Hull City vs Oxford United Prediction: The U’s to continue their struggle

Hull City will welcome Oxford United to The MKM Stadium on Wednesday. Oxford United are winless in their last eight games. Can they bounce back to winning ways? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Hull City

DWLWD

Hull City managed to secure a 1-1 draw in their last game against Bristol despite playing around 80 minutes of the game with 10 men. Joao Pedro Galvao scored the game’s first goal for the Tigers in the 13th minute before been sent off a minute later. The reduction tactically affected the team and resulted in a new complete defensive strategy that only saw Bristol score a penalty in the 54th minute. Hull remain unbeaten in four of their last five games but have only managed one win in their last seven games at home. They sit 19th on the table with 37 points in 36 games, scoring 36 goals and conceding 45. Meanwhile, Joao Pedro (suspension), Abdulkadir Omur (knee injury), Dogukan Sinik (leg injury), Eliot Matazo (ACL), Louie Barry (ACL), Mohamed Belloumi (ACL), and Liam Millar (ACL) will all miss this game.

Oxford United

DLLLD

Oxford United played a 1-1 draw in their last game against Norwich. Mark Harris scored for the U’s in the 18th minute to cancel Joshua Sargent’s 5th minute strike. Oxford remain winless in their last eight games and have managed one win in their 18 away games this season. They sit 18th on the table with 39 points in 36 games, scoring 37 goals and conceding 53. However, Max Woltman, Stuart Findlay, Greg Leigh, Joe Bennett, and Tom Bradshaw are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Expert Betting Tips

Oxford United’s form on the road is really concerning, and nothing seems to change soon. The U’s have not won a game since January, so I think the Tigers will get an easy win in this game. Moreover, Hull are unbeaten in four of their last five games. Also, with the offensive strength of both sides, I doubt there will be lots of goals.

Our prediction for this match is for Hull City to win with odds of 1.73 at 1xbet.

Our second prediction is to see less than three goals for odds of 1.70 at Bet365.

Our third prediction is for at least one team to keep a clean sheet for odds of 1.75 at Betway.
