You're listening to betting weekly live on the bet rivers network Hello everybody welcome into betting weekly live Thursday the 10th of September you are with Steve Whiston James Eastern James you're very often alongside me on a Thursday and normally we're talking Europa League But hmm for one week only the Champions League spreads out over three days So yeah, we have the pleasure of the Champions League action again What have you made of the first two match days? Well the first two game days of the Champions League so far 2027 yeah great to be here and talking about it I've really enjoyed them Steve. I think a lot of people will we were just talking off air there running through some of the major Incidents and issues so far and one of the big ones is how many goals have been you know We've seen some really exciting entertaining open football on the first two match days Are we going to get the same today? Let us know what you think in the comments in the chat very interested here What everybody thinks will be going through the games and looking at them individually but the trends so far
Across those first two match days very much is for goals and it's been great I mean lots of different teams from different countries can make it difficult to know what we're going to get But in terms of the style of play and the goals count It's been pretty much what we saw for a lot of last season in the group stage And I personally think we might be in for something similar today. So let's let's wait and see Yeah Look the goals are just flying in all the time and this has been happening in the in the league phase for the last two seasons as well So it's no real surprise, but it so far it just seems even more mental we've had Asian handicapped lines and goal lines which I described as out of control on yesterday show but they still went over So you know the books are taking no chances now they're kind of daring people almost about the under insert and games But who would want about the under the way that the games are going? Yeah, welcome on everyone into chat so far. How's your Champions League week been so far put your best bets in chat today
I want to welcome everyone new As for normal do consider hitting the subscribe button and keep smashing that like button if you're enjoying what you see on the channel loads of great winners across all platforms at the minute We're gonna start actually James. I want to pick your thoughts about primary sun German Finally got off to you know big win for them yesterday. No real surprise I looked at the minus three and a half and I thought yeah, maybe I should be getting on that and Yeah, they eventually covered it their best soccer seems to be taking place in the spring though these days and Yeah, that's why they've won the Champions League the last two seasons They've kind of had the league wraps up by then as well Yeah, can they go in for the three-peat? Do you think this season or will there be more challenges for them this season around? It's a good question can they go for the three-peats? I think they can and I think they will be there or thereabouts. I would be surprised Yeah, I would be surprised if they don't make the semifinals. I know that's a big call On a team where a lot of players have had very little holiday over the last two summers. They went very deep last summer
In the club World Cup all the way to the final and then a lot of their players have made the last four of the World Cup this summer So it's a it's a big ask for them to go that deep, but I think they've got the players to do it and We know now that Lewis and Riki knows how to manage the minutes of these players Because he did it last season when they when they won it a second time. I have to admit I was skeptical about their Their potential to retain the trophy last season because of fatigue in the camp and they do have a fairly small squad Compared to some of the other top European teams But they did it and for that reason alone I wouldn't write them off Steve I think it's asking a huge amount of this group of players to make it three on the bounce They're good enough to do it, but You tend to be lucky to avoid Major problems three seasons on the run in terms of injuries and suspension So I had you my bets a little bit I see them was a last 14 than the winners, but just on the performance this week obviously they have that big win last night It was coming for me
They haven't won any of their first three games in league one They lost the champions trophy that the French super cup if you like as well But it was coming because they had been playing better In France than their results had suggested so I personally wasn't surprised to see them clear that handicap line And I think what we saw as well is they have bought really well with fair and Taurus in that team He looks extremely comfortable in that team and he takes some of the goal scoring burden off Osman Dembele with with the hatchet that he got we saw that so I think they're in pretty good shape You're right. We will probably only see the best of them in the spring, but You know don't rule them out having another couple of big wins in this group phase because I think they're just starting to get a taste for for the new season now Yeah, I'm not gonna rule them out either But like you I feel like three years in a row might be just asking too much For this group you write something might go wrong a big injury somewhere which they did not really had At the wrong time But listen, they're not a team. You want to oppose either
So I'm interested to see how parents and you might actually get on Before Christmas in domestic league now because you know Monica have started strongly Maybe we might get a title race. I don't know. Let's see how it goes yesterday on the sportsbook some notable winners 200,000 on the blue J's athletics under nine and a half runs minus 110 Feel like I said the same thing yesterday That's two days in the row someone smashed that under 120,000 of the sea orcs minus three against the Patriots push on that one 55,000 sea orcs against Patriots under 44 and a half points easy winner in the NFL there for someone There was a hundred thousand dollar play on the soccer front yesterday It was in MLS. Oh, I'm lucky a night at versus Orlando City over three and a half goals was 105 That was a winner. There we go.

