The Joker's Bet of the Day: Vultures devour joga bonito

As we hoped, one side - Ecuador - was responsible for all four goals in South America last night.

Alas, they were irresponsible for one of them too, defender Juan Carlos Paredes finding the back of his own net as he attempted to clear a cross. Silly boy.

Time now to reverse the wrongs of old Ronnie Biggs and hot-foot it - at first, then it will be increasingly cold-foot - all the way from South America to Blighty.

Ah, no. Flight delayed.

Flamengo - our titular Vultures - have seen eight out of nine home games stay Under 2.5 Goals since Dorival Junior took over. Six of Cruzeiro's last ten on the road have been just as exciting.

Recommended Bet: Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.9010/11 in Flamengo v Cruzeiro
