Match preview

Two sides in search of a bounce-back result are set to lock horns in a Championship clash at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday, November 12th.

The matchup in question will see relegation-threatened Cardiff City play host to promotion-chasing Sheffield United.

First, let’s take a look at the recent efforts of the former.

Cardiff, all told, have endured a difficult campaign to date.

Owing to defeats in no fewer than ten of their 17 outings, the Bluebirds are teetering precariously just four points clear of the bottom three.

The most recent of these losses, meanwhile, came in midweek, and in hugely disappointing fashion.

A showdown with a struggling Hull City in Wales’ capital saw Mark Hudson’s troops head into proceedings with spirits high in the camp, fresh off a commendable three-point haul at Sunderland in their prior outing.

When all was said and done, though, Cardiff were brought crashing down to earth once more.

This came as the Bluebirds surrendered a late advantage to ultimately emerge on the wrong side of a five-goal thriller, owing to two late finishes from Hull’s Regan Slater.

Safe to say, then, that Cardiff will be desperate for a swift return to winning ways this weekend, in a bid to put further distance between themselves and the Championship’s bottom-three.

Such a result, though, will prove far from easy to come by.

This comes with upcoming opponents Sheffield United in the thick of the battle for promotion to England’s top tier.

The Blades, as alluded to above, were themselves condemned to defeat last time out, in hugely disheartening circumstances.

Fresh off getting their season firmly back on track courtesy of a trio of successive wins, Paul Heckingbottom’s men welcomed a Rotherham outfit tumbling down the table to Bramall Road, in full expectation of making it 12 points from 12 since the end of last month.

Upon the final whistle bringing a close to proceedings, though, it was Rotherham who emerged triumphant, courtesy of a solitary Ben Wiles effort late in the first-half.

United, in turn, missed the chance to join Burnley on 38 points atop the Championship table.

We at 101, though, are backing this result to ultimately prove little more than a bump in the road amid the Blades’ charge back towards the automatic promotion spots.

Sheffield United departing the Cardiff City Stadium with all three points on Saturday therefore looks a safe bet.
