madrid in this competition 623 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: in the early stages. It's they know that they can 624 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: kind of get away with spotting FC Sheriff a win 625 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: or two in the group stage. It's still go to 626 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: the go to the final. But Anthony, you you have 627 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: some value on a on a group winner and it's 628 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: unfortunately not Real Madrid. This would have been your first 629 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: I thought, maybe we see your first ever bet on 630 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: Los Blancos. 631 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 3: I'm trying to think I have ever bet Real Madrid 632 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 3: my life, maybe once or twice, but this is not 633 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 3: one of those times. 634 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: Uh. You know. 635 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 3: They they scored another late winner against Gatafe to just 636 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 3: absolutely break my heart. 637 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 2: If you watched the if you they put. 638 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,959 Speaker 3: It like nine minutes on the board and I'm like, 639 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 3: are you people serious? 640 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: How were there nine minutes? 641 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 3: And what that actually meant was, we're gonna play until 642 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 3: Real Madrid goes up two to one, and then we're 643 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 3: gonna call the game immediately. 644 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 2: It's basically what happened. 645 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 3: The goalie fumbles the ball, Bellingham taps it in, does 646 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 3: his patented Carlos Alcoraz inspired celebration. Now, and I was burnt, 647 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 3: But that's sour grapes, that's water to the bridge. I 648 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 3: don't think there's a huge gap here. I think Napoli 649 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 3: is still as good as these top teams. And yes 650 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 3: I have Real Madrid slightly better, but not enough to 651 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 3: the point where Napoli can't tear this defense apart with 652 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 3: Kabar Scalia and Osaman on the break. And we've seen 653 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 3: Napoli play in possession a lot. There have not been 654 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 3: a lot of examples where they had to play out 655 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 3: of possession, but those examples where we have seen it 656 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 3: against Liverpool in the Champions League last year, you know, 657 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 3: some matches against Inter where Inter had more of the ball. 658 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: Like they have proven themselves. 659 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 3: To be a very good transitional team because they have 660 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 3: an elite ribbler and an elite athlete you know, in 661 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 3: Osaman and finisher. So the two of those guys, man, 662 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 3: that's a better winger striker partnership than Venetias and whatever 663 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 3: Real Madrid's thrown out there right now, and Venetias is 664 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 3: already dealing with an injury, so that could matter. I 665 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 3: do expect him to be back in more than enough 666 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 3: time for that matchup, because they're going to play the 667 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 3: second and fifth match weeks. But in a group where 668 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 3: I really don't really think brag is any good. Unyoon 669 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 3: will be annoying as hell to play, but I don't 670 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 3: think that defense holds up. 671 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 2: I think that that's gonna be the biggest thing of this. 672 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna talk about unjy in a lot 673 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 3: this year and how great they were defensively last year. 674 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 3: I just don't know how sustainable that is, given with 675 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: what league they play in. So I think there's gonna 676 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 3: be some defensive regression for Unon. You even saw in 677 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 3: Europe last year. I mean, their defense wasn't as good 678 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 3: in Europe as it was in the Bundesliga. So I 679 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 3: think that this is a pretty straightforward group. You know, 680 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 3: maybe Unyoon pulls an upset, but for me, if if 681 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 3: you can find I don't think any markets are having it, 682 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 3: but if you can find to finish last. I like 683 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 3: Braga there especially like even up against Unjon. I think 684 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 3: Unyo is a better, much better team. But from a 685 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 3: betting perspective, I just thin Napoli plus two forty is 686 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: a bit short. I expected them to be a slight dog, 687 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 3: not a big to real Madrid group d I. 688 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: Think this is what you'd call the opposite of the 689 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: group of Death, the softest group when you look top 690 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: to bottom, the group of life, the group of life, 691 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: and I'm pretty excited to play this one. Inter is 692 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: odds on slightly minus one twenty five, Benfica plus two 693 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: to fifty. Then we have real Associate Dodd from the 694 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: Basque Country there plus five fifty and RB Salzburg coming 695 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: Champions League mainstays lately they are eight to one. I 696 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: likes Socio DoD to top the group here. I think 697 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: that this thing is wide open. Yeah, Intern deserves to 698 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: be a favorite, but of all the favorites, Like, what 699 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: would the price be on Arsenal in this group, it 700 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: would be minus what two twenty five or so, maybe 701 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: even little shorter. This is this thing's wide open. It's 702 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: just the perfect group to go after a long shot, 703 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: and I'd rather plays Sociodd who I think has a 704 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: has more legs to pull the upset and top of 705 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: the group than Salzburg. Considering how just how good this 706 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: defense was in La Lego last year, and it's a 707 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: settled squad. Same manager has been there forever. I think 708 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: what twenty eighteen he's been there for. This is the 709 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: team we've liked. I think he was a guy. Did 710 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: he replace David Moyes. That's how long he's been there. 