See the bet rivers app or website for more details We'll crack on with the matches today Too early kickoffs as per normal I'm finding it a tough day, but this first match is actually where I've got most of my bets today James funny enough PSV I'm talking again Shaq Tardon yes PSV I'm now they've been backed in here minus two 25 appears V type was 400 Shaq Tard plus 525 I on Tuesday I gave out Shaq Tard 25 to want to finish bottom actually of the league standings Not sure it'll happen, but I think it's over price for what it is Dutch teams. I usually like to oppose them So I'm kind of in a bit of a conflict here because PSV aren't a team and normally like to back too often and I'm not going to back him here I'm looking at a goals angle personally. I think I think over 3.25 goals looks good. There's some playoffs that I like
Though these Dutch teams just seem to be a magnet for goals even more so this season And to be fair PSV usually more reliable at home They should be beating the Shaq Tard team, but Shaq Tard I mean, it's like Brazil FC isn't it Shaq Tard You just don't know what you're going to get with them. They don't obviously have a home at the moment Or Stanford Bridge in the in the Champions League I'm envisioning a home win with with quite a few goals. That's the way I see it But you never know with Shaq Tard's Brazilian steve Yeah, yeah, I like the goals angle. I had a long look at that myself Steve um in the end. I don't have a play on this game But one thing you can say about PSV is they have started the Dutch League season in good scoring form Well in good in good form generally actually they won four and drawn one For people are looking for some of the stats on this game So PSV yeah, they looking pretty good shape domestically They just had a 3-1 away win against iaxe that won't do them any harm going into this game And crucially they've scored 18 goals in their first five
Dutch League games of the season so they are in great scoring form You know average in not so that 3.6 goals a game Um, it's looking pretty good Shaq Tard are also in good league form. I think they won four out of five but Like you they their teams from two of the leagues I'm not that interested in in backing in a way because I think when they do come up against Teams from stronger leagues which obviously they are going to do in the group phase They can get found out Now they're obviously going up against one another here. They're not facing a team from a top league So it makes it a potentially interesting matchup but yeah looking at the price on PSV Which has got shorter minus 205 earlier I wouldn't want to get involved in them even on a parlay at minus 215 and Yeah, the handicap on PSV you're looking to back them at around Well minus one and a quarter goal start if you want to get Close to even money on them now So no pixel place for me, but it's another of the games today
Which looks like it could be an open entertaining and high scoring match So that's waiting to see but yeah, I fully understand you game for the goals here Yeah, that is the biggest bet on the game on the over three Asian total A nearly two thousand dollar play at minus one 54 93% of the money in the over and the market's on the over PSV have 87% of the money on the money line and 79% of the tickets Interesting stat produced a choice and with this one i PSV have lost Each of their last five UCL match day one matches So they don't get off to a good start. Yeah, I mean shaktar money line suddenly people are thinking get on them But for me it's like over 3.25 goals best bet of a day actually I would say for me minus one 12 I'm going to include this in the daily double But I'm going to wash it down to the flat three Asian goal line for a little bit more security But I really like the goals here. I think the player props are actually overpriced here as well The sum match is where I'm disappointed how I think the value is not there, but I think Ricardo peppy to score here plus one 10 for
For PSV and also Rubin van Bommel watch out for this guy the son of Of the old man van Bommel Um plus one 20 to score or assists plus one 15 now Both of these players peppy and van Bommel have been involved in a lot of goals and involving a lot of assists this season And you know PSV with a goal line as it is I'm this could end it to make stupid like four two or something So you know someone's got to score these goals And I mean gustiles someone else you could look at the PSV But uh Yeah, I'm expecting a high scoring encounter overall and for me it's the goals should be a home win, but Yeah, PSV can let you down sometimes when you expect them to deliver the goods for you Um, so Yeah, I'm happy to I mean I'm happy to avoid them on the money line or hand it can be a sp And stick with the goals angle what have people got in chat here for this one Um anyone liking uh here we go man city ftw PSV always the team that's screaming over
If I bet with them are against them. They can be a bogey team for a lot of bettas I know are you are you feel there they've done me in dirty before where they they don't win when you expect them to win easily And then there's a random game where they just kind of outperform a good team at home And it's there a strange case actually PSV Um But I was sort of vilifan in chat by the way. I know he's been fading the draws in this tournament And no draw yet in the chat Working with him today. I said we do want today Um, but There's been a real trend in the last two seasons where the draws are just not appearing in the league There you go um, it's got to be a draw somewhere a day right we can't go a whole match day without a draw James Well, I don't think we can and again we were talking when we off air with producer Troy and the boys backstage as it were Yeah, I mean, I think some of these games could end in draws I think there's one or two here which look like they on paper they could be close Uh, I'd be I'd be very surprised. Can you do a full match day without a draw? I don't think so so no it would be incredible actually it would
Right, uh, that is a 1245 Um, eastern time kickoff and same uh kickoff time fellow batch versus Roma looking like a spicy clash here in yeah in Turkey Fedor batch a plus two 50 tie at plus two 50 Roma plus 108 and this is one of those matches. I'm really excited by the prospects of it And I feel like I it's going to be a game. We should be goals It might be very very entertaining, but from a betting standpoint I've got nothing. It's a blank company actually for both of us actually James here correct And I just find I looked at all the the markets. I mean don't you all Marlon? I thought well, I'm going to go on into scores from like plus 130 and he's minus 114 I know crazy. I just can't get there. So I mean Treg if you've got anything a bit more than me here It should be a good game shouldn't it, but I'm just looking at the fine value on it Should be a good gamer. I'm looking forward to seeing the game and I was really looking forward to seeing the prices because I thought that The overs was going to be underrated here. I went into it thinking that maybe the market was not going to have
