Oxford United - Leicester City predictions

Oxford United are no strangers to surprises but with 3.97 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

With 1.91 odds for an away win, Leicester City have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

Oxford United barely managed to scrape together a 2:2 draw in their previous home game. Their opponents, Coventry City , went into the game as hard favourites and managed to hold on to a lead for most of the game. A surprise equalizer in the second half earned Oxford United one point, though.

The Foxes’s previous Championship match saw them play top of their game. They were considered somewhat weaker than their opponents Birmingham City, so the lead in the first half was unexpected. The Foxes then proceeded to decisively win the match 2:0.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Oxford United have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.02 odds offered at Pncl.
