Sheffield Wednesday - Oxford United predictions

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Sheffield Wednesday on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

The 2.66 away win betting odds indicate that Oxford United 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.

Sheffield W. quickly lost momentum in their previous home game – though they didn’t have much of a chance to begin with. They were up against Middlesbrough , a far stronger team, who snagged a comfortable 0:1 away win.

Oxford United lost their previous away game 1:0 after playing most of the match from behind. To be frank, the loss was a closer call than most expected - Championship betting odds priced their victory at 3.92, after all.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

A lot of games Oxford United play end with either 1 or no goals at all. This is most notably true for the previous two rounds of the league.

Oxford United are going into this match as the favoured side, but the head-to-head stats tell us a somewhat different story. In the previous season, The Owls defeated them with a considerable lead.

This match is worth taking a small risk over, thanks to the Pncl offer of the 2.67 odds for a Draw/Draw result in the Half Time/Full Time market.
