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

In an internationalist frame of mind this week, how could the Joker do anything today other than cover Netherlands U-19 versus Belarus U-19?

Late this afternoon, somewhere near sea-level, the visitors will brave a hostile atmosphere - a Dutch oven? - for no particularly good reason. It is a friendly, but perhaps the aspirations of their President will drive the Belarusian youngsters on. Mr Lukashenko, leader of Europe's last old-school dictatorship, once said that, 'The history of Germany is a copy of the history of Belarus.' Never mind that his country has been independent for only 15 years.

Still, it only managed 10 months of independence last time it tried. And what better way to truly announce yourself to the world than a win - at U-19 level - over a proud footballing nation like the Netherlands?

Going back to the end of 2007, 10 of the Dutch U-19s's 12 matches have gone Over 2.5 Goals. What's not to like about [1.62] for another high-scoring affair today?

Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 goals at [1.62] in Netherlands U-19 v Belarus U-19
