Bayern Munich are in scarily good form at the moment and should benefit from the return of Harry Kane for Saturday's Bundesliga trip to BayArena. Vincent Kompany's side smashed Atalanta 6-1 in Bergamo on Tuesday without the England striker, who also missed their 4-1 home win over Monchengladbach last weekend.Leverkusen also impressed on the continental stage in midweek and their performance in a 1-1 draw against Arsenal should give them confidence, but the visit of the Bundesliga leaders represents an even tougher test.

Beim Topspiel zwischen Bayern und Bayern hat Schiri Dankert viel zu tun. Nico gewinnt das Schlotterbeck-Duell mit dem BVB gegen Augsburg und Bruder Keven. Dieter Hecking punktet bei seiner Wolfsburg-Rückkehr in Sinsheim. Frankfurt ringt Heidenheim nieder und der HSV und Köln teilen sich im Abendspiel die Punkte.

On this episode, Harry Symeou looks back on Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Arsenal in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie. The hosts took the lead early through Robert Andrich but should he have been on the pitch? The Gunners found an equaliser late on after substitute Noni Madueke was brought down in the penalty area before former Leverkusen star and darling of the BayArena Kai Havertz converted the spot-kick to wipe out the host's lead. Again, there are question marks over Arsenal's attacking performance, why are we so lacklustre at times? We get into all of that and more.

Arsenal leave Germany with a draw, but the performance in Leverkusen sparks plenty of debate.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, the team breaks down the 1–1 draw away to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League Round of 16. From the starting XI decisions and early refereeing controversies to Martinelli rattling the crossbar and a frustrating attacking display, the discussion explores where the performance fell short and why Arsenal struggled to impose themselves on the game.The panel looks closely at the tactical setup, including the continued use of the double pivot and Jurriën Timber's advanced role, while analysing difficult nights for several key players. Bukayo Saka's performance, Martinelli's finishing, and the absence of Martin Ødegaard all feature in a wider conversation about how Arsenal are currently building attacks — and why the team is finding it harder to break down organised opponents.Attention then turns to the decisive moment late in the match as Noni Madueke wins a controversial penalty. Was there enough contact? Would it have been overturned in the Premier League? Kai Havertz steps up to convert and rescue the draw, but the debate continues over whether Arsenal escaped Leverkusen with a fortunate result or earned it through persistence.Beyond the match itself, the hosts discuss the wider context of Arsenal's season — the fine margins, the physical demands of the schedule, and the mentality that has kept the team difficult to beat across competitions.Part two shifts to the regular features, including the Who Am I? game and the weekend prediction segment, with Liverpool vs Tottenham and Chelsea vs Newcastle under the spotlight.Finally, the conversation turns back to Arsenal with a preview of the upcoming Premier League clash against Everton. With the title race tightening and a demanding run of fixtures ahead — including the second leg against Leverkusen and the Carabao Cup final — the team assesses squad rotation, injury concerns, and the importance of maintaining control in the margins that define championship seasons.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:51) - Starting XI Reaction: Havertz on the Bench & Tactical Setup(02:34) - Early Refereeing Controversy & Champions League Standards Debate(07:15) - Martinelli Hits the Bar: Arsenal's Best First-Half Chance(08:04) - Saliba & Gabriel Struggles Playing Out From the Back(09:08) - Half-Time Verdict: Good Arsenal or Bad Arsenal?(09:29) - “Atrocious Arsenal” Second-Half Start & Leverkusen Goal(11:14) - Arsenal Response Debate & Control vs Reality(13:21) - Timber's Advanced Role & Lack of Attacking Penetration(15:03) - Saka Subbed Off & Madueke Impact Discussion(17:09) - Arsenal Chase the Game & Havertz Introduction(18:54) - Late Penalty Controversy: Was It Soft?(24:32) - Arteta vs Player Responsibility Debate(26:34) - Stats & Tactical Discussion: Double Pivot vs Single Pivot(31:47) - Martinelli Debate & Left-Wing Concerns(33:08) - Havertz Equaliser & Arsenal Escape with 1–1 Draw(33:33) - Champions League Round-of-16 Reactions & English Teams Struggle(37:01) - Winter Break Debate & European Scheduling Impact(39:58) - Part 2 Intro & “Who Am I?” Game(41:20) - Prediction Game: Liverpool vs Tottenham(48:51) - Chelsea vs Newcastle Preview(51:26) - Six Pack: Everton vs Arsenal Six “Business End” Talking Points(54:09) - Arsenal vs Everton Match Preview(56:35) - Squad Rotation Discussion: Havertz, Saka, Madueke & White(59:17) - Left Wing Debate: Martinelli vs Alternatives(01:05:53) - Final Everton Match Thoughts(01:07:39) - “Who Am I?” Answer Revealed

