Sheffield United host Oxford United in a Championship clash with both sides struggling near the bottom. Nonetheless, we predict a 2-0 home win as Sheffield Utd will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. The Blades are 17th, coming off a 1-1 draw with Millwall, and are missing Shackleton, Riedewald, and McCallum due to injuries. Despite recent inconsistency, Sheffield have been stronger at home, earning 2.25 points per game, scoring 3 goals per home match while conceding 1.5. Their attack remains dangerous, averaging 1.8 goals overall, but clean sheets are rare (10% overall).
Oxford United sit in 23rd and are struggling for form, picking up just 0.9 points per game. The Yellow have lost the likes of Donley, Goodrham, Prelec, and ter Avest to injury, which could impact their defensive stability. Away from home, Oxford have scored just 1 goal per match while conceding 1.25, but they’ve shown some attacking threat in pockets. H2H heavily favors Sheffield, who have won 6 of the last 7 encounters.
As Sheffield United have turned their Bramall Lane into a real fortress, Home Win is our main betting pick for this Championship matchup, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Home Team Over 5.5 corners.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 3 February 2026 at 19:45.
