Watford - Oxford United predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.97, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It would be a minor miracle for Oxford United to win at Watford, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.81 price on most online sportsbooks.

did not have big expectations heading into their Championship trip last time out. At the odds of 3.39 they were not greatly favoured to claim an away win. However, after the first 45 minutes it surely looked as if they could actually snatch the three points. Ultimately, they lacked strength to endure the pressure for the entire match. A Portsmouth draw is by no means a bad result though.

Looking at the away team’s previous matchup, records show a draw on both halftime and the final whistle. Considering most bookies heavily favoured their opponents Queens Park Rangers and the home-field advantage they had, Oxford United can be content with such an outcome.

Oxford United are here after a set of rather low-scoring events. The past two matches both ended up confirming the Under 5 Goals betting market and this is something to be taken into consideration ahead of this fixture.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.99 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
