Sheffield United take on the visitors Cardiff in the round 44 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, April 23rd at Bramall Lane (Sheffield).
The hosts did not like it at all in the match against Bristol City, if you play like that, then what kind of qualifying to the playoffs can we talk about? Being in the top six appears to be an accident and the merit of the “blades” in the last rounds is not visible. It's more likely that competitors are losing points. Prior to that, beating almost everyone at his Bremell Lane, United lost even to Reading in the last home match, and in the last five rounds they were honored with just one minimum victory over an incomprehensible QPR. It seems that the best results of the Heckingbottom team are far behind. There are three rounds left. And in all of them Sheffield could lose points.

Cardiff is finishing the season, but the extreme defeats are not due to the fact that the team is not fighting (all defeats are minimal), but rather due to a lack of class. Visiting side continues to score, but a weak defense pulls Morison's team down. There have been enough defeats in the last thirteen rounds, but only in the derby with Swansea did the Welsh club suffer a crushing defeat. "Azure" look relatively good in matches on the road, losing only with a difference of one goal. There is no tournament motivation as such, but this does not mean that Cardiff will not fight Sheffield, to whom he lost at home in December 2-3.
The problems of the "blades" are only their problems. In the last matches, Sheffield does not seem like a reliable team. Alternating good matches with frankly disastrous ones. The Blades really need three points, but it won’t be an easy win. And it’s less possible to take a convincing victory with a difference of two goals. Cardiff this season are closer to the outsiders, but the team is not bad enough to give up without battle to Sheffield.
Prediction for the match: Cardiff to win +1.5 handicap.
