Oxford United

Coventry City, the Championship leaders, host relegation-threatened Oxford United in a crucial clash. Given the huge gap in quality between the two teams, we predict a 3-1 home win. Frank Lampard's men suffered a 2-1 defeat at QPR last weekend and face a fitness concern over forward Ephron Mason-Clark, who is a major doubt. At home, the Sky Blues have been solid, winning 75% ...
