Prediction: 2-2
Oxford United
Portsmouth and Oxford United square off against each other at Fratton Park in what is expected to be a close Championship game. The Pompey do not seem to be competitive at this level and they must be low on confidence following a massive 6-1 defeat to Stoke City. All Kamara, Saydee, and Silvera are pushing for a start, while important player Colby Bishop is out with heart problems. The likes of Ibane Bowat, Kusini Yengi, and Callum Lang remain in the recovery room.
The Yellows, on the other hand, head into Saturday’s clash following a 2-2 draw with Luton Town. As Oxford United are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should know that both sides have found the net in each of their last six meetings in competitive matches. All Cameron Brannagan, Joseph Bennett, and Matt Phillips are injured for the visiting team.
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.
