We said: Cardiff City 0-1 Sheffield United

Sheffield United have far more quality than their opponents, as indicated by their push for promotion to the Premier League, while their opponents may be looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone. That said, the Blades struggled against similar opposition last time out, so we back them to win, but by a narrow margin. Read more.
