Back Cardiff and Watford to score over 2.5 goals tonight

Bet365 are offering 19/20 on a high-scoring game at Ninian Park

Tonight sees an intriguing battle between fortress and form side as Watford, the best team in the Championship over the last six games, travel to Cardiff, who have lost just twice at home in over a year.

Cardiff are unbeaten in eleven home games, of which they have won eight, but Watford have triumphed on each of their last three visits to the Welsh capital and haven’t lost in eight meetings with Dave Jones’ side. It’s difficult to back Brendan Rodgers’ side outright when the Bluebirds have been so impressive at home but you can cover both the draw and away win on the double chance at 1059/1000 with Ladbrokes.

Five reasons why Cardiff could stun Arsenal in the cup

Cardiff/Arsenal, 1.30pm, Setanta Sports 1, Free Bets, Best Odds

The FA Cup holders and winning manager were both eliminated yesterday but runners-up Cardiff look like giving Arsenal a run for their money at Ninian Park today. The Welsh side are 5/1 outsiders  with 888sport and Boylesports but here are five reasons why this match is no foregone conclusion:

1. Cardiff are unbeaten in ten games and have scored in every game over that period.

2. They have only lost two home games all season and those were 2-1 home defeats to high-flying Wolves and Birmingham. A 2-1 Arsenal win is 15/2 on 888sport incidentally and this was also the score when they met at Highbury three years ago.

3. Arsenal have suffered five defeats on the road already this season.
