Oxford United vs Watford Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Joseph King | in Championship Predictions
20th-place Oxford United host 10th-placed Watford for matchday 38 of the English Championship. The U’s will be looking to create some space between themselves and the drop zone while the Hornets seek to close the gap on the playoff positions. Read on for our match prediction!
Oxford’s brutal winless run was extended once more on Wednesday following a 2-1 away loss to Hull City. It was a particularly disheartening result as Oxford took the lead in the second half, only to give up two goals in three minutes to slump to another loss.
The result marked the fourth defeat in their last five overall and it’s now been nine games since Gary Rowett’s men last tasted victory. The barren run leaves Oxford sitting on 39 points, five ahead of the bottom three with the way things currently stand.
Watford, on the other hand, should be feeling good ahead of their short trip up the M40. The Hornets secured a gritty 1–0 home win over Swansea on Wednesday in a match of few chances, thus breaking out of a prior two-game winless run.
Overall, the visitors have now won three of their last five and have closed the gap on the promotion playoff spots to four points.

Our Oxford United vs Watford Prediction
Oxford simply haven’t been good enough lately. They’ve been outplayed in most of their recent home fixtures, which includes failing to beat a Bristol City side that finished with nine men on the pitch.
Meanwhile, Watford have been able to pick things up in recent weeks, especially away from home where they’ve taken five points from the last nine. With the insurance of the draw returning our initial stake, we believe there is some value in backing the more in-form team to get the job done. Our Oxford United vs Watford prediction: Watford draw no bet.
