00:00uh two teams i'm familiar with the premier league tottenham and manchester united

00:03uh they will face off they play later today uh let's get into this matchup here and sort of what

00:09the europa league is exactly because i'm familiar with the premier and the champions and all of

00:15these things and uh bundesliga i mean there's a lot of them out there tell me about the europa

00:19league there sure is yeah so this is the second tier competition below the champions league so

00:25for clubs that didn't make it into the champions league there's the europa league and then there's

00:29the conference league which is the third tier competition below that relatively new one but

00:34these two have been around for a long time champions league europa league you just don't hear about this

00:37one as much because everybody cares about the champions league but what's great about the

00:41europa league is that if you win it you qualify for the champions league next year so that's exactly

00:47what tottenham and manchester united are fighting for which is a huge deal because the money that

00:53comes with that is massive if you look at the prize money for the europa league so the winner of the

00:59europa league can earn a maximum over the course of the competition if they win all of their league

01:04phase games and then make it all the way and win the title of about 25 million euros from start to

01:10finish they earn around 20 million euros just for qualifying for the champions league league phase

01:18so you would almost double your prize money by winning the competition just to qualify for the

01:25champions league next year so there's a huge amount of money on the line in this game and these two teams

01:31really need that tottenham are in 17th in the premier league table manchester united are in 16th they

01:38both had absolutely dismal league seasons they've gone all in on european competition and whoever doesn't

01:47come out of this game with a win is going to be really really uh the the bad season is going to be

01:55staring them right in the face whereas whoever comes out of this with a european title can pretty much

02:00forget about the horrible league season that they've had and go hey we won a european trophy we're in the

02:05champions league next year so there's this is a weird european final because there's not really as much to

02:12gain as there is to lose the loser is going to come out of this in real trouble so there's a lot to lose

02:20in this game and it's a really weird dynamic in that sense but looking at this game i like manchester

02:28united in this game it is a game between two teams that have really struggled domestically they've had

02:34a great european season but now they face a team that's from their own domestic league so it's a hard one

02:40to call two evenly matched teams but manchester united beat better teams to reach this stage they

02:46beat athletic club in the semis they beat leon in the the quarterfinals tottenham doesn't really have

02:52the same draw that they used to reach the final and and i i just like them you they were at plus 140

03:00yesterday they're down near plus 125 to win in 90 minutes now the the market has been clearly moving

03:07in the direction of manchester united um and then i really like yellow cards in this game because of

03:12what we talked about how much there is to lose in it it's going to be a very emotional game the german

03:17referee felix zweier has shown a lot of yellow cards this season almost uh i think five and a half cards

03:23per game or or over that total in europe this season which is a huge amount um and that's where the line

03:30is five and a half it's a high bar to clear but i like getting the over at around plus 125 uh it should

03:37be an emotional one and a fun one now no i didn't say a good one i don't think this is going to be a

03:42high quality game but it should be a very exciting game

03:45cool