711 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: So they kind of just took a lot of the 712 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: boxes for a team that I'd want it back to 713 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: be there when the dust settles, because there should be 714 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: a lot of dust in a group like this. Any 715 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: team could beat any of the other ones on any 716 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: given match day. Anthony, I know you're coming with me here. 717 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Benfica's coming down the mountain. You know, 718 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 3: last year Benfica was the team that we all backed 719 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 3: and said, like, how are they plus three fifty two 720 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 3: advance in a group with PSG and Juventus and we 721 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 3: rode the Benfica train. But now they lose you know, 722 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 3: Nunia's two summers ago and Ramos this summer, and they've 723 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 3: kind of lost a ton of talent here, and I think, 724 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 3: as much as I love Roger Schmid, I think that 725 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 3: there is regression looming for this Benfica team, and thus 726 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 3: I'm looking to play against them. I think Enters a 727 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 3: clearly better team. They showed that in the Champions League 728 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 3: last year, and I think that, you know, Benfica and 729 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 3: Socia DoD are pretty much on equal footing for me 730 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 3: in terms of true talent. You know, Soci Dad have 731 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 3: had a slow start in the season, but a lot 732 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 3: of that has come down to injuries. They've had to 733 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 3: play a couple of matches without their their best players 734 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 3: and as a result have not been very good. But 735 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 3: this is a a Benfica team that has lost enough 736 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 3: for me to be kind of just generally out on 737 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 3: them overall. 738 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: And you knew that they were going to be over 739 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: at them and Enter a little bit right inter just 740 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: went to the final. Benfica was a cinderre l last year. 741 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: They're going to be a little charged, a little bit 742 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: of a premium, especially in a group like this, so 743 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: and like, I'd much rather play the team with the 744 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: defensive record that Socio Dad than what could be a 745 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 1: young upstart from Salzburg. Who could you lose six to 746 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: one to any team in this competition but also win 747 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: three three nail against them. So we'll be on Socia 748 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: Dodd here. BJ You're going in a different direction. 749 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 4: Though, Yeah, I like Nentwered to win this group of 750 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 4: minus one twelve. I think the Price is a tad 751 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 4: short team that's coming off a Champions League final, And 752 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 4: you know, you look at the center team comparatively to 753 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 4: what the team they were last year, and I'm asking 754 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,479 Speaker 4: the question. You know, Anthony made a great point about 755 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 4: Benefica and what they've lost and kind of how they've 756 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 4: are coming down the mountain. And even if you look 757 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 4: at Benefico last season, you know, a lot of their 758 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 4: great numbers are for half a season with Enzo Fernandez 759 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 4: and then also a full season again Salo Ramos. Now 760 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 4: they don't really have a true striker that can give 761 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 4: them to the type of production that Ramos did. And 762 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 4: even if you look at their results in Portugal, like, yes, 763 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 4: they were close to a one point seven actually differential 764 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 4: for ninety like for much of the season, like that's 765 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 4: incredibly impressive. But when you look at their matches against Sporting, 766 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 4: against Porto and against Braga. They only won two of 767 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 4: those six matches, and they only had a plus three 768 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 4: expected gold differential in those matches, so it's a lot 769 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 4: of stat padding against you know, the rest of Portugal, 770 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 4: which is a steep, steep drop off between those over 771 00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 4: those top four teams. Enter just signed benjam Bavarred to 772 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,720 Speaker 4: replace Screener. I know he's not gonna play the central 773 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 4: center back role, but they obviously lose Onnana, but interns 774 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,919 Speaker 4: on a team that needs to play out of the back. 775 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 4: You know, they play out of three five two. They're 776 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 4: a team that's much much better playing direct playing in transition. 777 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 4: They still have Laterro Martinez, they have the same midfield, 778 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 4: the same wing backs, and they went inside Anthony's boy 779 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 4: Torom to play up top with Martinez and it's and 780 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 4: it's been a great partnership so far. I mean inters 781 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 4: often running in Syria. Three matches in eight nothing and 782 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 4: they just pounded for Orententina for nothing three point seven 783 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 4: expected goals. I think this team is still really really 784 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 4: good and shouldn't you know, be priced this low against 785 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 4: what Benefica is. And I agree with you guys, I 786 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 4: do like associate ad to advance, but I think the 787 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 4: talent level comparatively between them and Inter it's it's pretty steep. 788 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 4: So I do like Inter minus one twelve. I think 789 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 4: the price is just a little too short on a 790 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 4: team that talent wise has much much more talent than 791 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 4: both Benefica an soci dentist group in Salzburg. It's the 792 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 4: same story every single season. Yes, they will be in 793 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,479 Speaker 4: the Champions League every single year, but they will also 794 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 4: get raided every single year because they are a feeder 795 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 4: club to RB Leipzig and other clubs around the world, 796 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 4: where they just bring in the nineteen twenty year old 797 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 4: sensations and then if they hit for one season, then 798 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 4: they're gone. You see no okaphors nowadaysy Milan Cesco is 799 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 4: now at RB Leipzig, So there you go. There's your 800 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 4: two best attackers gone. So I don't think that much 801 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 4: of a shot in this group. 802 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 2: They will always be fun though, they gonna be young, 803 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 2: the be tough to beat. 804 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 4: They'll always they'll always go for it. They will never get. 805 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 2: A good dogged back at home. I mean, this is 806 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 2: the most I think that's fair. 807 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 3: You know, the group of life conversation about like how 808 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 3: this group is most balanced, I think it's a good point, 809 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 3: but I do agree that enters clearly the class. Benfika 810 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 3: to me, just like Arthur Cabrals is the guy that's 811 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 3: gonna happen, Like he wasn't even the first choice at Fiorentina, 812 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 3: like so they just lost a lot at some point. 