Bury vs Oxford United Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Bury’s dismal run of form continued last weekend as they slumped to a 4-2 victory away at Bristol Rovers. The visitors started well by taking the league but once again showcased their inability to keep things tight at the back and their woes go on. A match against an Oxford team who are proven tough to beat of late probably isn’t exactly what’s needed and Bury could struggle once more.

One of Oxford strength’s has been defence, at least in recent weeks and thus if they can keep things tight here they’ll certainly fancy their chances of gaining a positive result. At odds of 2/1, ‘Oxford Clean Sheet’ looks very appealing.

Bury might have only failed to score on one occasion at home this season, but they are clearly struggling right now and Oxford will certainly fancy their chances of keeping things tight from a defensive point of view. The visitors will know that if they’re patient and can frustrate the hosts, then their chances will come on the break. After all, Oxford have kept six clean sheets this season.

When playing against sides who like to come onto them, Oxford have thrived this season and have enjoyed soaking up the pressure on the back foot. Their clean sheets against both Bradford and Bolton are ample proof of this.

Naturally, this certainly isn’t the most orthodox tip that you could find in this fixture, but at a decent price, there’s certainly reason to think the visitors have a decent chance of shutting out the hosts.
