Sheffield United are in the driving seat in the Championship promotion race ahead of their away match at Oxford United. Heading into matchday 40, the Blades lead the standings, while Oxford United are just three places above the relegation zone. Read on for our prediction.
Oxford United, who once seemed assured of staying in the second tier are dangerously sitting just two points above the drop zone. They have failed to carry on with their form between Boxing Day and early February.
During that stretch, they went nine unbeaten in the league, winning five. In the nine league games after that, they’ve managed just one win, and lost six times. The latest of them was a 2-1 loss at Middlesbrough.
The U’s will have an even tougher outing against Sheffield United, who come into this game unbeaten in the last five league games. The visitors made the most of Leeds United’s stumble in the last round to take the leadership of the league.
Holding a two-point advantage, Sheffield will be keen on widening the gap. As they face a side they’ve beaten in each of the last five meetings, this offers the best chance at that.
The Blades, who thumped Oxford 3-0 in the reverse meeting, are coming from a 3-1 win at home against Coventry City. That was their eighth victory in 10 league matches.
