Oxford United vs Southampton Predictions

Southampton can take the away win and add to Oxford’s recent woes when they visit the Kassam Stadium on Friday. The hosts have been poor at home, with just two wins in 10 matches, while the visitors have won three of their 11 games on the road.

Oxford are 22nd in the Championship, with four wins, seven draws and 11 defeats from their 22 games this season, while Southampton are 11th, having won eight, drawn seven and lost seven. They are separated by 12 points.

The visitors have the edge up front. Oxford have scored just 11 goals at home this season in the Championship, but Southampton are in form going forward, having scored in 15 of their last 17 league games.

The hosts have been vulnerable defensively this season, conceding 15 goals in ten home games in the Championship – an average of 1.5 goals per game. Oxford have failed to keep a clean sheet in 11 of their last 13 home league games.

The home side are enduring a difficult run of results, having failed to win in nine of their last ten Championship games. Oxford have lost three of their last four matches.

Southampton can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. Five of Oxford’s last seven Championship matches have produced under 2.5 goals and nine of their 11 reverses this season have been by a single goal.
