Oxford United vs Coventry City Prediction: The visitors expected to win

Oxford United will settle scores with Coventry City at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday. Coventry won their last four games against Oxford. Can they continue this dominance? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Oxford United

Oxford United suffered a 2-0 loss to West Brom in their last game to extend their winless run to six games with three losses. However, they have won four of their last six games at home. They sit 18th on the table with 38 points in 34 games, scoring 34 goals and conceding 49. However, Joe Bennett is doubtful for this clash due to a muscle injury he picked against West Brom, while Elliott Moore (groin), Ben Nelson (hip), Tom Bradshaw (knee), and Gregory Leigh (muscle) are ruled out due to injuries.

Coventry City

Coventry City secured a 2-1 win over Preston in their last game, thanks to goals from Jack Rudoni in the 30th minute and Bobby Thomas in the 37th minute. They have now won their last three games and their last three on the road. They sit 7th on the table with 50 points in 34 games, scoring 46 goals and conceding 42. Victor Torp remains a doubt in this game after missing their last two games due to a calf injury. However, Ben Sheaf is back in the team after coming on as a substitute in their last game. He had previously missed nine games due to a calf problem.
