Bet on Sheffield United vs CardiffWill the Sheffield Side Secure Fourth-Round Spot?
These two are at opposite ends of the Championship table. Sheffield United are sitting pretty in third, a point behind leaders Leeds United. Cardiff languish in 23rd after just five wins so far.
Having taken only one point from a possible nine, United bounced back with a much-needed win last time out. Goals from Gustavo Hamer and Andre Brooks were enough for a 2-1 victory at Watford.
Cardiff have had a miserable season, but Omer Riza’s side have shown signs of life of late. After ending 2024 with a 2-1 win at Vicarage Road, the Welsh team have started 2025 with battling draws with Coventry City and Middlesbrough.
Both teams have bigger fish to fry in terms of Championship objectives, but this should be an entertaining cup tie in Sheffield. Which second-tier side will book their spot in round four?

United have had City’s number in recent years, winning each of the last five meetings. Cardiff’s last success in this fixture was a 2-0 Championship win back in 2017.
