Prediction: 1-0
Oxford United
Saturday’s football game at DW Stadium pits together Wigan Athletic and Oxford United, the two teams who are eyeing promotion to the Championship. The Latics were producing fine displays before the international break, with the team beating both Burton and Fleetwood, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Callum Lang, who found the net in the last league match.
The Yellows, on the other hand, did well to hold Ipswich Town to a goalless draw at the weekend. Oxford United were producing fine displays in late October, but given Wigan’s current form, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. In their last meeting in the League One Oxford Utd defeated Wigan Athletic 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Nathan Cameron):
Born in Birmingham, England, on November 21, 1991, Nathan Cameron is a professional footballer who plays for Macclesfield Town as a defender. Cameron is a product of the Coventry City football school, and he continued wearing the sky blue shirt at the senior level.
He made 48 appearances in the league for Coventry City, but he played for the likes of Nuneaton Town (loan), Northampton Town (loan), and Bury as well before joining Macclesfield Town. Nathan Cameron has one cap for the England U20 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team.
The 188-cm-tall defender made his Macclesfield Town debut in the League two in a 2-0 loss to Milton Keynes Dons on November 17, 2018. His primary position is a centre-back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a right-back as well. His preferred foot is right, and he wears the number 25 shirt at Macclesfield Town.
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.
