Oxford United host Southampton in what looks like a one-sided clash based on form and stats. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Yellows are struggling this season, earning just 0.7 points per game overall, with a 10% win rate. They’ve scored 0.9 goals per match and conceded 1.6, while failing to keep a single clean sheet. BTTS has occurred in 70% of their matches, showing their leaky defense is often punished.
The Saints, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence ahead of Friday's clash, with 1.9 points per game overall and a 60% win rate, including a strong 67% win rate at home. They score 2.3 goals per match and concede 1.4, with BTTS hitting in 80% of their games. They remain consistent in selection, with no fresh injury concerns.
Given Southampton's clear superiority in form, stats, and squad strength, Away Win should be considered. BTTS and Over 2.5 goals are also worth considering as Oxford occasionally score at home and Southampton are consistent scorers.
This Championship match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