813 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 3: It's you have to Group DES also feels like it 814 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 3: like they were so good defensively last year, and it 815 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 3: just like given how Schmid plays, there's so aggressive. I 816 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 3: think that there's real regression coming there and you're already 817 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 3: you're you're kind of seeing it in Portugal, like they've 818 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 3: can seeded over one XG the last two two three matches, 819 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 3: So maybe there's some signs of progression there out on Benfica. 820 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: Interer for PJ, Socia Da for Antony and myself different ways, 821 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: Group E. This is where our our buddy Diego Simioni 822 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: is going to be applying his trade, his at letty 823 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: or minus one sixty three favorites to win it. Lazio 824 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: three to one, fine Ord six to one, it's Celtic 825 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: nine to one. We donated so much money on a group. 826 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 4: Of vomit or something like that. 827 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 2: I may don't disrespect find we the nord. 828 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 4: Okay, can I talk about find for a second, because 829 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 4: I know Anthony likes them to advance here. I think 830 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 4: there's some I think there's some problems with them, especially 831 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 4: going into these first couple of Bash weeks. Because Santiago Jomnez, 832 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 4: their best striker, is going to be suspended for two matches. 833 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 4: That's not great. Their starting goalkeeper is going to be 834 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 4: injured until the beginning of November. That's not great. They 835 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,720 Speaker 4: just lost the Era de VS player of the season 836 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 4: in Kochu, who's now off to Benefica. Their midfielders solidity there, 837 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 4: that's not really great. I want to fade Lazio like 838 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 4: everybody else, right, I mean that we've been talking about 839 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 4: them so much on this podcast. They did retool a 840 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 4: little bit this summer, but still, I mean, it's not 841 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 4: enough to make up for the amount of negative regression 842 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 4: that's coming for them. I've let it go minus one 843 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 4: seventy five to win this group, and I saw that, 844 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 4: I kind of laughed. I was just like, really, they're 845 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 4: that long to win this group, so no no chance 846 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,439 Speaker 4: in hell I'm playing that. And then so I went 847 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 4: and I looked at Celtic guys, know the manager of 848 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 4: the Celtic right. 849 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 1: Now, Brog Brendan Rodgers. 850 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 4: B Rog, He's back, He's beat Celtic host Koblu set up, 851 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 4: set him up perfectly to continue the style of play, 852 00:40:55,040 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 4: continue to play this high pressing intensity style throughout Scotland 853 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 4: and hopefully that it would translate into the Champions League, 854 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 4: which last year, if you remember, Celtic just got caught 855 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 4: on the rise to the wrong side of variants in 856 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 4: a few matches and they really could have got through 857 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 4: that group. But everything we know about Brenton Rodgers is 858 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 4: he wants to play slow, pragmatic build up style, build 859 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 4: out of the back and a lot of short passing 860 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 4: combinations to get the ball moving up the field. Not 861 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 4: really the post Koglu like one touch, let's go, let's 862 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 4: get the ball moving forward. I highly doubt that's going 863 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 4: to work in this group. You know, they lose Joe 864 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 4: Touch to the Saudi League, they still have a lot 865 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 4: of their great attackers through Hashi is still there, good 866 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 4: solidity in the midfield and experienced center backs as well. 867 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 4: So I thought about playing Celtic, but I think the 868 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 4: way to attack this group because fy and RD is 869 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 4: going to be dealing with those injuries and suspensions, also 870 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 4: trying to retool and replace one of their best players. 871 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:59,359 Speaker 4: I think waiting is the best possible outcome for them, 872 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,399 Speaker 4: and seeing what happens after their first two matches and 873 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 4: then playing them to advance right after that, because plus 874 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 4: one fifty, I think it is a little short considering 875 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 4: you know, they're gonna play Celtic and Athletic Co Madrid 876 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 4: to begin this and then once they get Santiago Amnez back, 877 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 4: they have back to back matches against Lazio, and I 878 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 4: think that's where you can attack fine Ord and really 879 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 4: get them through this group. So I'm gonna wait and 880 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 4: play fine Ord to advance after their first two. 881 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: Matches, and Anthony or I've got nothing in this group. 882 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,399 Speaker 1: I was tempted by Celtic, but I'll probably just play 883 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: them game to game, but they just hurt me too much. 884 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 1: Last year. That Real Madrid match to open was just insane. Anthony, 885 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: what do you have? 886 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'm a little worried about Jimenez because 887 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 3: of the suspension certainly lowers their attacking output. This is 888 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,760 Speaker 3: a guy that was monitored by Man United in Brighton 889 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 3: this summer. 890 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 2: Like the big clubs. 891 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 3: Were calling, and the big clubs were called for Arnie 892 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 3: Slot to come and be the next manager. I mean 893 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 3: Tottenham had him on the short list. So I think 894 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 3: that that gives you kind of an indication of what 895 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,400 Speaker 3: Finnoord has become in the Dutch League. And and I 896 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 3: think that they're absolutely poised to be dangerous in this group. 897 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 3: This is a team that, you know, for large stretches 898 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 3: of the match against Roma in the first leg, was 899 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 3: the better side in the in the Europa League group 900 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 3: stage first round last year, Uh, they pretty much rolled through, 901 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 3: uh the group stage. You know, they had some defensive issues, 902 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 3: but they bolsted up their defense, brought a new left 903 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 3: back in Hartman, and a new center back and Hanko. 