Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Oxford United
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over the likes of Coventry City and Blackpool, Rotherham United will be looking to return to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Oxford United at their AESSEAL New York Stadium. The Millers have been scoring goals for fun in all competitions of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Oxford United.
Seeing that the Yellows have been impressive in front of goal in the first half of the season as well, a real football festival is on the cards in Rotherham. Oxford United rolled over Doncaster Rovers 3-0 on Matchday 13 and considering that 23 goals in total have been netted in previous five meetings between Saturday’s rivals, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.
Highlighted Player (Adam Thompson):
Born in Harlow, England on September 28, 1992, Adam Thompson is a defender who plays for Bury in League One. Thompson started his youth career at Watford and after making 14 appearances for the Hornets at senior level, he moved to Southend United, signing a permanent deal with the club in January, 2014.
It has to be noted that he played for the likes of Brentford, Wycombe Wanderers and Barnet on loan as well before joining the Shakers. Adam Thompson has a short loan spell at Bradford City in the 2017/2018 season, but he made no more than nine appearances for the Bantams. Despite being born in England, Adam Thompson decided to represent Northern Ireland in international matches.
He made his debut with the Northern Ireland national team on February 9, 2011, coming from the bench in a 3-0 loss to Scotland. His main position is centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine showings at right-back as well.
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.
