Prediction: 1-0
Oxford United
Sunday’s football game at Ashton Gate Stadium pits together Bristol City and Oxford United, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2025/2026 Championship season. The Robins are eyeing Premier League promotion, while the Yellows’ main goal is to secure yet another Championship survival. Bristol City have been in a much better form than Oxford United in the early stages of the season and given their fine displays in back-to-back wins over Hull City (4-2) and Sheffield Wednesday (3-0), we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty.
In their last meeting at Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol City defeated Oxford United 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. To make things even worse for the visiting side, experienced forward Matt Phillips limped off with injury in a 2-2 draw with Leicester City at the weekend. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Highlighted Team (Bristol City):
Bristol City are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Bristol. Formed in 1894 the Robins mostly participated in English lower leagues and they have never played in the Premier League. Bristol City’s bitterest rivals are Bristol Rovers and it has to be noted that two teams first met in 1897. Bristol City have outplayed their local rivals on 43 occasions in the Bristol Derby.
Cardiff City are regarded as Bristol City’s bitter rivals as well. The Robins play their home games at Ashton Gate, the stadium that was opened in 1887. Bristol City were semi-finalists of the League Cup two times (1970/1971, 1988/1989), with the team making it to the FA Cup final in 1909.
The Robins faced Manchester United in the title game, but they failed to upset the English giants in the Crystal Palace clash. It is well known that Bristol City footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts.