priced up this as an overs game looks at the prices and Over 2.5 goals was very sure odds as disappointed because I thought there might be a chance of getting something there Over 2.5 or over 2.75 goals, but no the market Has read it the same way that I've read it. I think this will be an open and entertaining game and I I think we could see goals. Yeah, I think I was hoping maybe the market would expect Roma to go there and play it slightly conservatively But it doesn't if things they'll go there and be involved in again with goals and I think that's correct because What we've seen from Roma so far in in Serie A is they're very positive They've got attacking players in form crucially. You've mentioned Marlon there It was very short away from home to score which is disappointing But it wouldn't be a surprise if he scored what it has been in fantastic form domestically So I think Roma are good at least for a goal here And will be it quietly confident. They can avoid defeat but Fernobar chair a good team from what we've seen so far. There's some really good players in that side
There's some good experience in that team They beat a pretty good Leon team over two legs in the playoff round to make it this far They won the second leg to one away at Leon and played some good football in both of those legs So they're going to be a tough team Looking at the money line prices there are Fernobar chair too big at home at plus two 50 Maybe maybe a little bit But no pick or play for me on that because I've really enjoyed what I've seen from Roma so far. So yeah like you Steve. I'm really excited about the game and Like I say I couldn't wait to log on and look at what the price is where when I've done my own due diligence on it And then I was a bit shocked to see that the market for me seems to have got it right in the player props I was slightly surprised that Mason Greenwood is plus 180 to score That's quite big on him at home, I think Um Big game player I think in this competition now that he's made it through to the group face
So that's one player who may be a little bit bigger than he should be but generally speaking same as you listen should be a great watch Um, we can learn a lot about these two teams who could be dangerous I think in the group phase I think both of them Uh can pick up points but uh nothing from me either on the game tonight I don't know what people in chat think but all the prices pretty much look about spot onto me I just had a look at the the match of the weekend. It was Fenobatch again to Bishik Tass and uh But Bishik Tass team doesn't look too bad by the way either the Turkish sides are really improving the quality So Ron was asking me about Transponsport in um to win their written in Europe I can't remember what competition they're in um but anyway I think the Turkish teams are improving. I think Fenobatch even money is not a bad bet actually to to finish 9 to 24th But right now I think they're a little bit disjointed. I think they need a few weeks to gel properly And you know we saw that in qualifying a bit They had moments where they look excellent and then they went off the pace didn't they
And it kind of shows in in the stats in the matches they can't play a complete 90 minutes at the minute And I think they're going to be quite pleased that there's a month gap between match they want to match day two Um, so that's why I'm leaning Roma to win this game I think Roma are the more complete team right now be look excellent And I think Roma are the sort of team in chat where most people are going I saw team total everyone on a half a Roma been a popular bet Marlon everyone wants to bet on Marlon Now They think I gave out yesterday Luis Suarez to score any time for sporting say moddas Marlon today Difference is sporting were at home and a minus 150 favorite I can't get there with Marlon at what minus 114 When Roma a plus 110 and away from home in turkey it doesn't many's not going to score you probably will But I can't just everyone has a price everyone has on where I just I can't get there Marlon scored two or more goals six times in his room career by the way he's plus 400 to score two or more Sort of player who
Often if he scores one he gets more So you could look at even doubling him up if you like him some people are there might think minus one 14's incredible rally on Marlon And yeah, you know, he's he just seemed to have a knack of of scoring a lot of goals But Roma are popular here 90% of the money is on Rome on the money line 66% of the tickets 95% of the money on the over in the over-and-a-market And I thought about over three Asian goals here, but I just think it's probably a bit higher than I wanted I wanted 2.75 or two and a half So but again, yeah, I think Roma 3-1 or 2-1 would be my prediction here. What about you? Yeah, I was gonna say 2-2 I think You know, I think for an about you can give him a bit of a scare here But same as you Steve. It's all about the price as well Marlon for me As soon as I saw him at minus money for me too short And that over three goal line which was tempting. That's what I was hoping I was gonna find at a really good price Not enough in that either for me. So yeah, 2-2 I would go on the correct score market
Just as a prediction rather than a play But yeah, some of the prices unfortunately To me look correct Gurney is in chat welcome back Gurney said he thought bang weekly a bit the dust no longer pops upon his YouTube Please that we're still up and running On monitoring future great to see you Gurney. Yeah, I wonder where you've gone till not seeing you for a bit We are still going on strong strong stronger than ever It must be said Yes, so that's the early kickoffs today Before check out how special is by way check out the bitrivers app later in the day for more How specials we've got NFL later as well in Australia It's gonna be loads of the how specials for that one live streams you can watch today Estrella against Braga in the Portuguese primeira legal And independent a doval against flamenco in the Coppola Bertha Doris Check back to Monday show me and Nathan joys. Well Nathan is the expert down there
