The Joker's Bet Of The Day: Monday May 25

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

Lugano. It's the Swiss Monte Carlo, apparently. The Joker will remain neutral on whether he believes that or not.

Tonight's opponents, St Gallen, were set up by a band of ex-pats with an unholy love of Kevin, the former QPR striker who numbers Morrissey amongst his mates, and for whom Alex Ferguson allegedly once bid £5m (at a time when £5m could easily have got him Chris Sutton).

That last paragraph's not entirely true. Still, they were Ivan 'Bam-Bam' Zamorano's first European club, and that's something to respect them for. As is their position atop the Swiss Challenge League: they are eight points clear of Lugano, who are another 19 points ahead of the team in third. The match doesn't matter much to either team, but it's St Gallen who have kept their form better, taking 13 points from their last five games. For that reason, they are the selection at [2.38].

Recommendation: Back St Gallen @ [2.38] to beat Lugano
