Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bristol City will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Derby County and Blackburn Rovers when they take on Oxford United in the Championship round 6. The Robins have been struggling defensively of late, but Saturday’s football game could be the turning point for the home side. Talented Ireland forward Sinclair Armstrong is pushing for a start, while all George Earthy, Robert Dickie, Rob Atkinson, and Ross McCrorie remain in the recovery room.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Preston and Stoke City. Oxford United have found their form of late and seeing that Bristol City are in need of points, both teams to score betting option should be considered. When the two teams met in the EFL Cup last year Bristol City outplayed Oxford United 5-1. All Cameron Brannagan, Joseph Bennett, Matt Phillips, and Will Goodwin are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Nahki Wells):
Born on June 1, 1990 in Hamilton, Bermuda, Nahki Wells is a 170-cm-tall attacker who plays for the Bermuda national team. Wells is a product of Dandy Town Hornets youth academy and he continued playing for the Bermudan side at senior level.
The experienced striker played for the likes of Bermuda Hogges, Eccleshill United and Carlisle United before joining Bradford City in 2011. After spending three seasons at Valley Parade, Nahki Wells signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Huddersfield Town in the winter of 2014. In 2017 he moved to Burnley, but he played for Queens Park Rangers as a loan footballer in the 2018/2019 season.
Speaking of his international career, Wells made his debut for the Bermuda national team in 2007. He scored his first ever goal for Bermuda in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Trinidad and Tobago. The Burnley man will represent the Gombey Warriors at the 2019 Gold Cup.
Highlighted Team (Oxford United):
Oxford United are one of the oldest clubs in the League One as they were founded back in 1893. However, Oxford United adopted their current name 67 years later and have been playing under it ever since.
Over the years the Yellows have built a great rivalry with Swindon Town and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two sides. Oxford United play home matches at Kassam Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 12,500. The stadium was built in 1997 and has been Oxford United’s home ground ever since. The Boys from Up the Hill are well known for their yellow and blue colours, but they play their away games in dark blue (with a little yellow) or black kits.
Oxford’s player with the most league appearances is John Shuker, playing 478 games for the club from 1962 to 1977. On the other hand, Jim Magilton is the club’s most capped player in internationals, playing 18 games for Northern Ireland.
