Sheffield United will hope to reignite their automatic promotion hopes when they host struggling Cardiff City. With four matches to go, the Blades have dropped to third ahead of this fixture against the team third from bottom. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Sheffield United are having their toughest period of the season, placing their promotion hopes under threat. They suffered a third straight loss in the 2-1 defeat at Plymouth last week, leaving them five points behind the league leaders.

October 2022 was the last time they experienced what they are going through at the moment in the Championship. Back then, they collected just three points from a possible 18.

Like Sheffield, Cardiff City are also coming into this game on a winless run. The Bluebirds lost their last outing 1-0 at home to Stoke City. That left them without victory for four matches, though the first three were draws.

The visitors are just a point below safety and will hope for an away win that could see them get off the bottom three. An inferior goal difference means a draw can’t get them off the relegation places.

Another drawback for Cardiff is their away form in the Championship. They arrive for this match with only two wins in 21 league outings on the road.
