Oxford United vs Hull City Predictions

• Oxford United have only lost one of their last five
• Hull City have lost three of their previous five fixtures
• The U’s are unbeaten in three games at home

Hosts to boost survival hopes

Friday’s Championship encounter between Oxford United and Hull City features two teams enduring contrasting fortunes in the second tier.

The hosts are bang in the mix for relegation, with Matt Bloomfield’s side 23rd in the table and two points from safety.

Hull are currently fifth in the table and can still finish in the top two, but they may not have it all their own way this week.

After the lengthy break due to the international break, there is no guarantee that both teams are firing on all cylinders.

Oxford are unbeaten in three at home, and two of those games contained under 2.5 goals. Bloomfield’s team have only lost one of their last five and they should be able to share the spoils with Hull.

Sergej Jakirovic have lost three of their last five and it is tough to trust them on the road, where they have lost two of their previous three.

Oxford have lost their last two games against Hull, but only by a one-goal margin and this time they can earn a point.