904 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 3: And I do still like this midfield duo with with 905 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 3: Weafer and Timber like they're they're good enough. Uh. And 906 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 3: then you know with with Jimenez, like they're gonna be 907 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 3: really tough out. So I know they're not gonna hap 908 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 3: him for the first two matches, but I'm still backing 909 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 3: the Nord and I trust the manager and trusted this team. 910 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 3: So in a group where there's three teams, I really 911 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 3: don't like, you know, I think it's a huge jump 912 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 3: up for Celtics, and we kind of saw that at 913 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 3: parts of last year's group stage. And then you know, 914 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 3: I let the and Lazzio, two teams that you know 915 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 3: I have no love lost for. I'm going to back 916 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,799 Speaker 3: the Nord and to h to advance here. I did 917 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 3: not bet them to win the group because the suspensions 918 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 3: are certainly concerned. But they spend a lot of money 919 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 3: this summer too. People forget like they went out and spent, 920 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 3: So I think this is a real team. I don't 921 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,399 Speaker 3: think they're necessarily going to fall off the way I'm 922 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 3: concerned about, like say a psv uh. And thus I 923 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 3: will I'll back them again, be the Nord. 924 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,240 Speaker 1: I give it, I give it to We'll say Christmas 925 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: before you're all in at Letty this year. 926 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 2: Anti, I just I just don't think I ever will be. 927 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 1: Now we'll see. 928 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 3: I look if if they become like this defensive juggernaut again. 929 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 3: And that's the thing like so many of these with 930 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 3: the world in general in England has driven this is 931 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 3: there's been so much of a tilt toward attacking via 932 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 3: tactics and how managers are setting their teams up and 933 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,760 Speaker 3: and there's less stout defending. 934 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:03,839 Speaker 2: In Europe right now than there's ever been. 935 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 3: I'd argue, even like a Barcelona every time they go on, 936 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 3: every time they go into Europe to get destroyed transition 937 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 3: that I could respect in Lati if they wanted to 938 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 3: do that, but they're not going to. 939 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 2: They're not doing that. 940 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see, I mean, we'll see if it works. 941 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 3: Will I will never bet I let you win the 942 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 3: Champions League this season. 943 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: Never, I don't care. 944 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 2: You guys will never convince me of that. 945 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: All right, uh Group F this is the group of 946 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: Death PSG. Understatement, Yeah, it's probably the best we've ever seen. 947 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 1: Group F is has PF PSG at the top. But 948 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: they are the only favorite that is an odds on 949 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,399 Speaker 1: in the entire tournament. They're plus one ten to win 950 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: the set. Newcastle plus two twenty five looks a little 951 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: like a lot of respect for for the Magpies. I think, 952 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,240 Speaker 1: uh Ace Malan five to one, Dortmund plus five point fifty. 953 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 1: I think that you could make an argument for basically 954 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,359 Speaker 1: any team. It's hard. I guess we're Dortmund right now. 955 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: But Newcastle to me looks like the the worst price 956 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: of the bunch. I'm gonna be going against them, I 957 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: think a lot in this Champions League. I think people 958 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: were were just itching to like label them at dark 959 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: horse in this competition. And and then the draw came 960 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: out and nobody stopped doing it, like it's like it's 961 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: this price is crazy. I think. 962 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 3: Well, I could see like if they weren't pots and 963 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 3: they got drawn like Byron, PSG and BARSA, we'd be like, well, 964 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 3: you know they're pretty good, right, I know it's good. 965 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 1: Right, Like that's the thing like this this this, the 966 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: price is what's killing me here. 967 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 3: Uh well, it actually moved a lot the market, so 968 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 3: there were some openers. There were some soft openers, to 969 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 3: be fair, but most books opened like PSG right around 970 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 3: where they are, Dortmund and Newcastle kind of in the 971 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,320 Speaker 3: middle ish like three P fifty range, and then Milan 972 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 3: was the clear like fourth team. 973 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the. 974 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 3: Market has kind of gone where I would have gone 975 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 3: on that, which is like Newcastle's probably closer to PSG 976 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 3: and Doormand is probably closer to Milan. And you could 977 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 3: actually make a case I think that Milan should be 978 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 3: ahead of Dormant. 979 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 4: They are starting to get there in some books. 980 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and now they are. 981 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know the market's caught on here. I 982 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:34,879 Speaker 3: just throw my hands up in the air and say, 983 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 3: hope PSG advances. Maybe, I guess I hope they win 984 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 3: the group since I just met them in the Champions League. 985 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 3: But Newcastle does set up well to beat Dortmund. 986 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 1: Man, I think that that's the. 987 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 3: Well. 988 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 2: If they beat dormand they just need to beat Milan, 989 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 2: I still think they're better than Milan too. 990 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't think it. It's it's this. They 991 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: should be this short to win the group, is what 992 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't know, it just seems a little crazy. 