Sheffield United vs Cardiff City Prediction and Betting Tips | April 15th 2023

Sheffield United will host Cardiff City at Bramall Lane on Saturday in another round of EFL Championship football.

The home side have enjoyed a largely positive campaign and are well on course for a return to the English top flight. They were, however, beaten 2-0 by league leaders Burnley last time out and had started the game well enough before an early red to Wes Foderingham saw the game's momentum swing the way of the Clarets.

Sheffield sit second in the league table with 76 points from 40 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways this weekend.

Cardiff have struggled for results this season and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Sunderland in their last game and will be gutted to have come away with nothing after a strong second-half display.

The visitors sit 21st in the Championship standings with 42 points picked up so far. They are just one point above the drop zone and will be looking to widen that gap on Saturday.