Nach dem Kölner 4:1-Hinspielsieg gegen den HSV herrschte Jubel, Trubel, Heiterkeit. Danach folgten aber nur noch zwei Siege in 16 Partien. Wie ernst ist die Lage beim Effzeh vor dem Rückspiel und wie sehr muss Trainer Lukas Kwasniok um seinen Job fürchten? Außerdem: Leverkusen überrascht gegen Arsenal. Ist die große Überraschung drin?

PSG put the daggers into Chelsea with a 5-2 beat down and HH gets cooked by the panel. (5:44) A nasty YSK receipt for HH. (47:13) Real Madrid and Fede VALVERDE 3-piece puts the beat down on Man City. (1:26:32) Arsenal's chances to get the job done against Leverkusen in the second leg. (3:05:22) Bodo/Glimt dream debut continues with their 3-0 win over Sporting Lisbon. (3:26:57)

Die Hälfte der Rückrunde ist quasi rum: Neun Spieltage bleiben den Teams in der Bundesliga noch, um ihre Saisonziele erreichen oder Schlimmeres zu verhindern. An der Tabellenspitze marschiert der FC Bayern München vorneweg und könnte zur Bremse für die Champions-League-Ambitionen von Bayer Leverkusen werden. Beide Teams haben unter der Woche gute Spiele in der Champions League gezeigt. Bayern kann nach dem 6:1 gegen Bergamo direkt wieder in den Schonmodus schalten, Leverkusen hätte mehr als „nur“ ein 1:1 gegen Arsenal verdient gehabt, hat aber vor allem gezeigt, wie viel Klasse in der Mannschaft steckt: Allen voran Ibrahim Maza. Dass das auch für eine Überraschung gegen die Bayern reicht, glauben unsere Hosts Tobi Schäfer und Anne Hilt allerdings nicht. Dabei wären die ungeplanten Punkte wichtig, denn Leverkusen hat schon drei Punkte Rückstand auf einen sicheren Champions-League-Platz. Direkt vor dem Vizemeister stehen der VfB Stuttgart und RB Leipzig, die sich im direkten Duell gegenseitig die Punkte wegnehmen an diesem Wochenende. Relativ komfortabel ist die Situation auch für Borussia Dortmund (acht Punkte Vorsprung auf Platz 5) und auch der FC Augsburg, Gegner der Borussia am Samstag, dürfte weder großartig nach unten noch nach oben schauen – „Graue-Maus“ eben… Von den Teams, die international in der Verlosung sind, hat die TSG Hoffenheim am Samstag die vermeintlich leichteste Aufgabe, allerdings hat der Tabellenvorletzte, der VfL Wolfsburg, Dieter Hecking als neuen Trainer verpflichtet, der die Wölfte vor dem Abstieg bewahren soll. Der SC Freiburg (gegen den 1. FC Union Berlin) und Eintracht Frankfurt (gegen den 1. FC Heidenheim) liefern sich am Samstag bzw. Sonntag ein Fernduell um Platz 7, der ja auch für's internationale Geschäft reichen könnte. Noch mehr Spannung ist allerdings im Tabellenkeller geboten: Im Topspiel kommt es zum Aufsteigerduell zwischen dem Hamburger SV und dem 1. FC Köln. Das Hinspiel war ein wildes 4:1 für Köln mit zwei Platzverweisen gegen den HSV. Vor dem Rückspiel haben sich die Vorzeichen gedreht: Wird DAS das Endspiel für Lukas Kwasniok? Den Sonntag eröffnet der SV Werder Bremen gegen den 1. FSV Mainz 05. Ein Punkt trennt die beiden auf Platz 13 und 15. Wer bringt mehr Flow mit? Bremen aus den beiden Siegen zuletzt oder vielleicht Mainz aus der Conference League? Zum Auftakt in den 26. Spieltag haben sowohl Borussia Mönchengladbach als auch der FC St Pauli die Chance, sich in eine gute Ausgangslage für den Endspurt zu bringen. Auch die beiden trennt nur ein Punkt. Allerdings steht St. Pauli auf dem Relegationsplatz, Gladbach ist 12. Das alles besprechen wir in der aktuellen Folge.

