Sheffield United are brimming with confidence and with no fresh selection concerns following an impressive 3–1 win over Leicester City. Therefore, we predict that they will defeat Oxford United 3-0 on Sunday afternoon. While Davies, Mee and Peck remain sidelined, the Blades have more than enough depth to cope, especially at Bramall Lane where they have been dominant. United are averaging 2.60 points per game at home, winning 80% of their matches, and conceding just 0.40 goals per home game. Their defensive solidity is backed up by a strong 0.85 home xGA, while going forward they continue to impress, scoring 2.80 goals per match at home with a 1.95 expected goals, highlighting consistent chance creation.
Oxford United, meanwhile, feel pressure after a 2–1 defeat to Ipswich Town, with Tyler Goodrham unlikely to feature, further weakening an already struggling side. Their away form is a major concern, having picked up just 0.40 points per game, failing to win any away match, and scoring only 0.60 goals per game on the road. Defensively, the Yellows are stretched, with no clean sheets all season and an away xGA of 1.73, suggesting they regularly allow high-quality chances. While BTTS has landed frequently in their games overall, that trend is far less convincing against top sides.
Given aforementioned statistical data (2.80 goals per home game), Sheffield United over 1.5 team goals seems like the best betting option. Additionally, Home Win and Sheffield United to Score First bets seem interesting.
This Championship match will be played on Sunday 4 January 2026 at 12:00.