993 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: I mean, even like their their big picture future. They 994 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,879 Speaker 1: were what twenty two to one to win the Champions League, 995 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 1: and they drifted a little bit after being joined into 996 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 1: this set. Yeah, that's what would What would the market 997 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: have done in that? What would that market have done 998 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,880 Speaker 1: if they were drawn into uh what is it with 999 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 1: the group d with inter As, Sociodod and Salzburg right Like, 1000 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: they would have been like sixteen to one or fourteen 1001 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: to one. So I just I think that there's a 1002 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 1: lot of peril for them to not get through here, 1003 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,920 Speaker 1: and we're starting to maybe see some cracks in the 1004 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 1: armor in the Premier League Castle, Yeah yeah. 1005 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,800 Speaker 3: I mean they lost the City, They lost the City 1006 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 3: on the road. 1007 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 2: They lost to. 1008 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 3: Brighton on the road, right, yeah, And they had like 1009 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,360 Speaker 3: a pretty performance against Newcastle against Liverpool and then like 1010 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 3: collapsed in like five minutes. 1011 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,880 Speaker 2: I go, yeah, I mean they lost. 1012 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: You could you could You can tell me that. Okay, 1013 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: they kind of teams who play in the Champions League 1014 00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: all the time. 1015 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can tell me they lost the three 1016 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 3: best teams in the league. And I wouldn't necessarily betterny like 1017 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 3: I would say, yeah. 1018 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but when you watch it, Like when you watch 1019 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: I think when you say that, right and then you 1020 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,880 Speaker 1: look at how they lost in those games, you'd be like, Okay, 1021 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: maybe there's some issues here. I think like if if 1022 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: Tottenham had lost those matches in that fashion, you'd be like, 1023 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: I'm out, not. 1024 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,399 Speaker 2: Really, That's why I think Tottenham is too. 1025 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 3: I would say, like, well, I hope they play some 1026 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 3: teams that are like a little worse so we get 1027 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 3: a better better. I mean, they also beat Villa by 1028 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,399 Speaker 3: like four on opening Day and like destroyed them, right. 1029 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's aston Villa, Like that's asked Villa. They 1030 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 1: played him at home, like you're playing in the that's. 1031 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 2: Like an average team. 1032 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:37,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're playing. 1033 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 2: How much better is Villa versus like a Doorman or 1034 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 2: New Villa. 1035 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,800 Speaker 1: Would Villa would be a longer price than both Milan 1036 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 1: and Dortmund in this group. 1037 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they be that much longer though, 1038 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 3: that's case. 1039 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: I think that this this is here's I think you have. 1040 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 2: A case from Milan. I'm curious what it is and. 1041 00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,439 Speaker 1: I think that Yeah, I agree with him too, because 1042 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: I think they the second team you have to beat 1043 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,959 Speaker 1: in this group is not crazy good. 1044 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 4: I think Anthony's poop puod Mamalan enough on the show. 1045 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 4: And I think it's unfair because if you look through 1046 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 4: the Champions League last year, like they were good, like 1047 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 4: they didn't luck box their way into the Semis, like 1048 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 4: they had an incredibly convincing win over Napoli in that 1049 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 4: first leg, they convincingly won against Tottenham, and then they 1050 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 4: kind of saw it out obviously against against Napoli, and 1051 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 4: then yes they were the worst side against Inter but 1052 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 4: especially in this group. Okay, yes, ac Milan, they lose Tenaloe, 1053 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,799 Speaker 4: they lose bre Mdaz and those were two of their 1054 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,280 Speaker 4: more important players last season. But I like the signings 1055 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 4: that they've made this summer to retool their midfield and attack, 1056 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 4: Like Polosi is looking great, Chiqueze coming over from Via 1057 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,919 Speaker 4: Real is a great signing Musa and Rubin Loft's cheek 1058 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 4: gives them really good solidity in their midfield. Like, I 1059 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 4: think this team is very, very good. And if what 1060 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 4: we saw from Pioli last season is that he can 1061 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,760 Speaker 4: set his team up in a good solid low block 1062 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 4: and play in transition, which is exactly what you need 1063 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 4: to do against teams like Dortmund and PSG. And then 1064 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 4: obviously you know it's Newcastle, it'll be whatever. But the 1065 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,359 Speaker 4: case here, I'm kind of in the middle between you 1066 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,920 Speaker 4: two on Newcastle, Like I think the greyth Michael, I 1067 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 4: think the price a little crazy here on Newcastle. I 1068 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 4: don't think that they should be. 1069 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 1: It was always going to be like That's that's my argument. 1070 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,520 Speaker 1: It was like always going to be. It was like 1071 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 1: people couldn't wait for this and to make them the 1072 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,520 Speaker 1: short pret I'm gonna raise my hand because you were 1073 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: if you were in the discord with us during the 1074 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 1: draw once they drew PSG and Dortman into that group, 1075 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,879 Speaker 1: I was like, please put Newcastle in this troop because 1076 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 1: I thought they were just gonna rip them apart. But 1077 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 1: they threw Milan in here, which kind of throws a 1078 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: wrench into everything. I was kind of hoping they throw 1079 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 1: a third team nobody in there to where it's like, okay, 1080 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 1: they throw like a you know, a Royal Antwerp or 1081 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: a Shaktar in there, where it's like okay, you know, 1082 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,320 Speaker 1: fourth place is pretty much locked up. Now it's just 1083 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,880 Speaker 1: a battle to see who's in advance, and you know, 1084 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: hoping you can get new Castle out a decent. 1085 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 4: Number now in the group of death. I don't really 1086 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 4: know what to do with them at this price, and 1087 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,440 Speaker 4: I'll probably probably what I'll end up being doing is 1088 00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,759 Speaker 4: just playing them an individual match basis, and I kind 1089 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 4: of want to see how they do in the Premier League. 