The Joker's Bet of the Day: Fairytale ending in Bodo

Chequered Flag: Norwegian football has one last chance to prove its worth to the Joker

Long-serving columnist prepares to go to ground in Scandinavia

Puebla 0 Veracruz 0 in Mexico last night. 

There could have been no finer result. And the icing on the goal-free cake? A substitute appearance from Cuauhtemoc Blanco, aged 41 and a half.

The Joker's been ignoring sell-by dates for more than five years himself, but today they must go on the list that begins with death and taxes.

So, for one last time, six of Bodo Glimt's last seven Tippeligaen home games have produced Over 2.5 Goals and so have 13/19 Sarpsborg away matches.

And that's a wrap.

Recommended Bet: Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.728/11 in Bodo Glimt v Sarpsborg