I quizzed him on the on that match He's got a really good looking bet in that game kicks off the same time as the NFL game today. So well worth putting on the other screen at the same time. You're watching the NFL Betrivers banter as well as I mean, it's been so much content this week on the banter if you're looking for a betting angle check out the topics news feed in your bet rivers app The bet rivers banter news feed is filled with picks from bet rivers network personalities And windy capers to give you expert insights tap the topics icon in your bet rivers app to get the latest ticks I had a loser on the on the banter yesterday unfortunately James went a little pull over three and a half goals plus He's after score Now how's that gone under three and a half? Yeah, seriously Cannot believe that game went under three and a half yesterday Well, I hit pretty much every other winner Right, but that was the game. I mean, I get over three Asian. I gave out on the in part of the daily double which push but I can't believe it and go over three and a half, but it is the way it goes sometimes Yeah, um in this on in soccer
So that is the early kickoff Discussed now let's move to the three PM Eastern time gains and Old Trafford is where we head here Manchester United against Sabah A team that a lot of people would not have heard of they are the champions of Azerbaijan Normally it would be caribag that win this league but Sabah Uh, now wrestle control away from them. They've got a very interesting manager I'm sure people have seen him during the rounds in that department um, but tough tie for them here 24 to one they are on the opening night at old Trafford tie up plus 1050 money night at minus 1250 in the handicaps something along the lines of what minus three is it Manchester United minus 2.75 Um, money united a 16 to one to win the champions league Which we said it on on Tuesday with Nigel that looks one of the worst odds out there However, the Premier League teams have looked excellent so far. They've got all the wins so far Money united surely complete the set for the for the Premier League teams
But it's a question of by how many goals are they going to win by and can Sabah score? It's probably the two big question marks here James. What do you think? Yeah, well at first glance I was Shopt at just how short Manchester United are here. They are obviously the stronger side Uh, they're facing a team from the 27th ranked league in Europe. He has a by Johnny Lee massive golf in quality in that sense Yeah, but it's Manchester United. I mean, we uh, I don't mean that in a disparaging way, but they have not been One of the top two or three teams from the Premier League have they in recent years. It's just the case that they haven't and um So at first I was slightly skeptical about the price on you know minus 1115 it was short and now as you can see on screen to minus 1250 The more I look at it the more I think it makes sense actually Steve. I think they should be winning this comfortably They could they could do that and I don't really think there's any reason to oppose them to do it um And the reason I think that is that although yes, they've had a mixed start to the season in the Premier League. What are they on?
One win one draw and one defeat They have looked good to me going forwards Yeah, in moments rather than all the way through games, but they scored five at home to whip switch and they got a couple of goals away to Everton And I think dropping down a level or two levels or even three levels as regards the the opposition they're facing here I think it's a real opportunity for you to get a big win because I think the the area of the team that's working best at the moment is going forwards So yeah, the more I looked at it. I wouldn't want to oppose them I think you know people will take different views on that and Yeah, people maybe reluctant to back them on the handicap because as you said you need to go up to minus three really on the Asian handicap to get To get close to even money on united and some people won't want to do that But um, I think there's a really big difference in quality here the more I looked at sabba back who that became more and more apparent um Looking at the predicted starting lineup for the for the visitors I'm not especially impressed by it. There's a couple of potential starters in their back four who
Who I remember from the French League Uh Went even really proven league one standard players, you know more sort of second division or even third division standard players in France Who are at the back end of their careers now who may be playing tonight at old traffic it if they do play It's going to be a really really big step up in quality for players like that so We'll find out on the night. We'll see well obviously learn a lot more about this team tonight But I wouldn't really want to oppose Manchester United winning by three or maybe even more here because As I say, I think the area of the team that's working best is when they go forwards And they could get chances to score tonight time after time after time. So It's an odd one. It's a difficult one often these mismatches are difficult Uh to read I quite like them a lot of the time I certainly like backing favorites in certain circumstances like this And I wouldn't back in I did but I wouldn't be opposing them either here Yeah, money night in minus three on the Asian handicap and the goal line is at four Asian
But both teams score yes is minus 104 so that tells you what the market expected money united to basically win three nil or four nil And look anything I'll say for Manchester United is let's look at their fixture list And the next match they've got is on Sunday Manchester City correct. Yeah, now That makes me wonder Second half would Michael Carrick call off the dogs here or not So do you know it go really have really hard first half? Yeah, Manchester United first half handicap What's that minus one on a half minus one point two five I think Um second half could it but the thing is by then is the damage done They could literally be five in a look by them if Because Premier League against Azerbaijany opposition. It's just it's not fair fight. Yeah, it's not fair fight So um my lean for this game is actually um going corners When united over six and a half corners minus one oh seven I just think they dominate territorially from lights to flag whatever happens even if the second half isn't as intense
