The first round of fixtures in the EFL Championship comes to a thrilling climax tonight as Cardiff City host Wrexham in a Welsh derby.
It's the first time these clubs have shared the same division in 25 years and the Bluebirds will be looking for a statement win after winning promotion last season.
But Wrexham will be equally desperate to show they're now top dog in Wales after making a remarkable rise through the EFL pyramid under their Hollywood owners.
Cardiff City vs Wrexham top betting tips
These sides met in the EFL Cup last season and it was Cardiff who came out on top with a 2-1 win at the Racecourse Ground.
They now have home advantage for the first derby of the new campaign and Bet365 make them favourites at 7/5, with Wrexham 9/5 for a win in the Welsh capital.
This one should be fiercely fought and the half-time draw is always a good option in a derby between well-matched teams. It pays 13/10 with Bet365 tonight.
Yousef Salech netted 15 times last term for the Bluebirds and hit a double last week in their 3-2 EFL Cup win over Swindon.
His confidence will be up for the derby and the Dane is 13/10 with Bet365 for another strike tonight. He's also a tempting 5/4 for over 1.5 efforts on target.
Deportivo La Coruna vs Elche
Deportivo La Coruna are back in La Liga after a four-year absence and will be desperate to get off to a winning start when they host Elche tonight.
Super Depor were kings of Spain in season 1999/2000 and reached the Champions League semis four years later but they've suffered a dramatic fall from grace.
Fans will now be hoping they're back on the up after winning promotion as runners-up in the second tier last term.
Taking on Elche at home is a kind first fixture and I fancy Deportivo to win against a side who could only finish 15th in La Liga last term, a point above the drop zone.
Bet365 make the home side favourites tonight but the price is still decent at 13/10.
With the Riazor crowd behind them, Deportivo La Coruna should have most of the pressure and backing them at -1 in the corner handicap also appeals at evens.
Casa Pia vs Benfica
Benfica dropped two points in their Liga Portugal opener last weekend and can ill afford another slip when they visit Casa Pia tonight.
Former Fulham boss Marco Silva has taken over from Jose Mourinho at the Stadium of Light but it has been a mixed bag so far.
The Eagles have thrashed St Galen and Hearts at home in Europe but they failed to win either of the away legs and also had that 2-2 domestic draw with Academico de Viseu.
But Bet365 make them 2/9 hot favourites tonight against a Casa Pia side who only stayed in the top flight after winning a relegation play-off.
They did manage to hold Benfica to a couple of draws last term but kicked off the new campaign with a 1-0 loss at Maritimo.
I've a feeling Silva's side will be too strong and combining the away win with BTTS pays 2/1. That bet appeals as Benfica have conceded in four of their five games so far.
