Cardiff City will be eager to record their first win of the new Championship campaign when they welcome Sheffield United to their Cardiff City Stadium. The Bluebirds head into the match after a 2-1 EFL Cup defeat to Norwich, but their recent overall numbers suggest an entertaining encounter could be on the cards. Cardiff have scored an impressive 3.1 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while BTTS landed in a remarkable 90% of those games. Their home record is also encouraging, with 57% wins and 2.71 goals scored per match. Chambers, Lawlor, Fish and Osho remain sidelined.
Sheffield United, meanwhile, arrive with confidence after overcoming Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Cup. The Blades are also searching for their first Championship win of the season, but their recent away form is particularly impressive. They have won 83% of their last six away matches, conceding just 0.5 goals per game, while averaging 1.83 goals themselves. Sheffield United have also won seven of the last 15 H2H meetings. Chong and One remain in the treatment room.
Cardiff have seen BTTS in 90% of their last 10 matches, including 86% at home. Given Sheffield United's attacking potential, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Away Win as Cardiff failed to impress in their EFL Cup loss to Norwich.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 15:00.