Post‑Leverkusen (A) UCL R16 L1 / Pre‑Everton (H)Hotel Rooms, Red Bulls & a Ropey 1–1Recorded the morning after Arsenal's Champions League Round of 16 first leg in Leverkusen, Tabs and Mos deliver a very different episode — live from a Cologne hotel room, running on limited sleep, too much caffeine, and the emotional hangover of a frustrating 1–1 draw.We relive the entire away‑day experience: travel disasters, train strikes, last‑minute flights, Red Bull‑fuelled insomnia, and the surreal vibe of watching Arsenal in Germany for the first time. On the pitch, they break down a performance that felt flat, disjointed, and strangely passive. Saka struggled, Eze drifted, Martinelli couldn't get going, and even Saliba and Gabriel looked shaky. Tabs and Mos dig into why Arsenal never found rhythm, how Leverkusen controlled phases without creating much, and why Odegaard's absence left a glaring “O‑zone” hole in midfield.There were positives: Noni Madueke's impact off the bench, Havertz's ice‑cold penalty, and the fact that Arsenal leave Germany level — a result that looks a lot better when compared to the other English clubs' first‑leg disasters.The episode wraps with a look ahead to Everton at home: the lineup questions, the fitness concerns, and why Arsenal need to snap back into gear quickly with the season entering its decisive stretch.Key Talking PointsChaos in Cologne: travel nightmares, caffeine overdoses, and hotel‑room podcastingThe BayArena experience: friendly staff, easy access, and a strange “friendly‑match” vibe early onSaka's off‑day, Eze's nonchalance, Martinelli's struggles, and an off defensive displayNoni Madueke's directness vs Saka's stop‑start styleHavertz's penalty narrative and composureLeverkusen's control vs Arsenal's lack of intensityThe away‑end infighting and negativityChampions League context: a draw that might age wellEverton preview: selection dilemmas, fatigue, and the need to resetFollow, rate, and subscribe on your favourite podcast app.Find us on socials: @thegroveafcThis is The Grove, and everyone is welcome.

With our Champions League tie somewhat in the balance we take a more in depth look back at what went wrong, and what we need to improve upon for the second leg. We also look ahead to the visit of Everton on Saturday evening. Should Saka start? Should Timber start? What about Martinelli, or Eze? How do we unlock our fluent attacking best?

Episode DescriptionArsenal are through — but it wasn't pretty.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, the lads break down Arsenal's gritty FA Cup win away at Mansfield. With injuries piling up and the fixture list tightening, Mikel Arteta rotated heavily — including handing competitive starts to two Hale End 16-year-olds: Max Dowman and Marley Salmon.The hosts unpack the unusual lineup, the confusing early shape, and how Arsenal eventually settled into the match after a tactical switch and a return to a familiar back four. There's detailed reaction to Noni Madueke's opener, Mansfield's equaliser after defensive hesitation, and the moment of quality that ultimately settled the tie — a brilliant strike from Eberechi Eze.Attention then turns to the worrying moment of the night as Riccardo Calafiori goes down with another muscular injury — raising fresh questions about availability at a critical stage of the season.The conversation moves to the bigger picture as the hosts analyse Arsenal's remarkable resilience this year: just three defeats in forty-six matches across all competitions. With injuries affecting key players such as Martin Ødegaard, the squad's ability to adapt and keep winning becomes a major theme of the discussion.Part two shifts to the off-pitch headlines as the panel reacts to Edu's sudden exit from Nottingham Forest, debating what it says about sporting director roles, ownership structures, and the chaos that can surround certain clubs.There's also frustration directed toward Norway manager Ståle Solbakken after his latest comments about Ødegaard's injury situation — and what it could mean ahead of the upcoming international fixtures.Finally, the focus turns to Europe as Arsenal prepare for a huge Champions League trip to face Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. The hosts discuss Leverkusen's form, possible tactical approaches from both sides, and how Arsenal should approach the tie with major domestic fixtures looming.With the FA Cup quarter-finals secured and the Champions League knockout stage underway, the business end of the season has arrived — and every game now carries real weight.

