Sheffield United vs Cardiff Predictions

• Sheffield United have won four of their last five league matches
• Under 2.5 match goals has been a winning selection in eight of Sheffield United’s last ten matches in all competitions
• Cardiff have failed to score in four of their last six away league matches

Blades closing in on topflight return

Sheffield United have won four of their last five in the league, a run which has seen them open up a five-point gap on third placed, Luton.

The Blades are expected to take another step towards promotion on Saturday by beating relegation threatened, Cardiff. While the hosts should take the points, the winning margin may be a narrow one. Under 2.5 match goals has been a winning selection in eight of Sheffield United’s last ten matches in all competitions, while their last seven victories have all come by way of a one-goal winning margin.

Hard to make a case for the visitors

Cardiff recorded a 3-1 win at Blackpool in their last away game but will need to put in a better performance still if they are to get a result on Saturday.

The Bluebirds have failed to score in four of their last six away league matches, all of which resulted in defeats, Sabri Lamouchi’s side have won twice on the road in 2023 and have the fifth-worst away record in the division.

Sheffield United to win and under 2.5 match goals will be the headline selection for Saturday’s Championship clash at Bramall Lane, with a 1-0 home victory forming the correct score prediction – five of Sheffield United’s last seven victories in all competitions have come by way of a 1-0 score line.
