Norwich City - Oxford United predictions

The online bookies marked Norwich City as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Oxford United winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.96 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Although Norwich City are coming on the back of a harsh 4:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Birmingham City , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

The 1:1 draw Oxford United recorded in the previous round can definitely be described as a minor success. They may have played that game at home, but they were still the clear underdogs in a relatively one-sided matchup. The goal they unexpectedly snagged in the early game turned out to be crucial for staving off defeat.

Norwich City’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Championship matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Given 6 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Oxford United's defensive line is much to be desired.

Before committing to any betting predictions, we’ll have to mention the harsh defeat The Canaries suffered last season. Oxford United walked away with an impressive victory on that occasion which directly defies the $ODDS home win odds offered by top online bookmakers.

Tuesday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.92, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
