The Anorak: Cardiff can scupper Scunthorpe at 21-20

CARDIFF City can bounce back from Sunday's defeat to their arch-rivals Swansea and land this week's banker bet at odds of 21-20 with William Hill.

Nothing went right for Cardiff in the South Wales derby, but today they can account for Scunthorpe who just can't get it right at their home, Glanford Park as their fifth defeat of the season to lowly Middlesbrough in midweek demonstrates.

The Bluebirds will be buoyed by their talisman striker Jay Boothroyd's last-gasp goal to secure a point at Reading on Wednesday. He missed the Swansea game through suspension and can make all the difference this week. Cardiff look this week's good things.

To complete the yankee add Torquay to beat Barnet (7/10); Falkirk to heap more pain on bottom club Stirling (10-11) and Sheffield Wednesday to beat Rochdale (5-6).

Banker: Cardiff to beat Scunthorpe 21-20.

Yankee: Cardiff to beat Scunthorpe 21-20; Torquay to beat Barnet 7-10; Falkirk to beat Stirling (10-11); Sheffield Wednesday to beat Rochdale 5-6.
