Welcome to BetUS, I am Flash and it’s the bundesliga show, matchday 23. Now we’re America’s favorite sportsbook, so we’d like you to subscribe and get us closer to 4,000, just 130 more subscriptions and then we are done, 4,000. Then we move on from there. More importantly at the moment though, is to ring the bell. Ring the bell means that we’ll notify you and you’ll never miss any content again. And there’s plenty content coming your way outside of our normal channels. Because we’ll have the golf, all the majors and the fifth major from Sawgrass, which is the TPC players championships. Then it’ll be the tennis, the grand slam events, and then the triple crown. So just make sure you ring that bell.

Flash:

Going great guns in Bundesliga, up over 14 units. And that’s all down to my two experts because I have been struggling. But Kevin, the voice of European soccer or football is up and showing us the way and ably assisted by the luckiest man on this earth, when he wants the last minute goal, he gets it later than the last minute. And that’s obviously at Alex classic tips. Kev strange week last week, and nothing more stranger than him. First of all, Bayern conceding four.

Kevin:

Bochum played very well, but they also scored a couple of three goals. I mean, you look at the xG, it was outrageous. They scored like four from 1.3 in the first half. And that was because we had a couple of goal of the season contenders in one game. With Gamboa finding the top scorer. Then you had a long range curler from Gerrit Holtmann, who’s had a great season. But what it did show was that, Bayern weren’t quite at it. Julian Nagelsmann admitted that afterwards. He said, “I felt even in training, we didn’t have that necessary tension, that you need sometimes in games”, he said he could see it going wrong in the first half. And that’s kind of developed into a more interesting debate around Bayern, because Uli Hoenes, who no longer has an official capacity at the club, but always has some thing to say, felt that there wasn’t enough tension in the club. Wasn’t enough, nastiness in terms of players battling for positions. And Julian Nagelsmann didn’t shy away from that, he said, “you’re right”. He said, “we weren’t able to make any signings in January. I wanted to bring players in to make it a bit more difficult and give more competition for places”.

Flash:

Yeah, Alex, there was some few dodgy results, few strange results, but I mean, you and Kevin seem to be finding the right side of most of them.

Alex:

Yeah. Hopefully it will remain that way. I also have the same t-shirt as last week because my guy here, Diaby scored and Leverkusen won again. So because of that, I’m wearing it again. Hopefully this will keep on giving those good results…

Flash:

Are you superstitious normally?

Alex:

Not exactly, but from time to time, I like to be that way. To be a little bit superstitious. Like all the gamblers, all the cappers out there, 90% of them…

Flash:

Wear their lucky pants.

Alex:

Yeah. The other way around. For me, the shocking result, it was the Bochum game against Bayern Munich. But more shocking was the fact that, Dortmund kept a clean sheet against Union Berlin. For me that was very shocking. And after that they conceded four against Rangers. Still I think that there is plenty of value this week and we will continue to provide winners. And not like you fledge with your bankers.

Flash:

Unlucky elf, is what I like to be called in this league, at the moment. But listen, only eight units, so I’ll fly through them. Let’s all have a little look at the records because there’s a team, it’s 14.14. Look at me, I’m the only minus Kev’s going well, 13.7. I think that’s probably second out of all of the cappers, behind just Matty Ice and myself in what is it? La liga. We’re doing okay. But 14.14 of profit. Okay, let’s kick on. Remember, there’ll be a Q and A, prior to the official soccer pick. So get yourselves in the chat. If you want anything, we’re going to cover five games. And the first one is tonight’s game, it’s Mainz versus Leverkusen. Mainz at +220. Dangerous that +220. Leverkusen at +120, the draw at +275. And it’s under/over three goals. Are you doing this game Kev? Because if you are, are you expecting over three goals?

Kevin:

I am doing this game and I have to say, I’m not necessarily expecting that many goals. I think, this is a really intriguing game. And as a commentator, you have an idea of what your intro might be and that kind of thing. And it feels like the unstoppable force against the immovable object tonight. Because you’ve got a Mainz defense, that is the best statistically in the league right now, against the Leverkusen team, that slapped in 14 goals in their last three games. So I’m fascinated to see how Mainz upset, how Mainz try and contain them.