1090 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,279 Speaker 4: They've obviously had the toughest schedule of anybody to begin 1091 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,360 Speaker 4: the season, and it's almost a benefit to them because 1092 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,959 Speaker 4: once we reach the Champions League stage of this, they're 1093 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,759 Speaker 4: going to be playing some of the bottom half of 1094 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 4: the teams in the Premier League, so they can really 1095 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 4: really focus on the Champions League. They don't have to 1096 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 4: you know, play a Champions League match on Wednesday, they like, 1097 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 4: oh crap, we got Liverpool at home on Sunday or 1098 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:25,759 Speaker 4: you know the way on Sunday. So I think it's 1099 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 4: a good benefit to them in this group stage. So 1100 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 4: that's the case you could make for Newcastle. But as 1101 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 4: we've seen when they're playing these better teams and you know, 1102 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,719 Speaker 4: it's they should have won the match against Liverpool, like 1103 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 4: going to going to City, they really you know, that's 1104 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 4: the one team that they can't press and they can't 1105 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 4: you know, actually cause problems against. And then obviously going 1106 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 4: on the road to Brighton is always a very difficult 1107 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 4: environment and their press really wasn't that great in that 1108 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 4: match either. But it is, you know, we're four matches 1109 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 4: into the season, so it's little. I think it's a 1110 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 4: little bit of an overreaction for a team that's played 1111 00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 4: the toughest schedule, But yeah, you cannot bet them at 1112 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:04,360 Speaker 4: this price. So can Dortmund. I mean, Bellingham was everything 1113 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:08,520 Speaker 4: to them last season, like absolutely everything, and losing a Guerrero, 1114 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 4: losing both of their production is just massive. Now you 1115 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 4: can make the case like hey, Dortmand didn't really have 1116 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 4: a true number nine last season, that's how they struggled. 1117 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 4: And then once hol Air came in, you know, if 1118 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,320 Speaker 4: he hits this season, Like, yes, maybe Dortmann can become 1119 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 4: an offensive threat. But like they've struggled out of the 1120 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,200 Speaker 4: gates in the Bundesliga two draws against Bokum and Heidenheim 1121 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 4: too relegation fodder teams, Like that's not great. So yeah, 1122 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 4: like Anthony said, the market has moved to the point 1123 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 4: where Dortmann is now the longest shot in this group, 1124 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 4: which is probably true. But at Milan at five to one, 1125 00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 4: a team that has shown in the Champions League, who 1126 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 4: really kept their entire squad together outside of a couple 1127 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,440 Speaker 4: of people, they still have Layout, who is one of 1128 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 4: the best wingers in the world. Jerude is just aging 1129 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 4: like fine wine. He's still a great striker, still looking, 1130 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,279 Speaker 4: still looking incredibly handsome up there at age thirty with 1131 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 4: thirty six. Now, I like the Sacy Milan team. I 1132 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 4: think tactically they set up very very well. They're very 1133 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 4: very good in the middle of the pitch winning those duels, 1134 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 4: and I think there'll be a big time problem, especially 1135 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 4: against a PSG team, which I'm very interested to see 1136 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:12,759 Speaker 4: PSG when they play Newcastle and Milan because what we've 1137 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 4: known from Luis Enrique for a long time with Spain 1138 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,919 Speaker 4: is that they want to have so much possession that 1139 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 4: the out of possession stuff is really bad. And we've 1140 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,799 Speaker 4: seen that throughout the World Cup, and you know with 1141 00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 4: Spain and the Euros as well, is it going to 1142 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 4: be that bad at PSG as well? I think they 1143 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 4: have the talent and the center backs and the midfield 1144 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 4: to potentially rectify some of those transitional problems. But we'll 1145 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 4: see if they are just as bad as we've seen 1146 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,839 Speaker 4: with the Lease Enrique Spain teams. It's going to make 1147 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,440 Speaker 4: Milan and the Newcastle very very live underdogs when they 1148 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 4: play PSG. 1149 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: All right, Group G. I don't think we need to 1150 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,080 Speaker 1: spend much time talking about We already talked Aboutleipzig Anthey 1151 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: and I. 1152 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 4: I like City at minus six hundred to win this 1153 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 4: group for twelve units. 1154 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 3: Mike, that's interesting because I actually at the minus one 1155 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 3: one bajillion to advance. 1156 00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I just put it. 1157 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,200 Speaker 3: I just put I just parlayed it with if you 1158 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 3: want the Brisbane Lion a. 1159 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,280 Speaker 1: Big game on Saturday night. We're recording this on Thursday. 1160 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 1: Funny story Saturday morning. I guess. 1161 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,360 Speaker 3: So I was at the US Open with Michael last 1162 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 3: Monday and we walked we're walking off a court to 1163 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,240 Speaker 3: go to another court, and he we passed this older 1164 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:29,880 Speaker 3: gentleman wearing some kind of hat Adelaide Crows, and he 1165 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 3: really goes, oh, that's an Adelaide Crow's hat and walks 1166 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,240 Speaker 3: like twenty feet back in the opposite direction to stop 1167 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,879 Speaker 3: the guy and then have a five minute conversation about 1168 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,280 Speaker 3: the Adelaide Crows and how they got screwed last weekend 1169 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 3: in the AFL. And I'm just standing there like sweating 1170 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 3: my ass off, like what is this guy doing? 1171 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 1: You should look it up because it was maybe the 1172 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:57,800 Speaker 1: craziest reffing mistake I've ever seen, and considering the stakes, 1173 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 1: like they would have made the playoff if essentially a 1174 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 1: field goal that went through the uprights was called no 1175 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:10,759 Speaker 1: good and nobody stopped it and they have r So 1176 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what there was something going on there. Anyways, 1177 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,400 Speaker 1: we'll save that for our AFL Grand Final podcast in 1178 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Group G like I said, we'll 1179 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: just breeze through the city minus one thousand to win it. 1180 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: Leipzig six plus six fifty Red Star Belgrade sixty six 1181 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 1: to one. Young Boys also sixty six to one. Anthony 1182 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,280 Speaker 1: and I talked about Leipzig. We like them, big picture stuff. 