I think they'll still get when there's substitutions that will come on and fighting for that place as well Seven corners from man United in a one-sided game doesn't feel like it a lot No, United do have matches where they where they rack up quite a few corners So that stood out to me as a potential bet But just because the man city game is upcoming that's why I don't want a game holding the handicap all the goal line too much But I think realistically we're looking at menu winning by at least two Probably three would sabba score. I don't know. I I don't know. I mean the other these minors have scored I mean yesterday fine. I'd got a golden they psp sg win to nil backers were in the mud as well Yeah, you can get consolations When second string not second string but when substitutions on the field and the concentration levels aren't there So let's know if chai if you you know is anyone out there gonna bet on both team score. Yes, yeah Well anything is on that stage just very quickly. They've conceded haven't they united? It's the defense hasn't looked watertight what 2-0 defeat at whole conceded to against step switch
They've conceded to goals against Devaton I know actually make the niles hit the sort of goal He probably won't score again this season forever to to equalize But yeah, they've been conceding chances and goals and obviously that said a higher standard of football But it does make you think that maybe there's a chance for the visitors here to to get something So some interesting Comments in chat here We've got so slippy bricks a sabotage score in the second half united do the job early Rotate and give away a few chances at plus to 10 um limited benefits united team total over one and a half first half minus 103 Can't argue with that that really should go, but then we've got will bow in And he was Warning against betting on psv earlier He said these are the sorts of games you throw peeps and money on sabote in some form all the squares are on the big name And he thinks it could be the sort of match where maybe If you know if not get a result then at least cover the handicap
We are doing underdog to do something Yeah, I don't know whether you know win or double chance or cover a handicap But maybe watch out for that one rose puts says money knight is 16 to 1 to win the tournament the worst odds of any sport available now What should money night what should Manchester United be So what the champions leak 33 yeah, I instinctively I would say around there, you know 33 yeah, I was surprised kind of with you I was I would think I'd go 28 minimum absolute yeah at best for money knight You've got to respectfully Premier League that's basically yes, but yeah 16s is just Will you pay an a premium on the on the name that Manchester United simple as that um Okay, where is that the Bain breakdowns for this game Only 91% of the money on money knight Where you go? I thought it'd be 99% although there's 98% of the tickets on United 94% of the money in the over and the markets on the over For this match again, I thought it might be a bit higher although it is a high
goal line and Talking about high goal lines Buy a Munich versus Buddha glimped We've got a powering in chat actually for where you think this match is going to go over under four and a half goals Uh the actual Asian goal lines even higher my biminiqa minus 1100 to win this game tie plus 1100 and bodo glimped at 22 to 1 and like I say the over four and a half goals Is minus 141 now? I mean the eight Asian goal line of 4.75 over is minus 118 if you want to get a plus money Goal line you have to go to five and you have that's to be six goals in the game for you to catch a winning ticket Yeah, which is incredible this This goal line is out of control by a Munich minus 3.25 on the Asian handicap That's probably out of control as well But I said this yesterday in the in the Barcelona match and They covered and the goal line covered
Who would be brave enough to go under on this one? I'm so frustrated about this game James I've looked high and low for a bet in every market and I just can't find one I really like I'm interested to hear your take on it Boat team score is about about minus 150 That would be a play for you minus 148 now. Is that a play Possibly is yeah because I think they might concede um and I do have an angle on this game. I'm going to come on to it in a second They actually involves another game as well, but They are out of control Steve those prices and yet at the same time like you say would you oppose them? It's very difficult for me to find a reason to oppose The high goal line to oppose by and winning big they can do both of those things You know, I think people may look at their result at the weekend when they could only draw Nile Nile again And think is that in any way a pointer towards this going on does I don't think it is you know, they left the harry can and at least say on the bench They didn't leave one for the whole game, but they started on the bench
Um and they'd begun the season with a five one win at home to stucco I don't know that result against shalkers any sort of guide here Uh, but I don't glimpsed have been involved in Four high scoring games really to get this far Uh Union San Gilles as they got past um in the qualifying stages Uh, I think 11 goals in two games between those two sides And then seven goals in two games to get past NEC from the Netherlands so Listen, they're not going to shut by Munich out are they and they probably have a little bit more about them going forwards I think then a lot of other teams that by Munich could be facing so I think the goal line being so high Well, maybe surprise people, but I can't find a reason to oppose it And I think yeah, it's very difficult to find a single Really worth playing on this game My angle on the game is actually an Asian handicap double An Asian handicap parlay I really like by a Munich minus two Asian handicap and Manchester United minus two Asian handicap if you put those two together in a parlay
Then you get minus 127 now that's a me Is quite appealing because I see I find it very difficult to see either of those two teams failing to win by at least two goals And obviously if they do that if they both do it you're not going to lose So in the end like you see I looked high and low at that by a minute game and everything's sort of made sense and Actually, I wanted to get the two teams who are Price-wise by far the the big favourites to win at home tonight I wanted to get them both on my side in some way and that's me is the best way to do it I think those two in a minus two Asian handicap double that you know fairly close to Evans My 127 That would be worth a look just a lean from me not an official play Um, but yeah other than that these big Big goal lines and wild handicaps on by Munich and Manchester United They for me are very difficult to argue with Yeah, I mean that minus two Asian minus 127 on the double
