Stevenage and Oxford United meet in League One round two, with both sides looking for their first league victory of the campaign. Given the attacking potential of both sides, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Boro followed a 2-1 EFL Cup win with a 1-1 draw against Burton in their opener and will be hoping to improve their attacking output. Summer signing Oliver Sanderson is pushing for a starting role after scoring from the bench at the weekend. Stevenage have scored just 0.90 goals per game across their last 10 matches.
Oxford United, meanwhile, also played out a 2-2 draw, sharing the spoils with MK Dons. The Yellows have struggled for consistency, winning only two of their last 10 matches and failing to win any of their previous five away games. There are no fresh injury concerns, while Mark Harris will continue leading the line after opening his account last weekend.
Considering that 4 of the last 6 meetings produced three or more goals, while both sides conceded twice in their opening games, Over 2.5 goals is our main betting pick, alongside Over 1.5 and BTTS (100% H2H).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
