Sheffield United have only won three of their last 15 meetings with Cardiff but did win 3-2 in South Wales back in December. The Blades are now looking to complete a first league double over the Bluebirds since 1984.  

Under 2.5 goals is 4/5.

Both teams to score NO is 8/11.

Sheffield United to win and both teams to score NO is 6/4.

Former Swansea striker Oli McBurnie scored in his only previous start against Cardiff. He is 9/2 to break the deadlock and 6/4 to score anytime.

Can Sheffield United cling onto their play-off place?

So, the Blades have actually only won three of their last 11 but currently sit sixth, but with five clubs in hot pursuit.

Thus, if Sheffield United are to have any chance of an instant return to the Premier League, they need to start winning and now.

Cardiff City meanwhile find themselves towards the wrong end of the table, albeit they’re safe from relegation.

Steve Morison’s side lost both fixture either side of Easter, 2-1 at Hull and then 1-0 at home to promotion-chasing Luton.

To start April, the Bluebirds had been hammered 4-0 at home by South Wales rivals Swansea, so Cardiff’s season certainly isn’t ending on a high.

Will Sheffield United therefore claim three invaluable points at Bramall Lane?
