Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Shawn Martin joins us from Bet MGM.

[00:00:03]We're going to look at some of the top sporting events, the odds round and about them. Sean, good morning to you, mate. I mean, what an event. The Champions League final, Arsenal PSG, uh, in Budapest this Saturday night. We eagerly look forward to it. Talk all over it. Jim Proudoot, Sher Pierce going to be there bringing live commentary.

[00:00:24]What you thinking?

[00:00:26]>> Morning, L. Yeah. So I know Alex spoke to to you guys yesterday and Emanuel PT yesterday, but given it's Danny in the studio still came to hear how he thinks the kind of cards will fall for Arsenal on Saturday. It's just over 2 to1 for the draw in 90 just under 2 to1 for an Arsenal win in 90. 37 to 20 for them to lift the trophy. 13-10 PSG in 90 and 3 to4 for PSG to lift the trophy. So a definite favor over the course and course and distance there. And I do notice Arsenal have moved a tad further out in the odds since yesterday as well.

[00:00:59]A couple injury concerns for PSG. The likes of Akime and Dembele, massive players. Timber probably the main one for Arsenal. But I'm curious, Danny, what you think has to happen here for Arsenal to do the business and generally what your shout is for how you actually see it playing out in terms of the end result.

[00:01:15]>> Well, to win they're going to have to defend really, really well, which they do very often. bit of luck go their way, keeper be as good as he's been, make a couple of good saves somewhere along the line. And yeah, they'll need a tad bit of a luck because PSG make so many chances with the quality they got in the front line.

[00:01:29]>> Um, but if anyone's equipped, it's Arsenal, best defensive side in Europe, if not the world.

[00:01:34]>> Um, I think it'd be tight. I think it'll be tight. I think if they played each other 10 times, PSG' come out on top.

[00:01:40]>> But in a one-off game, you know, one bad decision, you could be early in the game, anything can happen. I mean, they're capable. They're more than capable. If if I was PSG and I looked across Europe, who who who would have what not not want to play in the final, it would be Arsenal.

[00:01:53]>> Okay. It was interesting. You mentioned Emanuel Pati. Um Sean, he was on with us yesterday and he he said the way he looked at their pre-match media duties and and the messages that were coming out from those to him suggested maybe a little air of overconfidence from PSG.

[00:02:11]excitement um dreaming about winning the Champions League twice in a row, making even more um history, you know, and um everything is green light so far, you know, at Paris Sanjama in France as well about the Paris Sanjama when you hear the the sport show on football, you know, radio, newspapers, everybody that loves football and that like um Paris Sanjama, it's for me a little bit too much confidence. Oh, >> they have the feeling that they are far away from Arsenal. They are much better than them. If you look at the communication, of course, they won't say it, but um in you know the communication internal communication, you can hear you know something different that individuals and collectively the team is much better than Arsenal and I can agree until a certain limit. Uh but um I don't think u Luis Eni will leave you know um the situation like that you know the confidence you know spread into the the dressing room.

[00:03:16]>> It's interesting Danny he's suggesting the feeling that PSG is we're far superior to Arsenal.

[00:03:22]>> Well he might know more than I do you know he's obviously got contacts and friends at PSG but the great players and great teams have that confidence and arrogance about themselves. I mean it it never translates into a poor performance in Europe. That's for sure.

[00:03:36]>> Yeah.

[00:03:37]>> Their energy and their work ethic and their quality in the games I've seen has been phenomenal. And even the contrast in their playing that the Bayern Munich second game where they had to dig in, put men behind the ball and defend for the lives. They did that brilliantly.

[00:03:50]Every one of them, the forward players work just as hard. They've actually these two teams have got an unbelievable work ethic which is credit to the coaches on both sides. But >> it's Yeah, I don't know. I've not I've not the interview I saw Vatinia interviewed the other day and he was humble and said the right thing. I'm not sure where he's going with that but as I say >> too what what is the betting saying then Sean?

[00:04:11]>> Yeah I mean PSG are the favorites as I say over the course of distance they're their odds on to win to to kind of lift the trophy. It is really difficult to win back-to-back Champions leagues especially in the Champions League era.

[00:04:21]It's only Real Madrid that's done it in that era and you think some of the some of the teams Messi's Barcelona Peps Barcelona Ferguson's Man United teams like that AC Milan it's it's very very difficult to win it back to back and also what I would say is PSG going forward I think without a doubt are better >> Arsenal I think have only conceded it's either six or eight goals in the Champions League this season PSG have conceded 22 so they can be got at so that there is definite definite belief there for Arsenal I would say >> okay Sean obviously Tonight, Crystal Palace, Rya Valicano, Conference League final in Leipzig. Sam's here for us. So to Alan Pardio. What are you thinking on that? Uh yeah, Palace do go on as favorites for this and the price seems to be coming in all the time.

[00:05:06]Currently it's 22 to 25 for them to win in 90 minutes. 21 to 50 just to lift the trophy. So So quite good. Quite long odds on for both. Like the Arsenal game, it's just over 2 to1 for it to finish a draw after 90 minutes. And it's round about 3 to1 for Rio Valicano in 90 and 8 to5 for them to lift the trophy. Now both have conceded the same number of goals and kept the same amount of clean sheets. It's eighth in La Liga versus 15th in the Premier League. Not putting a massive amount of stock in that. La Liga was a bit crazy at the end of the season the last couple of games. Had they not got a win in a draw, I think Rio would have maybe slipped down to about 13th or so. But nonetheless, potentially a closer game than 3 to1 for a ri win suggests. And I mean whether or not it's quite reached massive tournament status yet, it's certainly a massive massive game for Crystal Palace in terms of won a second trophy in just over a year and what it will mean to fans. But also two the fact that if they do win it, it carries Europa League qualification for next season. So the payoff is immediate as well as you know kind of historic, isn't it, Simon? I don't know. Are you confident tonight?

