Oxford United - Northampton Town predictions

Oxford United are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Northampton Town winning, though.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Oxford United, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The home team’s performance in the previous round was overall quite impressive. Although they were widely considered the favourites, the match could have gone either way. Instead, they took the lead almost immediately and went on to win the bout 1:3.

The away team are hoping for a more conclusive outcome than the 1:1 draw they had to settle for in the previous round. The tie was not entirely unexpected considering the relatively close betting odds, but Northampton Town had a lead at halftime that they ended up losing before the end.

Oxford United have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Northampton Town’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 6 in their previous 3 away games.

Oxford United have a narrow defeat on record from earlier in the season. With home-field advantage, however, they’re expected to win this showdown – at least as far as the bookies are concerned.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.93, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
