The Joker's Bet of the Day: A Derry dull game

There's some Airtricity in the air as the Irish nation prepares for Monaghan United versus Derry this evening. Silly sponsor names aside, there's little that's likely to lift the mood of the casual spectator. There have been just three goals in Monaghan's four home games so far this season, while eight of Derry's ten matches anywhere have been just as low-scoring.

The Joker could also mention that someone's going to see red - both teams have seen sendings-off in more than half of their league games so far - but he doesn't know what the price is going to be and, as our game's most esteemed commentators like to tell us, no one wants to see that.

So that definitely wouldn't lift the mood.

Recommended Bet: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.758/11 in Monaghan United v Derry
