A tip from The Joker to get your betting day under way...

VVV. Why, that's 'veni, vidi, vici,' to a scholar of Wikipedia like the Joker.

'I came, I saw, I conquered.' All very well for Julius Caesar, but a lot to live up to for the rest of us. Might, 'I came, I saw, I was asked to leave,' be a more familiar sequence of events?

Not to VVV Venlo. They came into the Netherlands's Eerstedivisie after relegation last season. They saw that the standard was not high. And they conquered. After their final home game with FC Omniworld, they will be promoted back into the Eredivisie as champions.

Omniworld aren't playing for much either this evening - they'll finish last and be relegated whatever the result. Under 2.5 Goals is a firm outsider at [2.88], but is worth a punt because VVV don't tend to concede at home and might not be bothered about the margin of victory.

Recommendation: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ [2.88]
