Bristol Rovers - Oxford United predictions

Bristol Rovers may come out on top this Saturday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Oxford United. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.60 for the hosts to win.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Bristol Rovers is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Oxford United.

Bristol Rovers disappointed their home fans in their previous League One bout against Exeter City. Despite favourable predictions and home-field advantage, their lukewarm performance left them behind for most of the game’s runtime. The narrow defeat they ultimately recorded was a missed opportunity to earn some points.

The visiting team are reeling after a narrow loss to Barnsley in the previous round. Their supporters expected more considering the close odds and home-field advantage, but the game ended with an HT/FT defeat.

The last 3 times we saw Bristol Rovers play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

Oxford United have been known to be especially dangerous when playing as visitors. They’ve scored more than 5 times in their previous 3 away games and should be taken into account for those of you who’d like to make a goal-related bet.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current League One season. Oxford United won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.86, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