Kevin:

I think the conditions might play a part tonight as well. There are really strong winds across Western Europe right now. Across the UK, going to hit Germany a little bit later. And so I think that could play a part. And Gerardo Seoane, the coach of Bayer, has made reference to that already. And said look, we’ve got an idea of how we’ll look to play, but if his guys keep it on the floor, that’s one thing, Mainz won’t necessarily do that. Sometimes they’re a bit more direct. So I’d be really interested to see what happens there. And Mainz are on a great run of form at home. They’ve been hopeless away, but at home won their last four. They’ve been really, really solid. The vast majority of their points have come at home. I think 23 out of 31, this season collected at home.

Flash:

Yeah. It looks like if they’re going to win or they’re going to get something out this game, Alex, it’s going to have to be ugly. Three goals seems to be a bit higher though, especially with Mainz, trying to keep it so tight. Where are you finding value in this game?

Alex:

I don’t think that Mainz will keep clean sheets, like they did in the last four home games. And let’s not forget that they played the last four games against the likes of Hoffenheim, Bochum, Hertha, Wolfsburg. Okay, Hoffenheim, it was a surprise to see them not scoring in that match. But Mainz are one of the best teams at home. They lost just one game in 11 home of fixtures. But the form in which Leverkusen find themselves now, make me believe that they are the real deal, the value’s on them. It’s a little bit tricky to play the winners market and go for an away win, but let’s not forget what Kevin said, that they’re scoring goals for fun. And in the last match for two against Stuttgart, all the attacking [inaudible 00:07:23] Diaby, Wirtz, Adli and Schick, contributed on the scoreboard. Great pace, great creativity. Yes the winds and weather will be a factor here, but I still think that they have the potential to score two goals on the road

Flash:

So if they score a couple of goals, you not thinking that the +125 or +120, that’s available on the money line, would be the way to go?

Alex:

No, because also Mainz are scoring goals at home. They scored at least twice in the last four home games. So you never know what will happen. And Leverkusen are not the type of the team that they will defend. They are always trying to score more than their opponents. And this time I think that it’ll be the same kind of approach.

Flash:

Yeah. Entertaining game, dangerous one. Obviously, unless after the event you’ve come up on the right side. Let’s have a little look at the official plays because it’s Leverkusen team total over 1.5 for Alex. He’s got the shirt on and its

Alex:

It went up at -110, right now.

Flash:

-110 now?

Alex:

Yes.

Flash:

What? With BetUs?

Alex:

Yes.

Flash:

Okay. So it’s -110. I’ll write that down and I can amend that. In fact you can go in and amend that on my Google spreadsheet. Thank you. Moving on to the next game, which is strange old game. This is Augsburg versus Freiburg. Augsburg +200, massive for them at home because that’s where they normally get their points. But Freiburg +135, have been the surprise package for most of the season. You go against them, they kill you, you go with them, they kill you. And they are a pick them away from home at -135. The draws at +250, under or over at two and a half. Do we see three goals here though? Alex? Because two and a half looks generous.

Alex:

No, I think that this game stays under. Augsburg are desperate to win points. I don’t think that they will go all in to win this match. Freiburg failed to score in two of their last three away games. Yes, they scored once one against Dortmund, but they lost five-one. So I think that everybody can score against Dortmund. So did Freiburg, minus Union Berlin. I think that this game stays under, in my opinion, I think that even a goalless draw here, looks like a good bet with a very, very small stake, obvious. But Augsburg are there in the danger zone, 16th place right now, a playoff position, a relegation playoff position. On the other side, yes, Freiburg are still the surprise package of the season, despite their poor run of form right now, there are still six in the table, but teams like Koln, Mainz are behind them and they might take advantage of this poor run in the next two, three weeks. So I’m expecting a low scoring games with both teams, would be very, very happy, in my opinion, with one point here.

Flash:

Yeah. The draw is a big price. For Augsburg, a +200 at home Kev. I’m thinking there is worse +200, that we are going to see over the course of time?

Kevin:

Yeah, I think that’s fair. I don’t like to disagree with Alex and generally we agree on a lot of stuff, but I’m not sure about this one. I’ll tell you why. I’ve done a lot of their games recently Augsburg, and they’re a better attacking side than the record show. I think bringing in Pepi gives them something a little bit different. It’s very early in his Bundesliga career, but he’s got that ability to run off the shoulder. Michael Gregoritsch is playing as well as I’ve seen in play for long, long time. Probably a couple of years actually. So he’s playing well. Alfred Finnbogason came back from injury and scored a goal late on against Gladbach. And even though they were well beaten by Gladbach last weekend, they carried a goal threat all the way through and they scored a couple of goals.

