The Joker's Bet of the Day: Dying a slow death in Finland

Blonde Ambition: No one should have high hopes for HIFK and JIPPO

HIFK are pretty dull and you can usually trust JIPPO not to do anything on their travels

Gefle 1 Djurgardens 1 in Sweden yesterday evening.

With Under 2.5 Goals under his belt, the Joker just about had the will to cross the border with Finland, where HIFK are newly back in the Ykkonen after a year away from the second tier. Each of their first two home games of the new campaign have produced Under 2.5 Goals and, go back to 2012, and their record is 8/13 low-scorers.

JIPPO have been loitering at this level for longer and are not going anywhere fast: 18/25 away matches have turned up two goals or fewer.

It's a whole new kind of capital punishment.

Recommended Bet: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.84/5 in HIFK v JIPPO
