Cardiff City vs Sheffield United Prediction: Visitors are at top with three points lead

Cardiff City will welcome Sheffield United at Cardiff City Stadium in Game Week 22 of the English Championship. The visitors are at top with three points lead. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Cardiff City form

Cardiff City will be looking to get back to winning ways and maintain their position above the relegation zone when they take to the field on Saturday. After a poor start to the season under Erol Bulut, then under Omer Riza who was brought in on a temporary basis, the Bluebirds dramatically improved in October and early November, rising from 24th place to 17th with a six-game unbeaten run that included four wins. Recent form has seen them struggle for victories, earning only three points in their last seven games. The team had to endure three successive home defeats, conceding seven goals and scoring only once. Cardiff City are only one point above the bottom three after the draw against Stoke City ahead of their final game before Christmas. They will look to make it their fifth league win of the season to increase their margin above the relegation zone.

Sheffield United form

In a tough test, the hosts will be against a team that is on a 10-match unbeaten streak in the Championship and wants to cement their position at the top of the table. Even after relegation from the Premier League and receiving two points deducted, Sheffield United has smoothly transitioned to life in the second tier of English football. With 45 points from 21 games, they have lost only twice, both losses coming in October. Since then, they have registered eight wins and two draws, scoring 18 goals and conceding just five in the process. After winning the last two games against Millwall and Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield United is currently leading the table by three points ahead of Leeds United and four points ahead of Burnley. Having already entered the game on a winning streak, they will try to win the match to make it their 15th victory of the season in the Championship.
