Prediction: 2-1
Sheffield United
Saturday’s football game at Kassam Stadium pits together Oxford United and Sheffield United, the two bottom-table sides. The Yellows aim to build on a 3-1 win over Bristol City and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against the Blades. Bear in mind, though, that both Cameron Brannagan and Jack Currie are major doubts after picking up knocks in the last league match.
The Bramall Lane outfit, on the other hand, have been struggling in the early stages of the season, with the team losing each of their first six games of the process. Given their shaky defence and difficulties up front, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Oxfordshire, but all Davies, Ings, Arblaster, Shackleton, and Sachdev remain in the recovery room.
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.