That does look good. I mean I must say man United should bare minimum win by two and buy and just have probably too much quality Against Bodo glimpsum You've been in great form James so much so you can have the extra an extra double on the day Yeah, and that's there can be the unofficial A daily double um, I mean bodo glimpsum I follow them for years as you know and Look the romanticism and we would love to see them get something here You know is is this the sort of match where I throw some Sort of peek some money on them in some form But they could play really really well here and still lose by two that's the problem. So yeah But I do think they'll score they'll probably find a way to score but buy in Don't just don't concede many big chances because they dominate so so much Although stuck out had 11 shots against them in the first match in the match again in the Bundesliga So I was looking at some shot props for for bodo glimpsum But rivers aren't taking any chances here If you want to bet on player shots of the prominent players you've got to go over one and a half really
Um and the shot on target as well You know, it's more like Jens petta howg up plus 112 for a shot on target Buy and don't concede that many shots on target. So again, I'd want a bit more Everything about this game just seems to be priced up beyond me. So yeah, I am gonna watch this and enjoy the game and You know, all theories and logic point towards actually sort of over everything to type of game Apart from cards. I think it'd be quite clean Um, but the goal the lines are set high for a reason It's as simple as that really 92% of the money's on buying Munich on the money line 50 only 57% of the money on the over That's not surprising when it well maybe not because it's a four and a half because of the lines yes fair Yeah, and you know, we've got a pole going in chat I'd be interested to see what that finishes are actually whether yeah you uh whether the majority would want over or under In this particular match. I mean the sort of scoreline. I'm thinking there's like four one
100% Don't get a second goal. I don't know. Maybe they're good. I It's it's just I mean plus 310 for For over one and a half boat of glimps goals. I wanted about four or five to one Again, every single bet I want in this game is priced up and I want more on it Um, the nil nil by the way guess what odds the nil nil is for this game with bet rivers 22 to 1 55 to 1 wow wow Now that they've just added nil nil. I mean, you know, I don't know. No, it's not going to be They have that nil nil that nil nil in shalka was as big as 66 to one i.t.ed Wow, that is incredibly matching back to back by me pan-lightening strike twice. Well I don't know. It's probably not Right, okay, two later games here. You've got a picking both of these two matches James I think I'm sure best bet the day. Slavya Prague against lawns here
And Slavya Prague you said a bit of a pick him actually with the with the with bet rivers here Slavya Prague are the slight dog plus 170 Um is the last is the latest odds I've got on them Types plus two 55 and lawns at plus one 50 Yeah, I can't make up my mind about this game actually on money line and stuff I don't know Slavya Prague that well this year because they have qualified automatically for this tournament I've not seen him in qualifying or anything like that. I don't watch the check league domestically So I'm a bit blind probably the one team in this whole competition or a bit bit blind with so far lawns under the new manager We know that the matches have been pretty open entertaining and stuff like that I think I've got the quality to be trusted as a plus one 50 dog in Prague. I'm not sure you know this can be A weirdest sort of place to visit Um, so I'm gonna leave this match to you Yeah, I don't think they can Steve no, I think that's quite a short price really and it's got shorter earlier today Both of these teams were plus 160 so markets moved
slightly and and launch and now the favorites. Yeah, I'm not sure they've got the quality right now to to justify that price Um for anybody that's not watched them yet in league one Uh, they started with a five-two home win under their new manager d no top model which was a really good attacking performance but and it was quite a big Yeah, not question mark against them, but Oggsair had an early red card in that game Uh, and they've yet to actually play well So I think what we've seen since is that once we're playing a fairly average Oggsair team they then lost uh, two one at Strazburg Uh, a fortnight ago and then they lost again last weekend at home to lorry on so it's been a mixed star What's that it seemed like it was gonna be a good start and then they sort of faded so I'm not sure they're playing well enough to justify that price Um, and I wouldn't back them. I wouldn't back them to win and I wouldn't be looking at them Tino better or double chance or anything like that because They've not been great so far. They've been okay, but they've not been great They have some team news issues
There are defenders that they would love to have available who are not available here to play in their back three Uh, Sampson by do Probably their best center back he's missed the season so far. He's gonna be out for another couple of months Uh, he's a big loss and for various other reasons they've had to make changes from game to game to game so far in the back three And also the back five if you build in the the wingbacks Uh, they're their best right wingback is out tonight as well So I wouldn't trust them on that front My pick steve is on the goals. I think it's a really good opportunity this to go on the over 2.5 goals at minus 142 there Uh, for a few reasons the first is that team news with lance. I think they're gonna be vulnerable in defense I think they're gonna give up chances because of their team news And I also think they're gonna give up chances because of the way that top muller gets this team playing I think you'll see this as a winnable game and The fact they've got defenders missing. I think we'll encourage him to think where we need to go forward even more because if we're gonna win it
It's gonna be one with our forwards. So I'm expecting a fairly positive performance from lance I think they'll create things and they got one or two dangerous players floreon tovann It started the season in very good form on the right wing on slavia Prague like you steve I'm not the best informed on them But they've been in very good form domestically. They're unbeaten in seven They've won five and they've drawn two and crucially for my pick here They have been scoring lots of goals. They are averaging three goals again in their domestic league and I think they'll be quietly confident on the back of that scoring form Plus they'll have looked at the lance team news and realize they are not facing the best defensive version of lance here So I think the hosts will be confident with good reason that they can trouble lance And I think lance will go for the win And in order to get the win they'll need to rely on their forwards So I think over 2.5 goals is a really good price here at minus 143 is my best bet of the day you might even want to look at my plus