From the gritty youth pitches of Hamburg to the glowing heights of the Allianz Arena, Jonathan Tah has transformed from a raw talent into the "quiet authority" anchoring both Bayern Munich and the German national team. In this episode, we break down the evolution of a modern defensive titan. We explore his historic captaincy at Leverkusen, his seamless integration into Bayern's elite backline alongside Upamecano and De Ligt, and how he is using his platform to lead the charge against racism in the sport. Tune in for an in-depth look at the man who reads the game three moves ahead and is currently building a legacy—one tackle at a time.

Post‑Mansfield (A) FA Cup 5th Round / Pre‑Leverkusen (A) UCL R16 1st LegArsenal are into the FA Cup quarterfinals after a gritty, muddy, tough 2–1 win away at Mansfield. In this episode, Tabs and Andy break down a classic lower‑league cup tie full of cliches, heavy tackles, bobbling passes, and two absolute thunder‑bastards from Madueke and Eze that ultimately dragged Arsenal through.The lads dive into the heavily rotated XI — including the historic double‑start for 16‑year‑olds Max Dowman and Marli Salmon, the first time a Premier League club has ever started two 16‑year‑olds in a competitive match . They unpack the confusing, shape‑shifting formation, the early Mansfield pressure, and why the pitch turned the match into a tactical fever dream.There's huge praise for Dowman's outrageous composure and spatial awareness (“the word that comes to mind is inevitable” ), and equal love for Salmon's fearless performance at centre‑back. They also discuss Mosquera's hesitation for the Mansfield goal, Martinelli's frustrating afternoon, Jesus' anonymity, and the growing concern around Calafiori's recurring niggles.Tabs and Andy also look ahead to the Champions League Round of 16 first leg away at Bayer Leverkusen — the atmosphere, the tactical matchup, the likely XI, and why getting the job done early could save Arsenal from a stressful second leg. Tabs even previews his away‑day trip to Germany, complete with Frankfurt and Cologne detour.As always, the episode wraps with your Three‑Word Reviews, FA Cup draw chat, and a look at the wider European fixtures that could shape Arsenal's season.Key Talking Points:The Mansfield pitch: “free‑flowing slurry” and pure magic of the FA Cup Historic moment: two 16‑year‑olds starting for ArsenalMax Dowman's outrageous talent and why he feels inevitableMarli Salmon's maturity and last‑man interventionsMadueke: worldie one minute, Row Z the nextJesus' struggles, Martinelli's frustration, and squad rotation realitiesCalafiori injury worries and Arteta's cautious approachMansfield's intensity, physicality, and surprisingly strong performanceArsenal's 100th goal of the season and insane win/loss recordChampions League preview: Leverkusen's shape, threats, and vulnerabilitiesFixture congestion, title‑race psychology, and the importance of managing the run‑inFollow, rate, and subscribe on your favourite podcast app.Find us on socials: @thegroveafcThis is The Grove, and everyone is welcome.

Join Holly and Stef as we look back at the narrow 2-1 victory against Mansfield in the FA Cup. Does it matter that we didn't play particularly well? Positives include Madueke, Dowman, Eze's goal, Havertz' minutes and Norgaard perhaps. Who do we want in the next round? We also take a look ahead to Wednesday's visit to Germany where we take on Leverkusen. With rested legs Arteta has the luxury of going strong - who do you think should make the starting line-up?

