Oxford United: Form and Statistics

Oxford United suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of Brighton midweek in the EFL Cup round of 1/32 which ended 0-6.

In three league matches played, this team lost each, coming against Portsmouth, Hull City and Birmingham. Meanwhile, this team has two wins in their last home matches, while also picking a draw against Leganes in a friendly game.

Oxford United vs Coventry Match Prediction 30th August 2025

Oxford United have been below par in the league but it is clear they can not be written off. At home, this Oxford United team could pick momentum especially after their cup defeat to Brighton demanding response from Gary Rowett’s side. Meanwhile, Coventry seem to have been too good for this side as they have won the last meetings of this fixture. Meanwhile, with the way things have ended for both teams recently, it is clear Lampard’s side prioritize the Championship League and they should go all for the win as favourites. Also, the visiting team has been known for posing a lot of attacking threat in the final third and the record of this fixture also shows we are up for a high offensive outcome.
