The Joker's Bet of the Day: Chaves to put up a fight

Brassed off in Brasov?

Not at all. 2-1 FC beat Corona in Romania's Liga 1 yesterday evening, which makes it six wins in eight round here this week and last. The consolation's as important as any in goals betting and this time it came from a man named Bus, deep into the second half.

Better late than never, and the Joker can now ride happy all the way to Portugal, where, over the last nine years or so, Chaves have been in and out of Liga de Honra. There has been only one constant: Under 2.5 Goals. That's been the outcome in 57 of their last 74 home games.

It's a wonder anyone will turn out at all for tonight's visit of Benfica II, who have lately produced 10 low-scorers in 15 road games.

Recommended Bet: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.8910/11 in Chaves v Benfica II
