Cardiff's televised trip to Leeds this evening promises to be a very tidy evening's entertainment - and it could get even better for you.

Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £30 on this match or anything else that catches your eye within seven days of signing up and any losing wagers will be refunded, so there's no absolutely no risk involved.

Here are three bets we like the look of...

Back over 2.5 goals
Cardiff may be flying high in the table, but that is largely due to their impressive attacking line-up rather than a brilliant defence. The Bluebirds have only kept four clean sheets in their 14 games this term and have conceded at least one goal in their previous four away games. Meanwhile, Leeds United have only failed to find the net once in 14 games this term and should find the net against a rather leaky defence. We fancy Cardiff to win, but Leeds to score - so backing over 2.5 goals at [1.95] looks like a sensible bet!

Back Jay Bothroyd to score
As we mentioned above, Cardiff are hardly short of attacking options. With a front three of Michael Chopra, Jay Bothroyd and Craig Bellamy, the Bluebirds should score one or two goals this season. However, it's Bothroyd who has impressed the most so far. He's been in brilliant form and has netted seven times in the Championship already. Bellamy may get all the headlines, but it's Bothroyd who we can see finding the net at [3.35].

Back Cardiff to win from behind
As you can get your money back if you're a new member, we're going for a slightly longer punt for our third bet. In only one of their last six games have Cardiff been leading at half-time and have had to come from behind in two of their previous four victories. With Luciano Becchio finding the net regularly this term, we can see Leeds grabbing an early lead. Back Cardiff to win from behind at [13.5].