[00:06:09]>> Yeah, very much so. I mean, I don't think this I mean, listen, this is a side that's um that's um set up well by Oliver Glazner, but I think the opposition is are not slobs. They're not going to have it all their own way. You look at their recent results. They only just got beaten the other day 1 nil by Barcelona. So, you look at this team in their own league, they're not a bad team, but I think Palace should have enough about them >> to a correctness of being in this situation in the first place. They're playing in the Conference League and they able to get two seasons in Europe, which is what Texter alluded to when he was in there actually to get two seasons in Europe potentially by winning the European Conference League. They've been in Europe before um years and years ago and got knocked out very early um after I think they won the um after we won the Zenf Data Systems Cup against Everton in the cup final then got a European passes as a result of that. But this is you know as much as I think the European Conference League is a >> a Mickey Mouse one in comparison with the Europa and the Champions League for Palace. It's great. It opens other doors and tragically for Glasnner if he wins it he should be going out the door as an all conquering hero of having delivered an FA Cup with three trophies actually if they win they'll have done the FA Cup the charity shield if everyone else bugger's going to count charity shield we'll count it too um and he'll go out the door with people being unhappy with his outburst and his attitude >> certainly won't affect his legacy though I think he'll be looked back in 10 years he'll >> I tell you what it's affected his opportunity to get jobs >> that might do it has affected his opportunity to get jobs I was having a conversation with one a club the other day who I went to watch and one of the things they said that they wouldn't have thanked Glasn for was because of that.

[00:07:35]>> Yeah, maybe he wouldn't want that job.

[00:07:36]>> The most important thing for Palace, Simon, is if they do if they do win it, obviously they have the celebration, but more so >> when you're trying to attract players to Palace would be competing with other clubs of a similar level. Europa League football is a good pull.

[00:07:49]>> Yeah, >> it's a good pull.

[00:07:51]>> I like Glassner a lot. And when I caught up with him in London not that long ago, he was like, "Sure, I felt abandoned some time ago." We'll speak more about this, Simon.

[00:08:00]Um, so as for the betting, do you want to finish on that and then I'll throw the Charles Schwab preview at Danny?

[00:08:07]>> Okay.

[00:08:08]>> Um, and let's hope he's suitably prepared for that, Sean. But what about the betting tonight?

[00:08:12]>> Yeah, I'm actually curious what team it was Simon was was talking about. He's obviously not going to tell us, but >> new best pal London, but anyway, >> Chelsea, was it Chelsea?

[00:08:23]>> And what Chelsea would think twice if we're going for Oliver.

[00:08:25]>> All right. Okay. Well, they've got Jabi.

[00:08:28]Um, where are we going with this then?

[00:08:30]Sean.

[00:08:30]>> Yeah, sorry. Just to recap the bet.

[00:08:32]Yeah, Crystal Palace actually moved again. They're they're now 9 to 10. So again, odds on and that's in 90 minutes.

[00:08:38]Ra Vano still 3 to1, 41 to 20. So just over 2 to1 for the draw. They're all 90 minutes to lift the trophy. Crystal Palace 21 to 50. So quite quite heavy favorites. And Ry Valicano 31 to 20. Jim >> Cheezo. Okay. The aforementioned Charles Schwab. What be thinking about that?

[00:08:57]Uh yeah, out at Colonial in Texas, Ben Griffin, defending champ from last year.

[00:09:01]He's at 22 to1 to repeat. Coming into this, Windham Clark won the Byron Nelson last week's a 50 to1 pre-ournament shot.

[00:09:08]Scottish Heffler again, Danny, another top 10 finish. His seventh of the season, I think it is, but again, another week without that win. Neither of those guys tee it up at the Charles Schwab, but it is still quite a strong field, Danny. We've got Ludvig Goldberg, 8 to1 favorite ahead of Russell Henley at 16s. And you'd imagine Justin Thomas will fancy it. He's at 18 after he's finished to the the PGA Championship a couple of weeks ago. Good to see Ricky Fler back in a bit form. We were talking about this this morning as well. Okay.

[00:09:33]Not at the P PGA but in the weeks preceding it. He's 18 and I think or I hope it's time to see big Bob McIntyre's form turn big for yeah he was doing well before the Masters but missed the cut at Augusta just not been up there in the events he's played since. He's 22s.

[00:09:49]Hideki Matsuyama in there as well. 28 to1. And over and above that, Danny, three weeks tomorrow till the US Open.

[00:09:55]They just come around thick and fast this time of year.

[00:09:57]>> They do. This one this weekend's a little bit underwhelming to be honest. I thought the the one at the weekend was great. It was a birdie festival when Clark was unbelievable getting over the line. 30 under was for four something ridiculous.

[00:10:09]>> 30 under.

[00:10:10]>> Yeah, it was unbel they absolutely tore the course apart. But yeah, this weekend maybe what what price on Batier because um he's just I mean he's he's a wonderful player but he maybe he's not had the >> success he's had last season just yet but he'll be a bit he'll be a decent price I would imagine.

[00:10:26]>> Yeah, he's 33 to1 to win it. Uh 71 top five and 72 top 10. So yeah, good value there from him.

[00:10:33]>> Yeah, top five.

[00:10:33]>> Okay, interesting. The Charles Schwab.

[00:10:35]What do you think, Simon?

[00:10:37]>> Okay, >> thank you so much Sean. Lovely. Visit betmg.co.uk.