Episode 176 – Legion Of Goon: Arsenal's Defensive Wall Shuts Down Brighton as City Drop Points in the Title RaceArsenal head to the south coast and leave with three crucial points after a controlled 1–0 win away at Brighton. With Martin Ødegaard unavailable and William Saliba a late withdrawal, Mikel Arteta's side are forced into changes — but the response is a composed, resilient performance built on defensive authority and intelligent game management.The hosts break down Bukayo Saka's early opener, Brighton's rare attacking moments, and how Arsenal's back line — led by David Raya, Gabriel and Piero Hincapié — quietly took control of the match. The conversation turns to Arteta's substitutions, the tactical adjustments that shut the game down, and why Arsenal were able to limit Brighton to almost nothing after the hour mark.There's also plenty of reaction to Fabian Hürzeler's pre- and post-match comments about Arsenal's game management, as the hosts debate the growing narratives around Arsenal's style of play and the constant scrutiny surrounding the team's set-piece threat.The title race also takes a dramatic twist as Manchester City drop points against Nottingham Forest, sending the Arsenal dressing room into celebration and raising fresh questions about how the run-in could unfold.In Part Two, the hosts dig into the ongoing debate around Arsenal's set-piece dominance, why the conversation has become such a talking point across the league, and whether clubs should simply adapt rather than complain.The episode then looks ahead to Arsenal's FA Cup trip to Mansfield Town, discussing potential rotation, youth opportunities, and how Arteta may manage the squad with a huge run of fixtures approaching — including Leverkusen and the Carabao Cup final.There's also another round of the Prediction Game, a new edition of Justin's Six Pack, and a broader discussion about why Arsenal's cup games have felt very different to the pressure cooker of the Premier League title race.A big week, a massive defensive performance, and a title race that might just be turning Arsenal's way.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:53) - Brighton Review & Team News: Saliba Out, Ødegaard Missing & Starting XI(02:08) - 0–1 | Saka Breakthrough & Verbruggen Goalkeeper Error(04:02) - Penalty Debate: Martinelli Grab & Havertz Challenge(05:12) - Arteta's Game Management: Havertz, Trossard & Calafiori Subs(06:45) - Hincapié, Raya, Gabriel & Timber Praised in Defensive Masterclass(09:31) - Match Stats Breakdown & Brighton's Lack of Threat(10:07) - Substitution Timing & Tactical Impact(11:55) - Fabian Hürzeler Complaints & Pre-Match Mind Games(15:26) - Brighton Crowd Atmosphere & “Only One Team Playing Football” Claim(16:28) - Title Race Moment: Man City vs Forest Reactions(20:49) - Dressing Room Celebrations & Arsenal Momentum(24:03) - Bernardo Silva Complaints & City Frustration(25:25) - Run-In Discussion: Everton, Bournemouth & Etihad Context(28:10) - Defensive Structure Returning & Arteta Tactical Adjustments(30:52) - Pressing Without Ødegaard & Havertz(31:49) - Mental Test & Role of Home Fans(36:02) - PT.2: Set Piece Debate & Media Narrative(38:26) - Corner Grappling, VAR Checks & “Ben White Rule” Discussion(45:52) - Chelsea Corner Routines & Premier League Set Piece Trends(47:53) - Why Every Club Needs a Set Piece Coach(49:08) - League vs Cup Games: Which Are More Enjoyable?(50:52) - European Perspective: Arsenal Tactical Influence(53:54) - Cup Run Possibilities & Fixture Congestion(57:48) - Prediction Game: West Ham vs Brentford(01:00:20) - Spotlight Game: Wrexham vs Chelsea(01:03:21) - Justin's Six Pack: Top Things To Do In Mansfield(01:06:20) - Mansfield Preview & Expected Arsenal Rotation(01:09:14) - Midfield Selection Issues & Youth Opportunities(01:13:31) - Martinelli vs Trossard Debate Continues(01:17:31) - Final Thoughts on Squad Rotation & Competition Priorities

Nick and Taylor analyze another dramatic rendition of the Champions League Knockout Playoff round, where Italian clubs once again disappointed. Reigning finalists Inter took on the Norwegian minnows Bodo/Glimt and became the latest victims of an unbelievable, unforeseen upset in the competition. Galatasaray and Juventus played out a roller coaster of a tie that featured extra time in Turin. PSG once again faced a domestic rival in the Knockout Playoff round, though this time they barely escaped. Dortmund collapsed in an epic atmosphere in Bergamo. Real Madrid again faced historical UCL kryptonite Benfica, while Leverkusen returned to Greece to face Olympiacos.

Flo und Kassem gehen jeweils mit Siegen ihrer Teams in die Aufnahme und dementsprechend beschwingt gehen die beiden die Sendung an. Kassem ist auch in die Tiefen der Benotungskriterien eingetaucht, um die Frage der Woche (05:03) zu klären. Anschließend gibt es alle Begegnungen des 25. Spieltags in der Analyse und jeweils auch immer mindestens eine Spielerempfehlung.

Bayer Leverkusen muss das Nachholspiel beim HSV unbedingt gewinnen damit der Abstand auf die Champions-League-Plätze nicht noch größer wird. Antonio Rüdiger hat in Spanien mal wieder mit einer unschönen Szene auf sich aufmerksam gemacht und Grischa Prömel steht vor einem Wechsel zum VfB Stuttgart.

