## Transcript

this weekend, so we thought it's a good time to get back into our betting previews and picks. We've got a five for you. We've got a English Premier League covered. We've got Spain La Liga. We've got Italy Serie A. We've also got one
got Italy Serie A. We've also got one from the Swiss Super League and one from the Belgium Jupiler League. So, that's five bets in total. I won't mess around crack on with the five. >> Let's kick off with English Premier
League match between Ipswich and Sunderland. Now, Ipswich were relegated at the end of the 2024-25 season. They did bounce back, however, at the first opportunity by finishing second in last season's Championship.
Under the guidance of Gary O'Neil, we thought they performed particularly well, especially when playing at home, and that has always been this club's seem to have learned from being
relegated a few seasons back because they have been investing heavily in new players. In fact, if you look at the player transactions, you can see that player transactions, you can see that the club actually invested another 166
million. That is absolutely a fortune for a club of this size. With the fans behind them at home, the Tractor Boys are very strong, so we think that Sunderland who actually surprised everybody by finishing seventh in last
season's Premier League. With that said, the Black Cats were just the 13th best traveler, and Regis Le Bris is going to have a few issues this season, we believe anyway. And the reason for that is quite simple. They recently sold one
of their best players in Maïté N'Diaye for 22 million, and they don't seem to have done anything to replace him. This team is playing in European competitions this season. That's going to stretch them, that's for sure. So, we think that
Sunderland are there to be taken on unless something happens. You you unless they bring in some new players later on. We don't think that's going to happen before the weekend and that's why we want to start off with the English
Premier League bet on Ipswich, but we're going to take the draw no bet just for a safety net. You're still getting nice odds of two. We think that's more than fair. Ipswich draw no bet. In Italy Serie A, we're going to be betting on
the match between Parma and Cagliari. Now, these teams finished 13th and 14th respectively last season. Just two points separated the two clubs. If you actually look at the points that Parma took at home, it was 21, which compared
to 18 away for Cagliari. We should also mention that the match in this stadium mention that the match in this stadium ended 1-1. So, based on those numbers, it should be a fairly balanced fixture. Now, as far as Parma go, they did sell a
few players during the summer and one of them was the Japan goalkeeper Suzuki. He had a really good World Cup, but when we looked at him last season actually wanted to take the money. You know, the players that are coming in, they've been
buying well. They've gone to the markets. They've actually taken on a few loans, paid for them. So, you know, they still managed in to get a decent quality of player in there. Under the guidance of Collecchio, this team, in our
opinion, can only improve and that's why we expect them to beat Cagliari. Now, as far as the visitors go, they didn't do that much in the transfer market. So, Fabio Pisacane must believe that he's got the right players on board to
actually have an impact again this season, but we do have to mention that season, but we do have to mention that Sebastian Esposito won't be playing this weekend. It looks like he's going to be shipping out. He's actually being put
that's necessarily the case. It's just that they're going to cash in on another player. And if he does go, it's going to create a lot of problems because he probably was one of the most efficient players in the Cagliari team last
season. Now, as far as Cagliari go, they are much better when they play at home, that much of an impact when they play in this match away. And we're quite bet again, you know, the plus minus zero in Asia odds of 1.82 about par, so that
Liga, where we're going to be betting on the match between Athletic and Sevilla. their campaign. This is going to be the first match for them. Sevilla did play a
Rayo Vallecano. We'll come on to that in a second. But as far as Athletic go, had a very disappointing last season. Didn't qualify for Europe, which is a rare for League or at least the Conference League. It didn't happen. Consequences
are that the coach is gone. A new one's come in. Edin Terzić, the German coach, has taken over, and we do expect him to get a much better song out of these players. He's inherited a 29-man squad with an average age of 26.7, so
relatively experienced. Now, the thing about Athletic, as you probably know, is that they are particularly strong when they playing back at home in the Basque Country. No team likes visiting Athletic's stadium. The crowd are onto
their backs, so you know, that's something that we need to bear in mind. And we do think Athletic will be really well prepared for this opening game. Now, Sevilla, like we mentioned, did win their opening match against Rayo
Vallecano. Came from a goal down that day. They won that at home fixture 2-1. day. They won that at home fixture 2-1. In the first half, absolutely dreadful. Sevilla didn't do nothing, and they were actually fortunate to go in being just a
1-0 down. It could have been much worse, but in the second half, they did seem to buck up their ideas. Actually scored from two penalties, which obviously, you the Spanish referees is always a big
Rayo Vallecano had a goal struck off. They had opportunities maybe themselves for a penalty. Probably one that should have been given wasn't. So, you know, Sevilla got away with it, let's put it like that. If we actually look at the
nothing special. If you really go through the actual players that are available, then I'm afraid you start to think to yourself this Sevilla club is really going downhill fast. So, we're going to take Athletic
with odds of 1.78. That's more than decent. We think that will probably go down when reality starts you know, near of the weekend. A quick lesson. Betting is about the odds. The sooner
you understand that, the more chance you will have of profiting long-term from a sports betting. What you've got to do is make sure that you work hard on getting the very best odds possible. Never take prices that have gone. Your biggest
advantage over the sports book is simply this. You get to pick and choose when to bet. They put up the prices, they're there for the taking. So, what I would shopping. You know, make sure you give yourself enough bookmakers, and then
you've got that choice where you should be able to fish out efficient odds and hopefully get into profits. When you're looking at other videos and people are looking at other videos and people are picking odds of 1.25, 1.33, 1.40, you've
got to think to yourself 125, they need 80%. 133, they need 75%. And obviously, 80%. 133, they need 75%. And obviously, at 1.40, they need 72% of their tips are correctly. It's a different ballgame. This is professional betting. We do the
draw no bets as you like to call them, but we call them plus minus. Asian handicaps are the most efficient way of sports betting. So, please again, you know, try to think for yourselves that
know, try to think for yourselves that sports betting is all about the odds. In on the match between Young Boys at Bern and Vaduz. Now, Young Boys Bern, they actually won six of the last nine championships in the Swiss Super League.
