Sheffield United - Cardiff: Form Analysis
Sheffield United need 10 more points from their remaining six matches to secure their place in the Premier League, but that could come sooner. They will wish to bag the first three from this match and especially as a response to their 2-0 loss at Burnley in the last game. They still have the better run coming into this game despite the loss, with four wins in the last five matches. Sheffield have suffered just three losses in their last 10 matches across all competitions and all the rest have ended in wins. The loss to Burnley marked the first time in five that they failed to score and it disrupted a run of two back-to-back clean sheets. Otherwise, a run of four wins, and three clean sheets in their last five home matches should still keep their confidence high going to this game. Four of their last five home matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Cardiff City will be under more pressure coming into this game and while Sheffield can afford to drop points here, the visitors do not have that comfort. It makes Cardiff’s situation tougher considering they haven't beaten Sheffield in the last four meetings. They’ve actually failed to score in the last two meetings, both which ended 1-0 in favor of the Blades. Cardiff have played a game less than their opponents in the race for survival and being out of the drop zone by a point, they can make their game in hand work in their favor by winning here. That would push them to places up. It however seems like a tough task ahead, with the visitors having managed just one win in the last five and that was against a team in the red zone – Blackpool. They have three losses in the last five matches and zero clean sheets, while away from home, they failed to score in three of five, and lost the three matches.

Sheffield United & Cardiff Squad Analysis
Sheffield United will go into this game without their first-choice goalkeeper, Wes Foderingham, who was sent off in their last game; in his place Adam Davies will get the nod. The Blades will once again be without Max Lowe, Enda Stevens, Rhys Norrington-Davies and Rhian Brewster all who are injured.
At Cardiff City, Callum O’Dowda and Callum Robinson are the confirmed absentees for this clash.
