Prediction: 1-3
Coventry
Oxford United will try to claim a major scalp in the Championship round 4 when they face Coventry City on Saturday afternoon. The Yellows experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a massive EFL Cup loss (0-6) to Brighton and given their three-game losing run in the early stages of the new Championship season, home win should not be considered. Adding to their woes, important defender Brodie Spencer limped off with injury in the midweek defeat.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, rolled over QPR 7-1 in their last league match. Taking everything into account, David faces Goliath at Kassam Stadium. Both Sakamoto and Sheaf remain in the recovery room, while duo Dovin – Eccles is rated doubtful for the visiting side. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be USA international Haji Wright, who has already found his goal-scoring touch.
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.
