Stoke City - Oxford United predictions

Kickoff starts at 13:30 on 25/01/2025 played @ Bet365 Stadium refereed by Farai Hallam

Stoke City are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.05 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Oxford United may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Oxford United seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.80, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The hosts will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways following their last round’s disappointment. They suffered a dreadful Portsmouth away defeat without ever getting close to salvaging anything from the game. Having conceded early on in the game, things went from bad to worse for The Potters.

Oxford United’s spirits should be high after their latest Championship performance. Most bookmakers online favoured the away team, Luton Town. After a poor first half, Oxford United managed to snag a surprising 3:2 win.

Looking strictly at the home side, this match can be a solid choice for a bet like the Under 5 Goals market. Their previous two games at Bet365 Stadium ended up confirming even Under 5 Goals.

Oxford United have registered 6 goals in their three previous home games, which is impressive by any measure. Although they’ll be playing as visitors on Saturday, it’s still a very good idea to look at Over markets.

Though a home win is priced at 2.05, the hosts lost their most recent game against Oxford United. The two teams played earlier in the season, though Stoke City were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Jordan Thompson, Lynden Gooch, Eric Bocat, Sam Gallagher are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Stoke City’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.81 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
