Craig Bellamy is certain the Wales are on course to Qualify for the 2004 finals ahead of their clash with the mighty Italian side featuring Del Piero. Newcastle United forward, Craig Bellamy believes that his international side, Wales are on course to qualify for the 2004 European Championship finals.

Bellamy is fit and raring to go ahead of his country's opening qualifying match against the mighty Italy at Cardiff, with his confidence sky high following Wales' revival under manager Mark Hughes.

Hughes has seen his side beat Germany and draw with Argentina, Croatia and the Czech Republic in the last year.

That record prompted Bellamy to say: "We feel we have an excellent chance of making the European Championships. There is now a real buzz about Welsh football. The confidence that has been missing in the past is there now and expectations among both the players and fans is high. We have played against some very good sides recently and we have matched them."

"I don't think anyone sees us as an easy touch anymore and Italy will be no different."
