Oxford United
LLLDLW
Oxford United will go into this match following on from a 1-0 Championship win as they beat Watford in their previous match.
In that game, Oxford United managed 38% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Oxford United was Siriki Dembélé (82'). For their opponents, Watford had 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target.
The stats tell the story, and Oxford United have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals in total. Defensively, Oxford United seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this next game, though.
Going into this encounter, Oxford United are without a win away from home in their last 8 league games. Who knows how long it might last, too.

💡 Prediction
It looks to us that Middlesbrough look likely to get the goals that they need when they face Oxford United, who might well find it a difficult task scoring a goal of their own.
We’re tipping a 2-0 winning score for Middlesbrough come full-time.
