Cardiff City will be looking to end the two-game losing streak this Saturday when they travel to Bramall Lane Stadium for a clash with Sheffield United in the EFL Championship. Showdown at 17:00 EAT.
Sheffield United occupies the sixth place with 66 points in the standings. Even though the team’s recent performances have not had the results they had hoped for, they are still one of the teams who have the opportunity to play in the play-offs for promotion. From the last ten matches, the team has got three wins, four draws and three losses.
The Blades enter this game after they shared spoils 1-1 with Bristol City in their last Championship action. In that game, Sheffield United had 68% possession, 16 shots with five of them on target and a goal scored by Morgan Gibbs-White (61′). Bristol City got seven shots with three of them on target and a goal by Chris Martin (49′).
Meanwhile, Cardiff stands 17th with 49 points on the league table. The club has had shaky performance throughout the season. From the last ten matches, Cardiff City has got four wins against five losses and a draw. They have lost in the last two consecutive matches, pushing the team further down the table. Steve Morison will fancy his side’s chances of returning to winning ways on Saturday, as Cardiff are unbeaten in their last six away league visits to Sheffield United since a 2-1 defeat back in December 2004.
Cardiff City is hoping for better results after they suffered 0-1 Championship defeat to Luton Town in their last match. In that game, Cardiff City had 63% possession and 13 shots with three of them on target. Luton Town got 11 shots with three of them on target and a goal by Harry Cornick (71′).

Prediction and odds
Sheffield has the advantage of playing in their home ground where they have secured some great results as their loss against Reading came after twelve unbeaten matches while Cardiff City lost their last two league matches which is cause for concern but they have at least been able to keep things tight lately; only one of Cardiff’s last 11 matches has been decided by a margin of two or more goals.
