The Cardiff City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Hull City recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat.  In that game they had 45% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Hull City who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.  

They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Cardiff City Stadium.  Mark Hudson will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.  

Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.

The Sheffield United squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Rotherham United, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  During that encounter they recorded 66% of the possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 2 of their 4 shots on goal.  

Manager Paul Heckingbottom will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games.  With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.  

They have put together an impressive run of away form recently, having clocked up 4 victories from 6 matches on the road.  

Oli McBurnie will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sheffield United.
