Watford vs Oxford United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Devesh Jaganath in Championship Predictions
A jam-packed weekend in the Championship gets underway at Vicarage Road where Watford will play host to Oxford United on Friday night. The Hornets are in fifth place with 22 points, while the U's are 14th with 17 points. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Watford have made a solid start to the league season, notching up seven wins from their first 14 games while scoring 22 goals, which is the second-most in the division behind Sunderland (23).
Notably, though, the Hornets have only drawn once this season and lost six times, which is also the second-most defeats in the league so far.
However, none of those six losses have come at home this term, with the side boasting five wins and a draw at Vicarage Road. They also scored two or more goals in four of those games.
Meanwhile, Oxford United managed to pull off a much-needed 1-0 victory over Hull City in midweek, with Hidde ter Avest scoring the only goal of the game.
That result brought an end to a painful eight-match winless run that included five draws and three losses dating back to the middle of August.
The visitors have been very poor on the road in particular, with four of their five defeats this season coming in away games. They are still in search of their first victory after six .

Our Watford vs Oxford United Prediction
While Watford have lacked consistency this term, they have been in excellent nick when on their home patch and are still unbeaten after their first six league games here, winning five of those matches.
Oxford United, on the other hand, have been dismal on their travels, managing just two points in six games, and we feel they will suffer another defeat in this one. Our Watford vs Oxford United prediction: Watford wins!
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout
More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
