Football Bet of the Day: Vasco da Gama to explore outer reaches of boredom

Ponte Preta v Vasco da Gama
Wednesday 22:30

He is Zlatan. And we, for one, are eternally grateful. The big fella with the good touch scored a last-minute consolation for Sweden, which brought the scoreline back to 1-4 and took our week back into the black.

Today we're in Brazil for the less than keenly anticipated clash of Ponte Preta and Vasco da Gama.

Bottom of the Campeonato, the visitors have failed to score in 9/11 away games this season. New boss Jorginho can't take all of the discredit, but their have been few signs of improvement since he arrived last month.

Their hosts for tonight have kept clean sheets in 6/11 home games this term, including four of the most recent five.

At the other end, 14th-placed Ponte Preta have been less impressive. Doriva's men have struck just four times in their last seven at Moises Lucarelli Stadium.

Brace yourselves for nothing more than two goals this evening.
