Oxford United vs Wrexham Predictions

• Oxford are unbeaten at home to the top eight, with BTTS landing in six of those seven matches
• Wrexham have conceded in seven of their last nine away trips
• The visitors have failed to score only once on the road since Christmas

Desperate Oxford can test Wrexham

Oxford’s chances of Championship survival are on the line on Tuesday night, as they bid to close the five-point gap to Blackburn Rovers in 21st.

Oxford host a Wrexham side that are only two points shy of the play-offs. The Welsh side returned to form with a 2-0 victory over Stoke at the weekend, but they’ve struggled in away trips to teams in the bottom half. Draws at Portsmouth, West Brom, and Leicester could ultimately cost them, as could their poor defensive record on their travels.

Wrexham have conceded 25 goals across their 21 trips since gaining promotion to the Championship. They’ve kept two clean sheets across their last nine trips, and one of those came at bottom side Sheffield Wednesday.

On the other hand, Wrexham have only failed to score once away from home since Christmas, so their attacking threat should hurt Oxford. Josh Windass has a team-high seven away goals this season, and he’s scored in four of their last five matches.

While Oxford are rooted in the bottom three, their upcoming home meeting with Wednesday, along with this game in hand, should give them some hope. The hosts are unbeaten at home to the top eight this season, winning three and drawing four of those matches. Both teams have scored in six of those seven, and the same can land against a Wrexham side which looks a little too open.
