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

New England Revolution's Super Liga match with the Kansas City Wizards is about more than just football. It is a clash of civilisations. Or, rather, it is the clash of a civilisation and a place that still has some way to go. As to which is which, the clue is in the names.

In its rich history, New England has been a home to the most prominent anti-slavery politicians, half of America's eight Ivy League universities and Tom Brady. In its time, Kansas City has sheltered Eminen, Tommy Morrison (Rocky V's Tommy 'the Machine' Gunn) and Ernest Hemingway from the effects of civilisation.

If you believe in the Wizard of Oz, you might fancy Kansas. The rest of us should be brothers in arms behind the Revolution, who have won their last three home games in all competitions.

Recommendation: Back New England @ [2.24] to beat Kansas City