Kevin:

And if you look at their last six home games, they’ve scored twice, at least in four of those games. And I think they’re at the point now with home games, especially against a team like Freiburg who aren’t in form, eking out points here and there is no good for them because what they really need to do, is they need to put more distance between themselves and Stuttgart, who are in the automatic relegation zone. So I think they’ll see this as an opportunity. I don’t think Freiburg are playing well. I don’t think they’ve played well for a while. They’ve won three of their last 12. Even Christian Streich, the coach, has admitted, look, we were never going to be a champions league team. That was never on the horizon. This is just naturally what was going to happen. And there was always going to be a regression…

Alex:

Conference League maybe.

Kevin:

Possibly. And that would be a massive achievement. If Freiburg finished in the top half, that’s an achievement, but if they finished top seven and got conference league, I think that’s brilliant.

Flash:

I just took the +200 on the home side.

Kevin:

Well, I think they could. I do think they could because I think defensively, the gaps opened up against Gladbach last week, but I think that’s Gladbach’s best performance for quite some time. I think they’ll be okay in this game, but the bet that I prefer, although I like the +200s, but Freiburg are always a bit wary in terms of their goal scoring output. Because I think they’re dangerous in set plays and things like that. I actually think just Augsburg to score a couple of goals in this game, looks good to me.

Flash:

Okay. You’ll get a hell of a price. I think I saw it out as like +160 or something, wasn’t it? Okay, let’s all have a look at the official picks. We see the home side being overvalued here, Augsburg team total over 1.5 at +160. And I’ve just added Augsburg money line +200. And as you know, I need as much value as I can get. Now, all I’ve got to do, is be on the right side. So the home side to win at +200 and Augsburg team total over 1.5 at +160.

Flash:

I really like this next game. I think that there’s a gap. There’s a gap in the value and what should be reality. Stuttgart versus Bochum. Stuttgart plus. +115, Bochum +250. Bochum off scoring four against one of the best sides in Europe. They will be absolutely flying high. Draw is at +240. The under or over is only at two and a half. Stuttgart, they very, very rarely fail to score at home, Bochum score home and away. Alex, I see goals here. I don’t care who gets them. I see goals. And over two and a half at -115, is just an absolute must for me.

Alex:

Absolutely. I think that this is one way to go with this match. The goals market, we’ve seen Bochum, flying high right now. But I think that the situation here after winning against Bayern Munich, the leaders of the Bundesliga. They get too much confidence. And they will enter this match, say, okay, we beat the leaders. Let’s play Stuttgart, who are in the relegation zone. And this is a dangerous, dangerous match In my opinion. I don’t think that Bochum will lose this match, let’s put it this way. So I think that the draw double chance or +0.5 on the handicap or the spread. I think that is the way also to go. I think that we will see goals and I think that Bochum will not lose this one. Unfortunately, Stuttgart are considering too many goal. They conceded at least twice in the last four games and four of them were defeats. So I don’t know what is wrong with them anymore. Because they have many of their players back. I don’t know what is happening in that team because I don’t see them good. I don’t see them escaping the drop, once again.

Flash:

Slippy toast in the chats, come up with a cracker. He says both teams are scoring the first half at +300 Kev. I see both teams scoring and over. But I’m just looking and thinking, just over two and a half. Don’t complicate it, because listen, I can see Stuttgart winning three. But I can see Bochum winning three.

Kevin:

I think Stuttgart have got really big problems at the moment. I think defensively, there are big issues. They’ve lost Marc-Oliver Kempf to Hertha, who was probably their best natural defender. Waldermar Anton has not been fully fit. So, that places a lot of strain on Konstantinos Mavropanos, to hold the whole thing together. Wataru Endo hasn’t played as well this season, I don’t think, as he did last season. Sasa Kalajdzic has been struggling with a calf injury. Silas is back after that long injury. But we haven’t seen the real Silas come back yet either. And it’s quite a thin squad and it’s quite an inexperienced squad in many ways.

Kevin:

And I think as well as Pellegrini Matarazzo, was done as coach, I think the entire transfer policy of the club, which is to bring in young talent, develop it and sell it on, while that makes perfect financial sense I don’t think it’s helping them in the Bundesliga. And I think they’re really in a rut, right now. So, Bochum on a high. I don’t think Thomas Reis will allow them to get too complacent. He’s the kind of coach that will kind of really drill that into them. That they’ve won nothing and that win over Bayern has to now be forgotten.