1183 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 1: Sixty six to one, I think is a really good 1184 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: number on this team because they should get through without 1185 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: an issue. That's how I would play it. 1186 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 3: Belgrade at home a couple of times, maybe. 1187 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. 1188 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 4: I think we'll probably you know somebody who's been on 1189 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 4: the Belgrade train for the last two seasons on this podcast. 1190 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 4: In the Europa League, like I keep saying it, like 1191 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 4: they every single year they put up a plus one 1192 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,320 Speaker 4: point five actually differential in the Serbian League. It just 1193 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 4: keeps happening year after year after year. And yeah, the 1194 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 4: Serbian League is like equivalent to you know, Denmark or 1195 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,600 Speaker 4: Grease or you know that level. But the old adage 1196 00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 4: in the Champions League, Michael is if you can't do 1197 00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,200 Speaker 4: it in your domestic league, what makes you think you're 1198 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 4: gonna do in the Champions League. Well, if you can 1199 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 4: do it in your domestic league, gives you a shot 1200 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,160 Speaker 4: here in the Champions League. Are they gonna do it here? 1201 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:20,360 Speaker 3: No? 1202 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 4: So maybe play them as an underdog A couple of 1203 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 4: times maybe against Sleipzig is. 1204 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: A fascinating club to just kind of read about better 1205 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: than young boys though, so I'll be very interested to 1206 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 1: see what the price is on that when they play. 1207 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:40,920 Speaker 1: And finally, Group h also pretty straightforward here, great show 1208 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 1: off for Porto Barcelona minus two seventy five, port to 1209 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,920 Speaker 1: plus two seventy five, Shaktar twenty to one, and Antwerp 1210 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 1: twenty two to one. Bja you you this is We 1211 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 1: haven't gotten to your the second leg of your Group 1212 00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,160 Speaker 1: Winner Part life. So I'm assuming that it's one of 1213 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 1: these four teams, and I'm gonna guess it's not Antwerp. 1214 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 4: I know everybody's been on the edge of their seats 1215 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 4: this entire podcast, just waiting for it. 1216 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Arsenal Barten forgotten you said earlier. 1217 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,520 Speaker 4: I'm sure everybody already has Barcelona hosts. 1218 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,840 Speaker 1: It's all about the callbacks and Artol Johnson to the AFL. 1219 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 4: Group parlay to win the group parlay Arsenal Barcelona at 1220 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 4: plus one fifteen. I just don't see Barcelona really getting 1221 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 4: threatened in this group. You know, shock Tart and Royal 1222 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 4: Antwerp are are massive steps below even Porto in this group. 1223 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:35,160 Speaker 4: In Porto. They didn't really lose much this summer, so 1224 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 4: like you could make the argument like maybe they'll be 1225 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,959 Speaker 4: pesky like they've always been here in the Champions League, 1226 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 4: you know, playing in that low block. But if you 1227 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 4: look at Porto's midfield, it's it's pretty barren and Barcelona, 1228 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 4: especially with their midfield, is going to absolutely run them over. 1229 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 4: They did keep Taremi despite a lot of interest from 1230 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,080 Speaker 4: around Europe, which is a positive for Porto. You know, 1231 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 4: they'll still have the same center back pairing. Costa is 1232 00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,400 Speaker 4: still in goal, so it's still a very good team 1233 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 4: that's going to be very effective in their low block. 1234 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 4: But again, Barcelona, like I've already said, is a top 1235 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 4: four team in the world and they should really not 1236 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,440 Speaker 4: be threatened in this group. And quite frankly, I think 1237 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 4: the price on them should be closer to minus three 1238 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 4: fifty minus three seventy five to win this group, as 1239 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 4: opposed to the minus two seventy range. So parlaying them 1240 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 4: with Arsenal, two teams that I think have the easiest 1241 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 4: walk through these groups that's not named Manchester City, I 1242 00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 4: think is a decent price at plus one fifteen. 1243 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,760 Speaker 3: Borto parendially undervalued as an underdog in these groups, I think, 1244 00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 3: and I think that it's just the you know, the 1245 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 3: the defensive organization that they always have under Concio and 1246 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 3: how that plays for them, and the fact that they 1247 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 3: do not consistently you know, flash They're not a flashy team, 1248 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,200 Speaker 3: so they don't get raided, you know, they don't have 1249 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,240 Speaker 3: all these like dynamic attackers all the time, and then 1250 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:55,920 Speaker 3: it's like, oh, we lost them all, we got to 1251 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 3: go find new ones. They're just consistent, like the midfield's 1252 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 3: always good, the defense is always good. They've had their 1253 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 3: beatdown losses, but they're consistently underrated, and I think they're 1254 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:06,840 Speaker 3: gonna give Barsa some real trouble in this group because 1255 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,000 Speaker 3: I just don't like I like Barsa a lot. 1256 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 2: I think that. 1257 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:14,040 Speaker 3: Barsa's flaws exist and they've consistently existed under Jobby, and 1258 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 3: that scares me not enough to the point where I 1259 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 3: trust Porto against these two bottom teams to get enough 1260 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 3: points to win this group. But I think that they're 1261 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,320 Speaker 3: gonna give Barsa everything they want. 1262 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,680 Speaker 2: So I looked I'll. 1263 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 3: Probably just play Porto a couple of times against Barsa, 1264 01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 3: catching big numbers and then hope that they can get 1265 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,040 Speaker 3: a result or too, and Barcia still wins the group 1266 01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 3: for Bja's ticket. 