Oxford United vs Swansea City Predictions

• 34 goals have been scored in Swansea’s last ten competitive matches
• Oxford won 3-2 when these sides met in the FA Cup back in 2016
• Swansea have taken one point from their opening two league matches

Oxford will fancy their chances

Oxford put up a good display against promotion chasing Derby on the opening day of the season and Karl Robinson’s side followed that effort up with a comfortable 1-0 victory against Cambridge on Saturday. Oxford will fancy their chances on Tuesday against a Swansea side who have taken just one point from their opening two league fixtures and have been largely underwhelming so far this season – Swansea have now failed to win any of their last eight competitive matches.

Expect goals at the Kassam

With goals expected at the Kassam on Tuesday siding with the overs in this one may pay dividends. 34 goals have been scored in Swansea’s last ten competitive fixtures and the last time these two sides met back in 2016 in the FA Cup, five goals were scored with Oxford running out 3-2 winners on the day. Oxford created a host of chances on Saturday and with both managers encouraging their sides to entertain I am hopeful there won’t be a shortage of goal-mouth action at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday.

Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Match Goals will be the main selection for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup First-Round clash. I will chance a 3-2 home win for the Correct Score prediction, just as it finished when these sides last met in 2016.