Eine halbe Milliarde Euro Marktwert zu Gast im Volkspark – und wir mittendrin. Gegen RB Leipzig verlieren wir nach gefühlter Ewigkeit mal wieder ein Heimspiel mit 1:2. Vor dem Spiel Proteste mit Tennisbällen und Spruchbändern gegen das Produkt – auf den Rängen eher verhalten, auf dem Platz phasenweise überfordert. Insgesamt ein Abend, der sich zäher anfühlte, als er es vielleicht musste. Dazu die Verletzung von Kapitän Capaldo und eine Leistung, die nicht an die letzten Heimauftritte anknüpfen konnte. Wir ordnen ein, was gefehlt hat, warum wir diesmal nicht an unsere Grenzen kamen – und ob solche Spiele mehr im Kopf als in den Beinen entschieden werden. Viel Zeit zum Hadern bleibt nicht: Es warten Bayer 04 Leverkusen und der VfL Wolfsburg. Eine Woche, die auf die Stimmung drücken kann – oder zur Trotzreaktion taugt. Analyse, Einordnung und der Blick nach vorn – alles drin in der neuen Folge.

Nach 24. Spieltag ist es wohl amtlich: Der Meisterschaftskampf (wenn es jemals einen gab) ist beendet. Der FC Bayern München ist mit 11 Punkten Vorsprung auf Borussia Dortmund enteilt. Aber im Tabellenkeller ist noch richtig Spannung drin – auch weil viele Teams „da unten“ den Kampf angenommen haben und wieder Spiele gewinnen: Anne Hilt und Jens Walbrodt sprechen über den vergangenen Spieltag und Anne hat ein (manchmal etwas gemeines) Quiz vorbereitet: Wer konnte vor den Bayern als Letzter den BVB zuhause besiegen? Spielt der zweikampfstärkste Spieler der Liga beim Hamburger SV oder doch bei RB Leipzig? Und wie viele Torschüsse hatte der SC Freiburg zu Gast bei Eintracht Frankfurt? Die Antworten gibt's in der neuen Folge und dazu jede Menge Diskussionsbedarf. Hätte Nico Schlotterbeck vom Platz fliegen müssen? Wie groß ist die Erleichterung in Bremen? Und in Gladbach? Wie zufrieden ist Alexander Blessin mit dem sportlichen Samstag? Warum holt Leverkusen nur einen Punkt gegen Mainz und kann damit eigentlich noch zufrieden sein? Hört rein und schreibt dann gerne in die Kommentare, wie viele Quizfragen ihr richtig beantwortet hättet!

It was a night of comebacks in the Champions League. Atalanta succeeded in knocking Borussia Dortmund off of their perch, and Juventus came oh so close to producing a classic in Turin.

Griffin Warner talk betting for Tuesday. Griffin Warner returned to break down a packed Tuesday card featuring Champions League second leg matchups and a deep slate of college basketball, while also unveiling a significant promotional offer. The European focus begins with Atletico Madrid hosting Club Bruges after a dramatic 3 3 draw in Belgium. Atletico, now one and a quarter goal favorites at home, surrendered both a 2 0 and 3 2 lead in the first leg. Bruges, who covered plus one and a half previously, showed resilience with several quality attacking moments and a late equalizer. With aggregate scoring determining advancement and extra time looming if tied, Warner prefers holding Bruges plus one and a quarter, anticipating a potentially conservative Atletico approach if they secure a lead. The to advance price heavily favors Atletico, yet Warner does not dismiss Bruges entirely. Inter Milan face a steeper challenge, trailing 3 1 on aggregate to Norwegian side Butuglimpt. Inter are two goal favorites in Milan and minus 1.30 to advance despite the deficit. Road goals no longer matter, increasing the likelihood of extra time if Inter win by two. Warner expects Butuglimpt to defend but remain opportunistic on counters, suggesting plus two and the under three and three quarters could offer value in a controlled match where Inter must press but may struggle to run away. Bayer Leverkusen return home with a 2 0 advantage over Olympiakos after scoring twice in quick succession in Athens. Leverkusen are three quarter goal favorites, yet Warner sees intrigue in Olympiakos if forced to attack. The total sits at three shaded under, but given both sides' scoring tendencies he leans toward over three at plus money, even though Leverkusen are overwhelming favorites to advance. Newcastle's tie appears effectively decided after a dominant first leg against an Azerbaijani opponent, with the English side laying two and a half goals. Warner notes lineup dependent volatility and suggests monitoring numbers shortly before kickoff. Shifting to college basketball, Washington laying five at Rutgers raises red flags due to travel and Rutgers' home setting. Dayton catching five at home against St. Louis stands out given the Flyers' environment despite SLU's strong resume. Notre Dame plus seventeen against top ranked Duke is described as a hold your nose spot, while Georgetown as a short home favorite versus Marquette fits Warner's preferred range for laying points. He questions Virginia's rating against NC State, highlights Cincinnati plus six at Texas Tech after a key injury to JT Toppin, and evaluates West Virginia at Oklahoma State in a Big 12 bubble battle. Oklahoma plus two at home against Auburn becomes the featured play, with Warner expressing skepticism toward short road favorites in critical bubble scenarios. Additional notes include intrigue with Florida State as a home underdog to Miami, Arizona State catching points at TCU, and Nevada at pickem hosting New Mexico. The promotional code West25 offers 25 percent off any purchase at Pregame.com through March 2, including season long access packages, marking the largest discount he has provided on the platform. The official best bet closes the show with Oklahoma plus two on the home floor in Norman against Auburn. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Olympiacos travel to the BayArena 2–0 down against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League playoff second leg. Bookmakers give Mendilibar's side just a 3% chance of progressing — but this is Olympiacos, and European nights have delivered miracles before.