1267 01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:37,520 Speaker 4: Thank you. 1268 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 1: That's very nice of you. What a what a good 1269 01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 1: way to end this podcast. A little good will? All right, 1270 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 1: if you've been listening to us, you know we'll we'll 1271 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: win the Champions League. Fires up? Oh, actually before we 1272 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 1: head out of here, Europa League, real quick, BJ do 1273 01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:54,400 Speaker 1: you have anything I do? 1274 01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 4: I have one thing and what I will tell people 1275 01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 4: about betting Europa League futures to begin with is if 1276 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 4: there's a long shot that you really like, I would 1277 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,320 Speaker 4: play out right now if like I think the age 1278 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,280 Speaker 4: old question, I think anybody on this it was listening 1279 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 4: to this podcast is probably wondering like do I bet 1280 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 4: Brighton at fourteen to one? No is the answer to 1281 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,520 Speaker 4: that question, because they have been put in a very 1282 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,360 Speaker 4: difficult group and actually like the longest shot in that 1283 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,360 Speaker 4: group to get out of it, which is aek Athens. 1284 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 4: They're in a group obviously with Brighton, Marseille and i 1285 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,560 Speaker 4: AX aek Athens was a team I was just chopping 1286 01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 4: at the bit to target plus one point six to 1287 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,640 Speaker 4: two expect a gold differential in the Greek Super League 1288 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 4: last season, and the Greek super League is not you know, 1289 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 4: a bottom you know twenty league in Europe like it 1290 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,760 Speaker 4: is actually a halfway decent league. I mean, Olympiakos is 1291 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,560 Speaker 4: in the Europa League group stage here, Penethonakos is also 1292 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 4: here as well, and you know Penetanakos also knocked out 1293 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 4: Marseille in Champions League qualification. So Marseille in this group 1294 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,600 Speaker 4: with their problems, and you look at Marseille as well. 1295 01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:58,680 Speaker 4: You know, I've always you know been against them and 1296 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 4: really have you know, hated them for a very long time. 1297 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 4: They're going through a little bit of a transitional period now. 1298 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,240 Speaker 4: Like if you look at last season, like their most 1299 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,520 Speaker 4: productive attacker was Alexi Sanchez who had like fifteen goals 1300 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 4: for them, nobody else really produced more than six or seven, 1301 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,840 Speaker 4: you know, check he under he was their next best 1302 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,680 Speaker 4: productive attacker and he's now off defender bot Chase. So 1303 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:25,000 Speaker 4: you know, they obviously bring in Ishmael Assar and h 1304 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:29,200 Speaker 4: and Die from Sheffield United and Obama eyeing to release 1305 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 4: all of that. But they're going through a new manager 1306 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:32,960 Speaker 4: in a transitional period, so I think it's going to 1307 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 4: be very difficult for them. And then I acts they 1308 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 4: got raided again. You know, Kudu's gone, Alvarez gone timbergone. 1309 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,320 Speaker 4: And if you look at i AX last season, yes, 1310 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,880 Speaker 4: they put up great numbers in the area to V say, 1311 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 4: but if you only target their matches against PSV, against 1312 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 4: fayan Oid and against Al Kamar, they didn't win a 1313 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:59,200 Speaker 4: single match against those teams last year. So i AX 1314 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 4: as a team, I'm going to be looking to fade 1315 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,240 Speaker 4: a lot in this group. I believe they open with 1316 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 4: AEK Athens, which I will be on the Greek team 1317 01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 4: in that they are Athens. Is seven to one to 1318 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 4: advance out of this group. I think Brighton wins it 1319 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 4: pretty comfortably, but probably is seven to one for a 1320 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,080 Speaker 4: team that I don't think is that significant of a 1321 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 4: gap between Marseille and i X and the assist Master 1322 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 4: Steven Zuber plays for AK Athens by the way as well. 1323 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:31,400 Speaker 4: So that's my one Europa League future for everybody out there. 1324 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,600 Speaker 3: How did Brighton get a worse tougher group than ours 1325 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,200 Speaker 3: in the Europa League than Arsenal got in the Champions League. 1326 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:42,160 Speaker 4: It's crazy, pretty wild? Oh, very a little underlying thing 1327 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:43,080 Speaker 4: you think going on here? 1328 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,000 Speaker 3: Well, I mean Arsenal have been rigging the Cup draws 1329 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 3: for years and domestically, but now they've done it abroad 1330 01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 3: as well, so very impressive. But yeah, I know Liverpool. 1331 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 3: Liverpool got the biggest joke group ever. 1332 01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:54,560 Speaker 4: I know. 1333 01:03:54,880 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 3: I mean about things to lose lask and Junos Saint 1334 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,680 Speaker 3: Joe Walls who just lost their best player. So I 1335 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,240 Speaker 3: haven't fully dug into Europa League. But I'll bet it 1336 01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 3: here and there in the group stage, maybe like one 1337 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 3: once or twice a week. But it can get wonky 1338 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 3: in Europa League group stage for sure. 1339 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 4: I'll have an entire Europa League big preview. I'll probably 1340 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,160 Speaker 4: wait five thousand words on it, just for everybody out there. 1341 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,560 Speaker 3: Four nine ninety nine too many, Yeah, we need one. 1342 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,000 Speaker 3: It's Brighton fourteen. 1343 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 1: To one, all right. 1344 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:30,880 Speaker 3: I actually don't think they're a good tournament team. I think, 1345 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:31,720 Speaker 3: in fact, i'm out well. 1346 01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 4: Also, just because the team's coming down from the Champions 1347 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 4: League like it, it makes it very hard to bet 1348 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 4: that at fourteen to one, Whereas like, okay, if they 1349 01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 4: accidentally finished second in that group, then it's like here 1350 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,920 Speaker 4: comes Manchester United to play Brighton in the knockout round 1351 01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:45,880 Speaker 4: of sixteen. 1352 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,080 Speaker 1: You know, and that's when we and that's when we 1353 01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:47,640 Speaker 1: bet Brighton. 1354 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,520 Speaker 4: That's when we bet Brighton exactly, although they're probably like 1355 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,560 Speaker 4: a road favorite at that point. It's United. 1356 01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,920 Speaker 1: Okay, let's wrap it up here.
