The Anorak: Bluebirds flying after Bellamy coup and rate best bet at 19-20

CARDIFF city, boosted by the sensational signing of Craig bellamy from Manchester City can account for Doncaster today. Bellamy or not, the Bluebirds have being playing well and get my vote as this weekend's best bet at 19-20 (bet 365).

Three suggestions to add to a Yankee are QPR to beat Scunthorpe (1-2), Bolton to win at West Ham (11-5) and Wycombe to beat Oxford (21-20).

The European leagues are about to start, and looking first at Spain, for all the Special One will galvanise Real Madrid the odds compiler at corals who went thinks Barca are 5-6 shots must have missed Spain's games in South Africa. Seven of the starting 11 in the World Cup-winning plus Lionel Messi makes them a must bet for La Liga.

In Italy, it will be interesting to see how the Inter players react to the departure of Mourinho. Some of the Liverpool players accused Benitez of being detached and tactically obsessed and, although I reckon his need to rotate could cause disharmony, they still have far the best squad and at 11-10 it's worth a punt. In Germany, Bayern should walk this league and although 4-7 is skinny it should be use as the anchor bet for any ante-post multiples.
