Football Bet of the Day: Drawn out affair in Brazil

Juventude v Goias
Tuesday 23:15

The news was bad for us yesterday, as Avai sprung a big summer surprise with a 2-0 win at Botafogo.
We're staying in Brazil today, but dropping down a level. Juventude's Serie B match with Goias promises to be a slow burner.
Second-placed Juventude have seen just 21 goals across the first 10 rounds of the season, and the entertainment could be a long time coming this evening. The Parakeets have been level pegging at half-time in eight of those 10 matches.
Goias, meanwhile, have a solid W2-D2-L1 away record and should be hard to break down. Home and away, six of the Big Green's last eight league outings have been all square at the break.
Both of those records say there is value in the odds-against prices about another half-time draw at the Alfredo Jaconi tonight.

The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
