Coventry vs Oxford United Predictions

• Both teams have scored in nine of Coventry’s last 11 home league matches.
• Oxford have scored in their last seven competitive games.
• Coventry are winless in seven league fixtures.

Sky Blues bounce back in midweek

Coventry, well fancied for a promotion push, were a bit flat in their opening 1-0 defeat at Stoke and Mark Robins will be looking for major improvement here.

Their confidence was buoyed by a midweek win in the EFL Cup, but their defensive issues have seen them concede in 11 of their last 12 Championship home games and an impressive Oxford can take advantage.

Yellows make flying start

The Yellows made a mockery of their pre-season relegation favouritism with a 2-0 win over Norwich in their first second-tier match since 1999. Another win may be beyond them, but they can at least get something from their trip to Coventry.

Both teams have scored in nine of Coventry’s last 11 home games in the Championship, and I expect that to happen again, while a 1-1 correct score prediction also appeals after the Sky Blues failed to win their last seven league affairs.
