Prediction: 2-0
Cardiff
Sheffield United will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in the Championship when they face Cardiff City at their Bramall Lane. The Blades are five points behind the automatic promotion berth, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home team. Former Blackburn Rovers forward Ben Brereton Diaz is pushing for a start, while all Arblaster, Norrington-Davies, and Sachdev remain in the treatment room. Midfielder Vini Souza is a major doubt.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the relegation zone. Cardiff City, though, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Stoke City, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts. When the two teams met in the FA Cup earlier in 2025, Cardiff City defeated Sheffield United thanks to Cian Ashford’s goal, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. All Alnwick, El Ghazi, Ralls, and Ramsey are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
