Cardiff vs Sheffield United Predictions

• Sheffield United have the second-best away record in the Championship
• Sheffield United completed the league double over Cardiff last season
• Cardiff have lost three of their last four home matches

Blades can bounce back from Derby-Day defeat

Sheffield Untied ended a four-match unbeaten run by losing 1-0 to South Yorkshire rivals, Rotherham. Paul Heckingbottom’s side have been afforded a great opportunity to bounce back to winning ways on Saturday when they travel to Wales to take on a struggling Cardiff side. Sheffield United boast the second-best away record in the Championship this season and have won their last two matches on the road at West Brom and Bristol City, keeping clean sheets in both games. The Blades recorded a league double over Cardiff last season and are fancied to make it three wins in a row against the Bluebirds, this Saturday.

New-boss Hudson has a big job on his hands

Mark Hudson was offered the Cardiff job until the end of the season and the former Crystal Palace defender has a big job on his hands to turn around The Bluebirds’ season. Cardiff have lost five of their last seven Championship matches and three of their last four on home soil, a poor recent run which sees The Bluebirds sit just four points above the bottom three. Cardiff have mustered 17 goals in 20 Championship matches this season, only Preston (16) have scored fewer league goals than the Welsh side this term – something Hudson must address if his side are to avoid a relegation battle.

Sheffield United to win in the outright market will be the main selection for Saturday’s game, with a 2-0 away victory forming the correct score prediction.