Kevin:

I like the fact they’ve added Jurgen Locadia to the team, scored a penalty against Bayern. I think he gives them something a little bit different up top, gives a bit of competition to Sabastian Polter as well. And they do look a decent threat going forward. Most of their goals admittedly, have been at home, but I think they’re starting to pose a threat on the road as well. So again, similar strand to the previous game, I’m going to go for Bochum to score a couple of goals here. Because I think +190 value wise, it’s absolutely there.

Alex:

You don’t think that they will have the curse of Bayern Munich here. I mean, how many players in that Bochum side, they experienced the win against the Bavarian giants. I mean, none of them, I don’t remember one of them to play against [crosstalk 00:18:01].

Flash:

It’s very rarely you see players grow before your very eyes, and they actually grew within the 90 minutes. I mean, as we say, a couple of them goals, if things are not going well, you don’t pull the trigger, you take that extra touch or you then play it off, but they were ruthless. They were just like, as soon as they got half a yard, they were like, this is our cup final, we’re taking it on. But we’ve spoken about Bochum loads of times this season. They are a dangerous little outfit. And there are obviously some much better than the other two that came up. Because of their…

Alex:

Absolutely.

Flash:

They have that confidence of, well, we are going to be the best second you’ve seen.

Kevin:

Yeah. And I mean they won, the title that gave them massive confidence. I think Thomas Reis, is great coach for them. He understands the club inside and out, he’s been there a long, long time. I think they’ve got guys in there that are leaders. So Anthony Losilla, who’s 36 now I think, in the middle of the park. Excellent leader for them, covers a lot of grounds. The goalkeeper Manuel Reimann, although he missed the previous game because of COVID, but Michael Esser is decent understudy as well. But they’ve got lots of experience in the building. Even though it’s not Bundesliga experience, these are guys that have been first teamers for a long, long time. And I think with that coach, with those leaders, that kind of complacency that could I agree with you, could easily creep in, after the kind of result they’ve just had against Bayern. I’m not sure it will here. I think we’ll see a good follow up performance.

Flash:

Well, I’ll tell you what, we’re definitely going to be getting the value. Let’s have a little look at the official picks here, because I’ve gone over two half goals at -115, I don’t care who wins. I mean Bochum team two over 1.5 at +190 as well. Listen, there’s value everywhere you look, but there’s also a load of traps. But we’re looking at maybe Bochum win two-one or a two-two draw, but good luck wherever way you go. Okay, the next game, I’m going to come to you, Alex, because you should know the ins and out here it’s Dortmund versus Gladbach. Dortmund -160, but Dortmund minus one, is at +100, got to get back. They’ve had a real rough couple of weeks and then they come and keep a clean sheet. Gladbach at +450. What Gladbach are you going to get? You just never know. The draw at +315, and it’s under or over three and a half with having to pay -130. If you want to go under, seing four goals. Alex, Dortmund, why are they -160, against a Gladbach side, who are strong,

Alex:

Strong? Yes and no. I mean they conceded two against Augsburg last time out. Yes, they won the game. Yes, they are the giant killers. They beat two times Bayern Munich this season. Let’s not forget that they also won the last two bundesliga games against Dortmund. One-zero and last time again at home four-two against Dortmund last season. Very, very bad this Dortmund team, at the back. Very, very bad. And after the match against Rangers, Mats Hummels, was very upset and he declared that, they’re playing an awful football and that they shipped five goals against Leverkusen at home. Again, after that, four goals saying that they’re playing a very complicated football. And this was a direct hit to their manager, right? Marco Rose. But I know that the bosses of the club had a meeting with, the manager and his position is not in danger yet until the end of the season.

Alex:

If they don’t qualifying the champions league, he will probably be out. But I don’t see, Dortmund not finishing in the top three there and qualifying for the champions league. Still, I think that this Dortmund team needs proper defenders and…

Flash:

Oh, hundred percent. [crosstalk 00:22:15]

Alex:

I mean, I don’t understand why Mats Hummels had to talk about the match in the direction of his manager, because he’s one of the guilty ones. I mean, Mats Hummels, come on. You cannot have him right now. And I saw also Kevin talking about Zagadou, on social media the other day. So this team is considering many, many goals. Yes, they are the one of the best home teams in the league, but it’s dangerous to bet on them. Yes, they will need to answer the four, they need an answer after the four-two defeat against the Rangers, but I’m not confident enough to go with the home with the home win here. So [inaudible 00:23:09] said on the chat, we are milking the Dortmund, the goals market, in every single match. And it looks like it delivers in almost single match, but on the three-one win against Union Berlin. Again, tricky and strangely how they kept the clean sheet against Union Berlin.

