Oxford United vs Preston North End Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Kennedy Kechula in Championship Predictions
Preston North End’s recovery is on, and they’ll be eyeing a third straight win when they travel to Oxford United on Saturday. As they meet in the Championship, both teams have been shaky in the early days of the season. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Oxford United’s return to the second-tier after 25 years hasn’t been great so far. They did start with a win but are coming into this game off the back of three straight defeats. The most recent of those losses was inflicted away to Coventry City in the League Cup.
It was the second time in three matches that they faced Coventry, and lost. The highs in their wins against Norwich City and Peterborough United are now forgotten and Oxford will be desperate to bounce back. Returning home should raise such hopes, having won both home matches so far.
Preston North End are slowly getting back to their rhythm after a poor finish last season and a slow start this term. The appointment of Paul Heckingbottom as new manager is so far proving a well-thought move.
He has been in charge for two matches and Preston have registered back-to-back wins. His first was an impressive 1-0 win at home to Luton Town in the league. The Lilywhites then thrashed Harrogate Town 5-0 in the League Cup for their third clean sheet in four matches.
Two more away matches are lined up and the away fans will hope Preston can do better on the road after recent struggles. In their last six away Championship matches, Preston North End failed to score, losing five.
