Although they did not have a good start to the season, Sheffield Utd managed with great games in the second part of the season to break through to the 6th position in the table, which leads to the playoffs for the Premier League. They certainly want to stay in that position and try to return to the Premier League only a year after they dropped out of it. The host has not won the last three games and so little endangered his position, the main reason for that is the absence of captain Sharp, who is returning for this game, so it will be a big boost for the "Blades". He missed as many as 6 games and Sheffield was forced to play without strikers, which was reflected in their results. Sheffield played well against Bristol away, they created several good opportunities but in the end, failed to win all 3 points. Important midfielder Fleck is also returning to the first team, so almost the strongest team Sheffield will play this very important match today. Cardiff suffered back-to-back defeats over Easter to leave them with three defeats in their last four games, as their season is over because they have nothing left to play for. First goalkeeper Smithies is leaving on a free transfer and has therefore been left out of the squad for the last two games, so Phillips should continue in goal. This can be a big problem for the guests because the defence needs time to play with the goalkeeper. Cardiff lost deservedly to Luton in the last round, they did not open the game well, they played a little better in the second half but that was not enough for a point. Today's game is important for only one team, Cardiff comes without any motive and this game has no result significance for them. Sheffield simply has to win this game and anything but their victory would be a real surprise, their attack will be better with Sharp so I expect an easy victory.

My prediction;

Outcome: Sheffield to win

尽管本赛季开局并不顺利，但谢菲尔德联在后半段凭借出色的发挥突破到积分榜第6位，晋级英超季后赛。他们当然想留在那个位置，并在退出英超一年后尝试重返英超联赛。东道主最近三场比赛都没有赢球，也很少危及到自己的位置，主要原因是本场比赛回归的队长夏普缺席，这对“刀锋”来说将是一个很大的推动力。他错过了多达6场比赛，谢菲尔德被迫在没有前锋的情况下上场，这反映在他们的结果中。谢菲尔德客场对阵布里斯托尔发挥出色，创造了多次良机，但最终未能全取3分。重要的中场球员弗莱克也将重返一线队，因此几乎最强的球队谢菲尔德将在今天参加这场非常重要的比赛。卡迪夫遭遇背靠背复活节的失利让他们在过去的四场比赛中输了三场，因为他们的赛季已经结束，因为他们没有什么可玩的了。第一门将史密西斯将自由转会，因此在最近两场比赛中都被排除在大名单之外，因此菲利普斯应该继续进球。这对客人来说可能是一个大问题，因为防守需要时间与守门员一起比赛。卡迪夫上轮输给卢顿当之无愧，他们开局并不好，下半场打得好一些，但这还不够一分。今天的比赛只对一支球队很重要，卡迪夫没有任何动机，这场比赛对他们来说没有结果意义。谢菲尔德只需要赢得这场比赛，除了他们的胜利之外，其他任何事情都将是一个真正的惊喜，他们的进攻会在夏普的帮助下变得更好，所以我期待一场轻松的胜利。

预测：谢菲联胜
