The Joker's Bet of the Day:

Back Coritiba @ 1.75/7 to beat Nautico

Now there's a thing.

The Joker wandered away from Germany-Sweden when Miroslav Klose put the home side 3-0 up after half an hour. Job done - for Joker and Mannschaft alike, right?

No, actually. Because these days only one of them is a remorsely efficient winning machine.

It finished 4-4.

Coritiba, known variously as 'Glorious' and 'Thigh', have won 5/7 at home in the Campeonato. Nautico, the White-eared Opossums who we were introduced to a few weeks ago, have lost 12/15 on the road this season.

Recommended Bet: Back Coritiba @ 1.75/7 to beat Nautico
