Sheffield United vs Cardiff prediction
This is the fifth FA Cup clash between these two sides.
Sheffield United have won three of the four and look like adding to their impressive Championship run with a win in the FA Cup, against a side struggling in the same league.
Cardiff sit in 23rd just three points above the bottom side Plymouth Argyle.
Although they have gone unbeaten in the last three which in the Championship can always translate to further form as they look to turn things around.
However, they come up against the Blades who sit in third place, eyeing at least automatic promotion who’ve only lost four times this season, albeit two of those have come in their last four league meetings.
The Blades have also won the most of any side in the division and can’t be ruled out although in the FA Cup at this stage, there could be a significant amount of squad changes that throw a spanner in the works to the odds, results etc which can make it a tougher game to bet on.
Sheffield United vs Cardiff betting tip
Cardiff have conceded as many as 40 goals in the Championship so far and this is probably the biggest focus of the bets here as the Blades have only conceded 17, but scored 26 in the opening 26 fixtures.
Betting on that plus a home win for the Blades pays out quite nicely as the price of Sheffield United to win seems to be much higher than if it were a regular Championship clash, clearly factoring in the imminent squad changes.
That said, the Blades are still the clear choice and make a value bet builder as a result.