Over 2.75 goals Maybe even over 3 goals at that point you're Well, yeah, and then you're moving towards plus money and maybe good plus money. So my play is the over 2.5 but Three goals. Yes, maybe even four here. Let's wait and see Over 3.5 goals is plus 165 over 4.5 goals plus 390 Do you know what? Reckon your ears would prick up here James because 90% of the money's on lance On the money line which surprised me. Yeah, look we Leon Leon went to sparta pride and got well-being. I thought Um No, slavvy of Prague are supposedly better than sparta Prague Lones and Leon probably I don't know me your mind up Stim I mean suddenly that plus 170 on slavvy of Prague could be could be a bad I just don't know enough about them. This is the one team. I've got to say I have not watched this pro I've seen more of slavvy and brother slavvy than them
You know, I mean it's just I watch all of the the qualifying and stuff and I really will have my eyes strongly on them here for this game. It's a bit of a watching Brief for me 83% of the money's on the over for this match as well Florentor van you mentioned him is one of my go-to players He's plus 105 to score or assist Not sure about that one here in Prague Probably get tempted by him James no knowing me Because he's so involved in their goals. Yeah, plus 105 worth it. Yeah, it's not bad actually plus money not bad He's in good listen. He's in great form. He'll be on the penalties. I would imagine that's his job He's not really sharp. He gets into good the thing about tovani gets consistently into good positions good scoring positions and good positions to assist He is their best attacking player certainly think one or two others have done quite well this season already A guy people may not know called seamer There's been effective in a in a strange center fordrow actually, but he's more there to win the ball the chances are
Generally falling to tovani and as I say should be on penalties. So I quite like that at plus money Certainly if they are to do well here tonight and get two goals and get a result. It would be It would be very surprising if they did that without a key contribution from tovani So if you think lons can get a result here or if you think they can score two goals Yeah, the chances of him being involved. I would say are pretty high Slippy bricks s tovanta score plus 230 wouldn't put you off that one either Millward dan is there a new management in lons this year brand new it's dino top mola who was formerly at frank foot Yes, that front foot side every match seen to be going like over three and a half over four and a half the first half of last season And that's why he got the boot in there eventually and you know from what we've seen the lons so far Half and that one of the weekend where there's a red card involved It's been pretty wide open stuff and that's why James is best bet of the day Over two and a half goals in that one slavvy over one and a half goals team total someone asked you James Tristan
Interesting to think of that one. Yeah quite possibly. Yeah, I mean yeah I'm leaning towards like I suppose a two two really yeah wouldn't surprise me because That with without going through every single defender who has been out or is out There are issues at the back they lost as well over the summer a very good center back did lons in malang star He would be in a really good fit for them at left center back. He's left the club now. That's less the big hole Not just as an individual defender, but in terms of organizing a organizing the back three and in terms of leadership So it's a bit patched up at the moment. It's the launch defense. There's some decent players in there But it's a bit patched up and they they seem to me to be looking around and slightly unsure of where they are and where their teammates are and If slavvy or Prague have a real go tonight, which I think they will given how many goals they've been scoring domestically Then over 1.5 teams total. Yeah, they could clear that We finish with a match in Italy and I've been this has been doing the rounds on the socials that they
hasn't at the beautiful looking stadium of Como Right next to the lake though, which is Como against to RB Leipzig If I'd said to you three years ago that Como are going to be minus one 41 favourites to be Leipzig in the champions league Yeah, you'd be like wow what has happened to this club But they have started the season brilliantly domestically look really strong You've been betting on Como you've been high on Como this season James that minus one 41 favourites here Typlus 310 Leipzig plus 350 we've got a really high goal line here much higher than I thought it'd be three and a half Is it plus 105 really disappointed that this wasn't a couple of lines low-out beyond the over But you know Como have treated you really really well this season I know you've been bigging them up and stuff So you are you're not going to continue back in them Are you going to be against them tonight James? 100% I am against Como tonight yeah not interested at all which is yeah It's almost a prize me Steve to be honest when I look to the prices because I think that I should say I think they're the real deal in Serie A
I think they've got a very good chance of Getting a top four place again which they did last season which is why they're in this competition I think they've been great you know they've won two and they've drawn one in Serie A They played some great football It was one of our eight out of eight winners last weekend Como to win at Genoa they were brilliant in that game So I like everything about them It's a huge occasion for them not just because it is their first Ever Champions League game but it's also their first game at home this season They've had to play away from home only up until now in Serie A while they were Waiting for their stadium to get ready. So What a great occasion and I you know I went in there With an open mind having done my own research on the game, but I think they're too short I don't think they should be minus 141 Um At home to RB Leipzig in their first ever Champions League game because I do think entering a different competition for a club like clo-coma will pose them some problems here It's a completely different type of occasion for them and