Flash:

Yeah, it was. Although Union Berlin are on the slippery slope downwards, to be honest, Kev, -160 is… You got to be inventive in this game and you’ve got to have a leap of faith that see that both teams don’t score. I mean three and a half do we see four goals?

Kevin:

Yeah, absolutely. You could. So I could understand why people would go for the over three and a half. I think what’s interesting here, I read those Hummels’ quotes slightly differently, in the sense that I actually think he’s having a go at his teammates. Because I think what this is, this is about basics in terms of when they lose the ball. So I think what he means really, because he said our coache has warned us about this often enough. I think what he really means is that there are players in that team who are over complicating it themselves, outside of the plan. And what that means is, they’re basically taking things on, they shouldn’t be and therefore losing possession in dangerous areas. And so it’s inviting unnecessary pressure on that team.

Kevin:

I mean, you look at the goals they conceded, a needless handball from Zagadou gives away the penalty against Rangers. Then they switch off at a set piece for two nil. The third goal was great goal actually, I wouldn’t say that’s a Dortmund problem. I actually just think the third girl’s a great girl, Ryan Kent, who looks a very, very good winger, taking people on and setting up Lundstram for the third and the fourth is a mess, but they’re chasing the game by that stage.

Kevin:

So I still think there’s a lot of talent there. I still think there’s a danger with Dortmund actually of getting sucked into the same trap people get sucked into with Manchester United. Because everything’s a disaster at United. There can never be any decent performance with them. It’s either they’re on their way back or they’re the worst team anybody’s ever seen, everybody needs to get out of the club. And so I think Dortmund’s headed that way a little bit. The stuff about the meeting. Hans-Joachim Watzke, came out this morning and said it was totally invented. There was no meeting…

Alex:

Really?

Kevin:

That didn’t happen yet. So he’s come out instead and denied that entirely. And I think…

Alex:

But then let me ask you one question, you that you are connected 1000% with bundesliga in general and you know everything about the teams. I sense a lot of problems with the physio there. In the last three seasons Dortmund has always huge problems with injuries. And many, many times, their main players are out with injuries. I’ve seen seven players missing 10 players missing. Now still, they have three or four important ones, why this is happening?

Kevin:

Yeah. So I think there is an issue, it’s undeniable. You look at the number of players that they have out, but you also look at the style of play. It is all about that kind of… certainly without the ball, the work that is required. I mean, you look at the Lucien Favre, it was slightly different in the sense that he wanted to play more of a counter attack game. But in general, coaches that have been there have demanded this kind of press without the ball. And when they attack, it’s all about sprints, isn’t it? It’s all about bursting into life and attacking in numbers and all that kind of thing.

Kevin:

And you’ve got guys who are tuned athletes. So guys like Haaland, guys like Reus, who doesn’t take much to pick up that kind of strain, that kind of muscle injury. So I think it’s a little bit about the style of play. I think it’s a little bit about the kind of athletes they have at the football club. I think that kind of lends itself to those injuries, but yeah, I think there are questions to answer, because you have that catalog of injuries for as long as they have

Alex:

And why they are not changing the physio team. I mean, what is happening because normally after two seasons having the same kind of problems, it’s of course you change the entire physio team. What the fuck?

Kevin:

And you’ve got this…

Flash:

Sport scientists. If you’ve got finely tuned athletes, you have to adjust and adapt.

Kevin:

The interesting thing is you’ve had different coaches and it’s happened under different coaches with different ideas. So I think that’s definitely something they need to look into. But I think here actually with Gladbach, I did their game last weekend, I’ve watched a lot of Gladbach recently, there are signs that Plea is waking up. There are signs that Hofmann is still their best player, probably going forward. Neuhaus has look good. But there’s still a real fragility about that team. And it doesn’t really make sense, because you look at the personnel, Ginter is very good individually. I love Nico Elvedi, I think he’s a brilliant defender. And then you look at Friedrich who’s the best that Union had to offer. All three of those guys individually, great. But the team can’t defend as a unit. And they gave up a couple of goals against Augsburg. And they record at Signal Iduna Park is atrocious. They’ve lost their last seven. I think they’ve lost like 15 of their last 16, something outrageous like that. So I think this is almost perfect game for Dortmund to kind of bounce back from that disaster

Alex:

And also, big shout out to Jude Bellingham. He’s the next leader of this team,

Kevin:

Terrific.

