Oxford United have a final home match in the Championship to try and push their survival agenda. They will be squaring up with Sunderland, who have nothing to play for in the remaining two matches in the regular season. We have a prediction below.
Oxford United are battling to avoid a straight return to League One. They have struggled for the better part of the season and come here having won only three of the last 16 league matches.
On Monday, they drew 1-1 with Cardiff City, recovering from the earlier 1-0 home loss to Leeds United. With four more points, they’ll be safe.
Sunderland were sure to finish in the playoff positions for a while now. They go into this game without anything else to play for in the regular season.
The Black Cats’ focus is on the promotion playoffs for now, and like it has been earlier, they are expected to rest key players.
In the reverse match, they beat Oxford 2-0 at home, but the chances they will complete a double are slim. Sunderland haven't won any of their last four matches after securing their place in the top six.
They have lost all of the last three and failed to score in three of the last four. Their latest outing ended in a 1-0 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers.

Our Oxford United vs Sunderland Prediction
Sunderland are saving their best for the playoffs after securing fourth spot in the Championship. They have had a superb season but aren’t coming into this game on a fine run, and they’ve also managed just one goal in the last four matches.
With that, therefore, Oxford United should be able to take advantage, especially as they play this match at home. Twice in their last four home games, they posted wins. Our prediction for Oxford United v Sunderland is for Oxford United to win to nil.
