Our prediction for this Championship match:
Kassam Stadium will be the centre of attention when Oxford United and West Bromwich Albion go head to head in the Championship round 10. The Yellows have drawn each of their last three league matches and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Saturday’s clash as well. Benjamin Nelson has overcome his minor injury, but all Cameron Brannagan, Joseph Bennett, and Matt Phillips remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Baggies, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run in the English second tier. As West Bromwich Albion failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Millwall, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting side this time out. Serbia midfielder Uros Racic is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while forward Daryl Dike continues to miss out with an Achilles tendon injury.
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.
