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

The Joker doesn't mind Prince William getting involved in football as the President of the FA. But the Prince supports Aston Villa. Surely he should support his local team? Hannover 96?

Our royals have been German ever since Queen Anne died almost three hundred years ago. They changed their name to Windsor in 1917, prompting a very bad joke from the Kaiser (the one before Franz Beckenbauer). "I look forward,'' he said, "to the next performance of the play, The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg Gotha''.

This evening, Arsenal are in Hannover for a pre-season friendly. The Bundesliga begins in a couple of weeks, and the Germans are close to finishing their preparations. The Gunners have scored 14 times in three friendlies so far, and their hosts struggled defensively last season.

Recommendation: Back Over 2.5 Goals at [1.74] in Hannover v Arsenal