Bayer Leverkusen geht heute mit einem 2:0-Vorsprung ins Playoff-Rückspiel gegen Olympiakos! Werder-Trainer Thioune kritisiert seine Stars nach der Pleite gegen St. Pauli öffentlich und ein Instagram-Kommentar von Xavi Simons sorgt in Leipzig für Ärger.

Aus terminlichen Gründen mussten wir eine Woche aussetzen mit dem Podcast, so dass wir in dieser Folge vier Spiele aufbereiten: Die 3:2 Niederlage der Männer im Hamburg, das 1:1 der Frauen in Freiburg, den 2:1 Heimerfolg der Frauen gegen Köln und den 1:0 Heimsieg der Männer gegen Leverkusen. Letztere zwei helfen deutlich dabei die Laune ob des Spiels der Männer in Hamburg auszugleichen. Gleichzeitig reden wir noch über die frühzeitig angekündigte Versetzung von Ailien Poese und das Engagement von Dina Orschmann für Empty Stands.

Am 23. Spieltag ist möglicherweise das Tor des Jahres gefallen. Kölns Stürmer Ragnar Ache traf gegen Hoffenheim per Bilderbuch-Fallrückzieher. Die Podcast-Hosts Tobi und Conny begutachten das Tor aus allen Perspektiven und schätzen ein, wie wichtig der gewonnene Kölner Punkt mit Blick auf den Abstiegskampf ist. Dramatisch wird so langsam die Lage beim VfL Wolfsburg nach der Heimpleite gegen Augsburg und bei Borussia Mönchengladbach nach der Niederlage in Freiburg. Im direkten Keller-Duell siegte St. Pauli gegen Werder und zog die Bremer dadurch auf einen direkten Abstiegsplatz. Während im Kampf um den Klassenerhalt ordentlich Spannung vorhanden ist, ist aus einem möglichen Titelrennen erstmal wieder etwas Luft raus. Borussia Dortmund macht aus einem 0:2 in Leipzig lastminute noch ein 2:2, verliert aber weiter Boden auf Tabellenführer FC Bayern. Der Rekordmeister siegte mit 3:2 gegen Eintracht Frankfurt und machte es nach einer 3:0-Führung nochmal spannend. Vor dem Spitzenspiel BVB vs. FCB am kommenden Wochenende lässt der Dortmunder Punkterückstand von jetzt acht Zählern nur noch wenige Borussen von der Meisterschaft träumen. Die Dortmunder sind natürlich trotzdem weiter auf bestem Wege, sich für die Champions League zu qualifizieren. Um die weiteren Plätze kämpfen Hoffenheim, Stuttgart, Leipzig und Leverkusen. Tobi und Conny besprechen alle Partien des 23. Spieltages und blicken ebenfalls kurz in das Aufstiegsrennen in Liga 2!

Olympiacos lose 0-2 to Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Champions League Playoff at Karaiskaki.
