Oxford United and QPR face each other at Kassam Stadium in the Championship round 28. As both sides struggled offensively at the weekend, we predict a low-scoring 1-1 draw. The U’s are winless in four league matches and have averaged just 0.80 goals per game overall, failing to score in 40% of their fixtures. Their home form offers slight encouragement—1.40 points per game and 1.00 goal conceded on average—but Oxford’s attacking efficiency remains low, reflected in a home xG of 1.57. Donley, Goodrham, Placheta, Prelec, and ter Avest all remain sidelined, but no fresh injury worries for the Yellows.
The Hoops, meanwhile, head into the match following a goalless draw with Stoke and appear more stable than their opponents despite inconsistent results. The Hoops collect 2.40 points per game at home, but their away numbers fall sharply, averaging 0.80 goals scored and just 0.40 points per match on the road. Defensive struggles away from Loftus Road also appear in their xGA of 1.63. Still, QPR hold the upper hand historically, winning 3 of the last 5 meetings and keeping 60% clean sheets in those encounters. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
With both sides struggling in attack and carrying similar defensive trends, margins could be thin in this mid-table clash. Therefore, Under 2.5 goals is our main betting tip for this Championship matchup, alongside Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 20 January 2026 at 19:45.
