Middlesbrough vs Oxford United Predictions

Boro to grind down Oxford

Middlesbrough are second in the league, with 18 wins, seven draws and seven defeats, while Oxford are 23rd having won six, drawn ten and lost 16 of their 32 games this season. They are separated by 33 points.

Middlesbrough have enjoyed three straight successes at home, but victories are proving hard to come by for Oxford, who have won just one of their last nine Championship matches.

Five of Oxford’s last seven Championship games have ended with at least one of the sides failing to score.

A narrow 1-0 victory for Middlesbrough looks the most likely outcome in the correct-score market. The hosts have won their last three home games and, of Middlesbrough’s 18 Championship wins this season, 13 have been by a single goal. Similarly, 11 of Oxford’s 16 defeats have come by the odd goal.
