Oxford United - Hull City predictions

Oxford United have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Hull City. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Oxford United on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Oxford United are coming off from a slim Swansea City defeat in the last round of the Championship. This time around they will be looking to tighten up the defence and avoid conceding in the first half which cost them a positive result in the previous match.

A point from the previous league game against Portsmouth will have come as a disappointment for the Hull City faithful. Their team played at home and was a big favourite to land a victory but instead of maintaining the first-half lead, they were held to a 1:1 draw at the final whistle.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.88.
