Cardiff City<\/a> and Sheffield United<\/a> return to action in the EFL Championship<\/a> when they square off at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting EFL Cup results, with the Blades knocking out Blackburn Rovers to reach the third round.<\/p>\n Cardiff City saw their EFL Cup journey come to an end on Tuesday when they fell to a 2-1 home defeat against Norwich City in the second round.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nThanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/template><\/p>\n Brian Barry-Murphy\u2019s men now turn their sights to the Championship, where they are yet to get off the mark this season, having played out consecutive stalemates with Wrexham and Derby County in their opening two matches.<\/p>\n Cardiff City will be hoping to make an impression on their return to the Championship, having finished second in the League One standings last term to gain promotion to the English second tier at the first time of asking.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n Meanwhile, goals in either half from Thomas Cannon and Romelle Donovan saw Sheffield United secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers in their EFL Cup second-round tie on Tuesday.<\/p>\n The Blades will look to build on their cup victory as they return to action in the Championship, where they have also failed to win their opening two matches, playing out consecutive goalless draws against Birmingham City and Swansea City.<\/p>\n Sheffield will be backing themselves to get off the mark this weekend at the Cardiff City Stadium, where they are unbeaten in six of their last seven visits, picking up four wins and two draws since March 2009.<\/p>\n Buoyed by their cup victory, Sheffield United will head into the weekend with renewed confidence as they take on a deflated Cardiff side who are yet to find their feet this season. <\/p>\n However, both sides are evenly matched on paper and we predict they will cancel out each other\u2019s efforts and settle for a share of the spoils.<\/p>\n Prediction<\/strong>: Cardiff City 1-1 Sheffield United<\/p>\n Tip 1: Result – Draw<\/p>\n Tip 2: Over 2.5 goals – No (There have been fewer than three goals scored in five of the last six meetings between the two teams)<\/p>\n Tip 3: Over 4.5 cards – No (There have also been fewer than five bookings in nine of their last 10 encounters)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
