Cardiff City desperately need points on Saturday, Apr 17 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Sheffield United come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Cardiff City travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Sheffield United head into this on the back of a defeat, while Cardiff City arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

History strongly favours Sheffield United here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Cardiff City, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sheffield United a slight edge, but Cardiff City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
