Coventry

Oxford United

Both Teams To Score - No

Reason for tip

Coventry City have built their promotion push on defensive control and look well placed to keep things tight again at the CBS Arena. They sit top of the Championship and have won 17 of 30 games, conceding few clear chances along the way. Oxford United are struggling badly for results, with defeats in four of their last six away matches and limited attacking threat overall. Against the league leaders, Oxford look unlikely to breach a well-organised Coventry back line.

Coventry 1-0

Reason for tip

A narrow home win fits the profile. Coventry have won their last two home games and have beaten Oxford by a single goal in two of the last three meetings. Oxford are used to tight defeats, with six of their 15 losses this season coming by a 1-0 scoreline. Coventry do not need to overextend themselves here and can control the game, grind Oxford down, and edge it with a single decisive goal.

Coventry’s defence can shut out Oxford

Coventry have been solid at the back this season and both teams not to score is the best bet for Saturday’s Championship clash between Frank Lampard’s side and Oxford at the CBS Arena.

Coventry are top of the league, having won 17 of their 30 games this season, while Oxford are 23rd with six wins, nine draws and 15 losses.

Coventry have been the winners in two home games in a row but Oxford are struggling to get wins, having failed to win six of their last seven Championship games. They have sustained four reverses in their last six away games.

Coventry have won their last two Championship home games and have beaten Oxford by a single goal in two of the last three clashes between the teams. With six of Oxford’s 15 defeats this season coming by a 1-0 scoreline, a narrow win for Coventry looks on the cards.
