Oxford United vs Cardiff Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

 by Devesh Jaganath in Championship Predictions

Boxing Day in the Championship brings us a crucial bottom-of-the-table clash between Oxford United and Cardiff City at the Kassam Stadium. The Bluebirds and the U's are level on 18 points each and sit 22nd and 23rd in the league standings respectively. Check out our match prediction below!

Oxford United will be looking to bounce back from a painful run-in to Christmas, which saw them suffer a 4-0 hammering by Leeds United last weekend. 

That result extended their current winless streak to seven matches (W0 D1 L6), and also marked the seventh time in the last 10 games they conceded two or more goals. 

The Us’ points this season have come almost exclusively at home (16 of 18 points). However, they have only won one of their last five at the Kassam Stadium, which is a notable downturn since going the first six matches of the season unbeaten. 

Meanwhile, after a solid mid-table finish last season, Cardiff are back in the relegation scrap this season, currently the first team below the dotted line at Christmas. 

The Bluebirds enter this match off the back of a 2-0 loss at home to Sheffield United. That result marked the fifth consecutive league match in which they conceded two or more goals. 

The visitors have failed to win a game on the road this season (W0 D6 L4), but they have drawn each of their last three and lost only one of their previous five (W0 D4 L1).

Our Oxford United vs Cardiff Prediction

While Oxford United have seen a dip in results at home after going their first six unbeaten, the one thing that they have continued to do is score goals at the Kassam Stadium, failing to do so only once this term. 

Cardiff, meanwhile, are yet to win a match on the road this season, but they have also been tough to beat lately, having shared the spoils in five of their last six away games. We’re expecting both sides to get on the scoresheet in a close contest. Our Oxford United vs Cardiff City prediction is both teams to score.