They're pretty inexperienced as a club and as a group of players and also as a manager And Cess Fabregas in dealing with Teams from different leagues, you know, it's a this is an inexperienced European team and they're facing You know a team we know all about European nights. I'll be like to go. I used to play in Europe They're coming in from a league which is just as good I would say as Serie A and they're coming in as Yeah, you could argue Yeah, maybe a slightly better team than Como If you were to look back over the last 12 months something like that, you know You've got the fourth best team from From Italy against what the third best team you would say from Germany. So I don't know it looks to me like a fairly Even matchup, but I don't think RB Leipzig we've got anything to really fear here They're not stepping into the unknown in any way and Como are and it just puts us like Down into my mind about whether they can perform You know, maybe as naturally as they would like to do It's a big occasion. It's a new start for the club. It's a new era. So I'm not quite sure so
I'm not on Como tonight and I think the really sure odds on a Como win there minus 141 I think it opens up a great opportunity to back RB Leipzig on the handicap So my pick on the game is RB Leipzig plus one on the Asian handicap Which is available. I think might around minus 150 something like that. You might get slightly better than that now With Como seemingly being favored. I think that's a great playstead because I think it would be asking a huge amount for Como to go out there tonight And win by two or more goals against a very good bunda zegateen They might win it but I'd be more inclined to see them winning by a single goal And as I say they're going to face a different type of challenge tonight. It's a big occasion They've got to control their emotions. They've got to cope with a different sort of opposition. So I'm a big fan of Como that has not changed but a little bit short for me tonight And I think the value lies with the opposition. So yeah my second pick of the day RB Leipzig plus one Asian handicap minus 150
I've got a feeling this is kind of a fade of Serie A for your James 2 degree a little bit because yeah I mean with you I mean that we we're not sure about the level of this league at the moment and we're not you know How good a Como related to Inter for example that could be a good question What price would Inter be here against RB Leipzig if they were home against them? I'm guessing there would be about minus 170 Yeah, nothing like that. So it's not a lot shorter and it's no I do just get where you coming from on Yeah, this is an example and you know, it's obviously it's like it's the first round of games So we're going to learn a lot and what I love about this this game steve is you you've got two of the big five European leagues here going head to head And obviously you've got teams who were almost in the same place in their respective divisions Last season and I feel like they may be as strong as they were This is a great chance to compare leagues here, you know how strong is Serie A compared to RB Leipzig And I just feel the psychological factor with this being a new experience for coming You might I'm not quite saying rabbit in the headlights, but they've got quite a lot to deal with tonight
So it is slightly a fade of Serie A because I do While I've enjoyed what we've seen so far in that league by the way domestically There've been some good games and some entertaining games and lots of learnings and some good football from coma when Roma in particular It is a slight fade of the league because I'm not convinced it's any stronger than the Bundesliga Yeah, I think it's some some really good points in that one James this The other thing with Leipzig Leipzig will come here and they'll try and play the game on their own terms They'll make it a shootout basically So not many Italian teams will do that not many Italian teams will come to To come over and make that I mean I like the goals in the game the goal lines are a bit too high You can't be honest with you But you know are you following the money here James because 72% of the money is on Leipzig 65% of the tickets on Leipzig as well And 75% of the money in the over and the markets on the over I do like you know, I just everywhere I look today. I've just been playing around actually with a with a parlay
You know and I just I see goals everywhere Now how about this could I interest you in this James God six leg parlay Every match today in the jambies league over two and a half goals just two and a half with only three and a half four and a half Two and a half and it pains nearly six to one I Just think you know, you could got some legs there. Yeah, yeah, I mean listen That would interest me because I've got the six fixtures written down here in front of me And if I go through them one by one as we just have Which one of those six looks like an under this game none of them is the answer them Exactly, you know, and obviously things can happen and you know one upset out of six is almost what you would expect So but six to one when you've got the six ties that we've got tonight And it's the the goal line is over 2.5. Yeah, that is appealing I'm I'm gonna take that I think that is a bit of extra interest six to one
All six champions league games to go over two and a half goals Um, I'm gonna I just confident about that one James um Okay, we've had a viewers poll Going on and the buying versus boat again over under four and a half goals 60 sorry 72% Gonna take that minus 141 over four and a half goals. That is the world we live in now. Yes over four and a half goals is seen as the better option Yeah, well, I can't blame them because no who would be brave enough. Yeah, so bet under four and a half maybe Nigel he was here Yeah, maybe it would be Nigel because yeah, very difficult to argue with the result that poll I've got to say Yeah, um, we'll come to the daily double soon, but uh, I want to do some betting splits for the NFL game Which producer Troy sent me was a big game in NFL Australia at the MCG It's gonna be a very interesting to watch this one rat 49 is at Rams All I keep seeing is how both teams have approached the game so differently in terms of their circadian rhythms
The 49ers have been there all week and the Rams are making a flying visit, but anyway We have got of minus four favorite Um, other Rams and 82% of the money on the money line is on Rams Um, we've got 86% of the tickets on the Rams 79% of the money on the spread On the minus four is on the Rams in the over under market 64% of the money is on the under we've got a 48 Point line 64% of the money is on the under 54% of the tickets on the under and the betting weekly live PM crew Mike Carver ducca-Zirian will be breaking down that match in detail later four PM eastern time For you know player props all sorts of angles. So we look forward to that one later in the daily double as well for them Which I do believe uh half one yesterday.
