Wellington Phoenix women bound for first A-League grand final, plus the EPL title race drama continues | Studs Up! Podcast | 13/5/26

Studs Up is a podcast hosted by Auckland-born and bred Riccardo Ball and Wellington’s loudest son, Daniel McHardy. They go head-to-head on all the big football issues from the EPL, Champions League, the A-League, and more. On this week's episode: Ric and Daniel start the show by recapping Arsenal's controversial 1-0 win against West Ham to swing the title race back their way, plus the Wellington Phoenix women's becoming the first New Zealand team to make an A-League Grand Final when they play Melbourne City this Saturday night. Ric & Daniel then preview Auckland FC's semi-final second leg away against Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium on Friday. We then hear from Lachie for everyone's favourite segment 'Lachie's Stat Attack' before we predict the first four groups of the FIFA World Cup, as we are just a month away from the tournament kicking off. We dive deeper into the upcoming EPL fixtures, with the title race - and relegation race - heating up. Plus, Ric and Daniel dish out their best bets of the week with betcha to hopefully fill your beer fridge this week. *betcha is R18, please bet responsibly.
