Oxford United vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

Back under 2.5 goals in Saturday’s Championship clash between Oxford and West Brom at the Kassam Stadium. Five of West Brom’s last six league games have had fewer than three goals and, while the last meeting between these sides ended with three goals, the two encounters last season both went under 2.5.

West Brom are two places above Oxford in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts sit 23rd with six wins and 17 defeats, while West Brom are 21st with nine wins and 17 losses.

Both teams are struggling to find the back of the net against their own kind. West Brom have scored an average of just 0.86 goals a game in their seven Championship games against other teams in the bottom six this season, and have failed to win five of those matches. Oxford have scored an even lower average of just 0.29 goals a game in their seven home games against other bottom-half sides.

These are tough times for Oxford, with four of their last six Championship matches ending in defeat. West Brom have enjoyed two straight victories against Oxford, but they have failed to win any of their last 13 away games.

Both teams are struggling to find the net. Oxford have been unable to score in four of their last six Championship matches, losing their last two home games without a goal, while West Brom have blanked in four of their last six away games.

It could be hard to separate these two sides, with the 1-1 draw looking a decent correct-score bet. West Brom drew 1-1 against Charlton in their last Championship game and under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in their last four league matches.