They only finished sixth last season, which was a major disappointment, but we do think that they are actually going to bounce back and win it again this season. So, let me explain to you why. They are not playing in Europe, which
means that they can actually focus fully on the league. Their initial results, they played three games to date. They won 6-0 against Thun away. They won 4-2 against Sion at home. And then they drew 2-2 against Lausanne in the last round.
While that looks like a dodgy result on paper, I do have to say that they had a red card at 58 minutes, a player sent off, and still performed incredibly well to get that 2-2 draw. The YBB coach, Gerardo Seoane, has clearly got his
Gerardo Seoane, has clearly got his players in fine nick. They look really uh in good shape going into this match. And don't forget, when they're playing at home, they are playing on an artificial surface, which does suit them
much better than any opponent. And that's especially the case when that opponent is a newly promoted Vaduz. Now, this team from Liechtenstein, the principality, have been playing in Europe, and they've also played three
games in the Super League until this point. They actually lost all those three games, and they are out of the European competitions. And while it's true for both the coaches that they are without players, I don't think it's
going to affect Young Boys as much as it's going to affect Vaduz. In fact, we're expecting a very big scoreline here. This could be like a 4-5-6-0. So, we're going to be taking Young Boys with minus 1.5 goals. In European handicap
terms, that's minus one. You've got to win by two or more. In your Asian win by two or more. In your Asian handicaps is minus 1.5. 1.78, we think a little bit higher if you want to really try your luck, but Young Boys
and we're going to be betting them with a big one. In the Belgium Jupiter and we're going to bet on the match between Charleroi and Mechelen. Now, if you go back to last season, then Mechelen had a fantastic campaign. In
fact, the Kakas, they finished in the championship group places. Unfortunately for them though, they dropped at two bottom of that group, which means that not going to affect for that means that they had to get rid of a few players
during the summer to balance the books and they don't necessarily have the same strength of squad as they did last season. We should also mention with Mechelen that they've started this season a little bit precariously. They
drew 3-3 in the last round against Sint-Truiden, nothing with the odds. They came from 3-1 behind, really battled till the last second, needed a battled till the last second, needed a very late equalizer. But all in all,
what we saw from the team is that they lacked something in midfield. Now, the Oostende, they come into this having won their two opening games despite actually summer. They still look to have, you know, some kind of strength there and
the players that were, you know, initially a little bit inexperienced last season are starting to come through. Wait, so we're expecting more from the Zebras this season under the new manager Mario Kemner. He seems to
have his players really knowing their job and we do like the way that Charleroi have actually started the season and we can see them playing at home with this newly found confidence. They can only get better. So, we're
going to be betting them to win at odds of 1.80. So, that's a wrap. We do hope you get something out of this video. You know, we are back again. We're going to season. Obviously, those international breaks, we're not too interested in, but
the rest of the season we're going to be giving free picks each weekend. I'll try to get them up on a Friday evening. That seems to be the best time actually to post these bets for Saturday and Sunday. But other than that, yeah, just keep it
here, you know, keep learning and make sure that you work on yourself. That's start working on yourself, learn to think for yourself as opposed to always start creating like a little bit of an angle
for yourself, right? So, just bear that in mind. I'm Tony from Bet Analysts. We'll see you in the next one soon. Take care. Bye-bye.