Alex:

Next leader.

Kevin:

Well he is the leader, I think he’s the leader now.

Alex:

Not even 19 years old and so mature, absolutely amazing.

Flash:

I don’t see him there. I don’t see him there in 18 months. So you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. And I…

Kevin:

Well, I think the plan is, for him to not go this summer, but I think there’s a realism and I think they know that he won’t go at the end of this season, but at the end of the following season, it’ll be very hard to keep him.

Alex:

Still early for him to leave

Flash:

Let’s all have a little look at the official picks. Because the official picks are, Dortmund minus one at +100.

Alex:

I have also…

Flash:

I know

Alex:

It’s not that.

Flash:

And Alex is both teams to score and over three and a half goals at +125. So yes, both teams to score and over three and a half goals at +125. Let’s move on to our final game because I think this could be shooting fish in a barrel. Because we got Hertha versus Liepzig. And Hertha, like the other Berlin side, seem to be going down a slippery slope for me. There are +525. Liepzig at -165. Tough game midweek for them, so I expect this to be a little bit lethargic under or over three goals. With the over being at +110, the draw at +290. Kev, I’ll come to you first, I see this as just been, not a regulation win, but for the away side, just go there and just get the job done and move out of town.

Kevin:

Yeah. Should do. They’ve played a lot better under Domenico Tedesco, thought they were great against Koln on Friday. I thought they played fairly well against Real Sociedad. I think that’s not as bad as result as it looks necessarily.

Alex:

I think that the last 20 minutes, they should have scored at least twice the last 20 minutes, man.

Kevin:

Yeah. I think they’ll one who have won it, but I that’s a dreadful result in the grand scheme of things. But this is about how bad Hertha are. I mean, defensively all over the place. They’ve brought in Marc-Oliver Kempf, who I think is a good individual defender, but Niklas Stark, I think has struggled for a long, long time. I don’t think the goalkeeper’s good enough. Alexander Schwolow. I think he’s a real concern going forward. And the coaching is underwhelming. He seems a nice chap, Tafyun Korkut, but you look at his record, it’s not good enough. And it’s a very curious decision to have brought him in for the rest of the season. There’s a lot of talk they’ll bring in Roger Schmidt, at the end of this campaign. Is he going to be taking over a bundesliga club?

Kevin:

I think they’ll probably be okay in the fullness of time, but there are loads of problems there. And their record against liepzig is just awful, home and way. But especially at home, they’ve been hammered a few times by Liepzig. The only thing that held me back from this, and I was very, very tempted to just go Liepzig minus one on the handicap. The only thing is the rotation. They’ll probably need to do how much Thursday’s taken out of them, that kind of thing. But I do think Liepzig will probably win this and they’ll probably win it by a couple of goals.

Flash:

Yeah. I don’t see Hertha scoring, to be honest. I mean Hertha at half and they puff, but I don’t think they control the game, I think Liepzig, controlled the game and Hertha will be on the back foot and Hertha have not got enough in the final third. It’ll have to be very, very sloppy play for me, Alex, for the home side to score.

Alex:

I think you’re right, I think that Hertha will have huge, huge problems on finding the back of the net in this one Liepzig are very, very good lately under Tedesco. Again, they were a bit unlucky not to beat Real Sociedad in the Europa league match. I think that they will return to winning ways against a very poor Hertha side. Who, if they’re not careful, they will go down at the end of the season. Thank God that for them, that there are many more teams worse than them in this league. Anyway, like Greuther Furth, will 100% they will go down. After that four, five teams there are fighting for the last two spots, are fighting to avoid the last two relegation spots.

Alex:

But RB Liepzig right now are on fire, inform, Nkunku, Silva, Yussuf Poulsen, all of them. And Ashley was saying on the chat, Nkunku anytime gaolscorer, you can’t go wrong with that lately. So I think that he is the one to score. But I’m going with Liepzig and over 1.5 goals in the match. Price at -125, I think that they have the attacking firepower to score at least twice on their own. And if they score twice, they win the game. That’s why I went for this bet and not for minus one, because I’m pretty sure that they will score twice. Hopefully, they will also keep a clean sheet. So I’m going for a safe bet in this one.

