Cardiff City - Oxford United predictions

Cardiff City might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Oxford United are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

At 4.44 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Oxford United are well aware of it themselves.

The Bluebirds’s previous Championship match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Sheffield United . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 6.44. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 2:0 result before the end.

The visiting team played a home game last week, losing to Leeds United and a one-goal difference. It was quite clear that the match was completely one-sided – top online bookies set the odds for Oxford United winning at 1.36.

Oxford United are here after a set of rather low-scoring events. The past two matches both ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals betting market and this is something to be taken into consideration ahead of this fixture.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Oxford United carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Cardiff as somewhat more likely to win.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Monday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

The 1 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
