Oxford United vs Swansea City Prediction: One Point separate two sides

Oxford United will welcome Swansea City at The Kassam Stadium in Game Week 13 of the English Championship. One Point separate the two sides. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Oxford United form

After losing seven consecutive matches in the Championship, one would have thought that Oxford United must be demoralized by their current form. However, the team under Des Buckingham has managed to win five draws during this period, leaving them three points above the relegation zone. They have lost only one of the last six games, to Sunderland, who are currently way ahead at the top of the table. Well to be honest it was never going to be in doubt, Oxford had been awful on the road since getting promoted

Oxford has won all six league games on their own patch and conceded just three points from that period.

Oxford United Likely Starting XI

Cumming; Kioso, Moore, Nelson, Brown; Vaulks; Goodrhram, Rodrigues, Mizouni, Harris; Scarlett

Swansea City Form

Swansea have won only four points away and scored only two goals. Although Swansea has been good on defense as they have allowed just eight goals in 12 games, their attack has been poor as they have scored only eight goals.

Swansea has failed to score in their last five games, and with that, the pressure mounts on their manager Luke Williams.

Swansea Likely Starting XI

Vigouroux; Key, Cabango, Darling, Tymon; Grimes, Franco; Ronald, Cooper, Peart-Harris; Cullen

Oxford United vs Swansea City Expert Picks

Oxford will be absent some of its key players such as Joe Bennett, Cameron Brannagan, Siriki Dembele, Kyle Edwards, Matt Phillips, and Przemyslaw Placheta until after the November international break. That leaves Buckingham with very little room for maneuvering a different lineup, but the likes of Greg Leigh and Josh McEachran might be pushing for a recall.

Swansea may bring in some changes in the midfield and attack to get out of their scoring drought. Up front, Liam Cullen may replace Zan Vipotnik, while Ollie Cooper may return to the team. Andy Fisher, Josh Ginnelly, and Eom Ji-sung are unavailable for Swansea. Both teams haven't been picking up wins lately, but Oxford's home record has been good, and so has their defense, hence making them favorites for the game.
