Charlton vs Oxford United Predictions

• Both teams have scored in Charlton’s last five matches
• Oxford’s last six matches average 4.66 goals per game
• Both teams have scored in six of the last eight meetings between these two sides

Charlton’s struggle for clean sheets set to continue 

Charlton’s initial success when Johnnie Jackson took charge was based largely on a solid back five, defensive solidarity seems to have deserted The Addicks of late. Charlton have kept one clean sheet in their last eight matches – both teams have scored in seven of those contests, more recently, each of their last five matches have seen both teams find the net.

Expect goals when Oxford are in town

Karl Robinson makes no bones about wanting his sides too play on the front foot and the nature of his Oxford teams recent performances has led to several high scoring games. 28 goals have been scored in Oxford’s last six fixtures, an average of 4.66 goals per game. Oxford will be hoping to take advantage of Charlton’s recent defensive woes.

Charlton have little to play for now, nine points off the drop zone and have no chance of making the play-offs. I am hoping they will play with freedom on Saturday, and it could make for a very entertaining game against an Oxford side who need no invitation to play on the front foot. The main selection for this game will be both teams to score and over 2.5 match goals – there’s no recent form to suggest either team will keep a clean sheet. The correct score prediction for this one will be a 2-1 away win.
