Match Preview
Oxford United will host Sheffield United at The Kassam Stadium on Saturday, 27 September, as both teams look to improve their fortunes in the Championship. Oxford's recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches (LWLDD), while Sheffield United is struggling even more, having lost their last five games (LLLLW). This stark contrast in form could play a significant role in the match outcome. Historically, Oxford has enjoyed a slight advantage over Sheffield in their last ten encounters, winning four and losing two. However, Sheffield's desperate need for points may galvanise them to perform better than their recent displays suggest. A key angle to consider is the potential for both teams to score; in their last ten meetings, only two ended without both teams finding the net. With Oxford's home advantage and Sheffield's pressing need to break their losing streak, this match could see goals at both ends, making "Both Teams to Score" a compelling bet.
