Football Bet of the Day: Heroes have feet of clay

Nothing to see at Moses Mabhida Stadium again

Tobias Gourlay suggests a bet on one of the games from South Africa today, but probably wouldn't advise actually watching it

AmaZulu v Bloemfontein Celtic
Wednesday 18:30

Ostersunds FK 1 Sirius 1 in Sweden yesterday.

Jamie Hopcutt - there's an Englishman we can all get behind. The 22-year-old midfielder scored the home side's 71st-minute equaliser and meant everyone went home with something, including Both Teams to Score backers.

Our Scandinavian odyssey finishes on a high, but there's still work to be done. Starting in South Africa, where the Premier Soccer League started up again a couple of weeks ago.

Bloemfontein Celtic's first away match of the new season brought a 1-0 defeat to the mighty Kaizer Chiefs. It was Celtic's fifth straight road game to end with Under 2.5 Goals and, since November 2012, their 20th in 26 outings to finish that way.

This evening they visit Durban-based AmaZulu, who have a similarly proud record of sending their fans to sleep. The Heroes' first home game of the new season finished goalless and, since October 2011, 33/42 PSL games at Moses Mabhida Stadium have delivered just two goals or fewer.

Who just said 'World Cup legacy'?
