Oxford United - Portsmouth predictions

Though Oxford United are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

The 3.09 away win betting odds indicate that Portsmouth are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

Oxford United are coming on the back of an away draw (0:0) in the previous round against Derby County . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for Oxford United considering the 2.33 odds on them.

Portsmouth is coming on the back of a textbook home win in the previous round. They took the lead in the first half and kept up the pace until the final whistle, which earned them 3 more points in a 2:1 win against Cardiff City.

With two consecutive matches with 1 goal or fewer, games in which Oxford United play are not the best for Over markets.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Portsmouth. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Oxford United have had the chance to play against Portsmouth several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Championship. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites Oxford United are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

Thankfully, Portsmouth will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

At the odds of 2.50, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for Oxford United.