Flash:

Okay. Let’s have a little look at the official picks. I see two nil from the away win, to be honest. Liepzig, went to nil +190, I felt that was unbelievable value. Liepzig and over 1.5 and -125. Now, before we go and give you the official picks, then we’ve got the Q and A. And the first one is Abera saying Koln versus Frankfurt, why did we not go for that one Kev?

Kevin:

Because I think they’re both on a similar level. And I think Frankfurt are a really hard team to judge at the moment. Because they were poor against Wolfsburg, but there’s real potential in that team. And I think they’ve got a really good coach. Koln, I thought played okay against Liepzig, but they really struggled to defend against them in transition. They kept on plugging away, which I thought was great in terms of the effort that’s there. But it did show that they’re quite reliant on Modeste. And I know he’s back, but I did think that they looked a bit blunt. So for me, it was quite a tricky game to say with certainty, what would happen. Because I could see a crazy game, like a two-two, or I could see Glasner trying to shut it down, and maybe there’s only one or two goals in the game. So that’s why I avoided it.

Flash:

Okay. Alex Fandom Jack says is Haaland still out?

Alex:

Doubtful. He’s given as a doubtful, still not 100%. I don’t think that they will risk him in this one. I think that probably he will start on the bench and maybe forced in the second half if needed, but I don’t see him playing in this one. Against [inaudible 00:35:37]

Flash:

Didn’t ask you.

Alex:

Okay. Let’s let’s move on.

Flash:

No, no, come on. We all want your wisdom. And I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll ask Wolfsburg versus Hoffenheim please.

Alex:

Ah, for me Wolfsburg versus Hoffenheim. So at the first look here, you should go with the goals market overs, but do we trust Hoffenheim after a poor run form? Yes, they bounced back against the Arminia Bielefeld, but Arminia Bielefeld are in the danger zone there. On the other side Wolfsburg revived, two wins in a row, which is really good. And I thought that they were pretty lucky last time against Eintracht. Eintracht very bad with the last ball there. They created a lot, but if they failed to find the back of the net. I never thought that that match would stay under 2.5 and killed our final pick of the round. So I think that we should see goals in this one, over 2.5 probably is the way to go.

Flash:

Okay, excellent. That’s from, Barssman, he’s given the old thumbs up to you, Alex and to Kev.

Flash:

So please show a bit of appreciation by putting the thumbs up at the moment. We’re at 50%, 84 watching 42 thumbs up. Let’s have a quick look at all the official picks of the show. And remember, there’s been a couple added as well. That’s the records. So obviously we’ll see the official picks just after the records, I guess. Okay. So I’ve obviously added on there Augsburg money line +200 and Alex’s Leverkusen team total over 1.5 at -120. Dortmund and Gladbach, both teams to score and over three and a half goals at +125. God, no one in the graphics like that one, Alex, did they? No one wants to even acknowledge…

Alex:

Hopefully this is not a jinx.

Flash:

That’s what I’m saying. That’s why I’m like, they’re trying to tell you something. Don’t bet that one. And as you can see, Kev’s gone completely crazy with value two +160, +190 and +100. For everybody in the chat, I must, well, I half apologize, but then I’ve got to take it back because it’s not my fault. Been very, very unwell this week with flu. So this is,

Alex:

This is the new name. [crosstalk 00:39:02].

Flash:

Hopefully I’ll get some rest over the weekend and I’ll be firing on all cylinders. Come Monday morning for the champions league show. And then on Tuesday, it will be Europa league. Kev, go well, mate, enjoy your games. Just give us the two games, you’re going to be covering again.

Kevin:

So I’m on Mainz Leverkusen tonight, which I think will be a lot of fun. And I’m on that Augsburg Freiburg game tomorrow. So if Augsburg get the second, it might be a more vociferous goal call than usual.

Flash:

Yes, that’s what we like to hear. That’s what we like to hear. Alex, can we not have a no 95th minute goals, that gets you the Alex classic.

Alex:

No. We love adrenaline.

Flash:

Can you not get a little bit earlier?

Alex:

We love adrenaline and like cappers, like gamblers, we love a last minute goal when it’s for us. Not against us.

Flash:

Excellent. Listen, everyone in the chat really appreciate your support. Remember to tell your friends and family and we’ll be welcoming to them too. So Kev, Alex have a great weekend from everyone at BetUs. May all your bets be winners.

Alex:

Good luck.

Flash:
