Middlesbrough - Oxford United predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.55 bring great value considering the fact that Middlesbrough are indeed firm favourites to defeat Oxford United.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of The Boro and the 6.00 odds given to Oxford United to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

When it comes to Middlesbrough’s previous Championship clash, the betting odds widely got it right. It was a tight game between two similar teams and an HT/FT Luton Town draw clearly shows it.

The away team are coming off of a surprisingly strong performance against Watford last week, which came to the delight of their home supporters. Their 1:0 victory is considered a notable upset, seeing how most predictions expected an easy away win.

The Boro are going through a string of uneventful away matches. The last two both had one goal or fewer, so fans are hoping for a bit more excitement at Riverside Stadium.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Championship season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Oxford United. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.
