Prediction: 1-2
Norwich
Oxford United and Norwich City square off against each other at Kassam Stadium in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Yellow are eager to impress on their return to the English second tier, but they will have a big fish to fry in the season opener. The club chiefs have signed permanent deals with Peter Kioso, Jack Currie, and Idris El Mizouni in the summer transfer window, but important winger Josh Murphy is no longer part of the team.
The Canaries, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main favourites to secure automatic promotion, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. In their last meeting at Kassam Stadium Norwich City defeated Oxford United 4-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Adam Idah, who is back from his loan spell with Celtic, will be one of the men to watch in the away team.
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.
