Portsmouth vs Oxford United Predictions

• Both teams have scored in eight of the last nine contests between these two teams
• Oxford have scored 25 goals in their last ten League One matches
• Portsmouth’s last six matches have averaged four goals per game

 A fixture in which both teams tend to score 

History is suggesting to side with both teams scoring in this one. Both teams have scored in eight of the last nine contests between Portsmouth and Oxford United. The nature of both teams’ recent fixtures also points to this game being a high-scoring contest. Portsmouth’s last six matches have seen 24 goals scored in total an average of four goals per game. 41 goals have been scored in Oxford’s last ten matches, averaging 4.1 goals per game. This one has all the makings of being a thriller.

Free scoring Oxford fancied to go well once more

No team in League One has scored more goals in the last 10 game period than Oxford United. Karl Robinson’s side have scored 25 goals in their last ten matches and look set to reach the play-offs for a 2^nd consecutive season. Oxford have won their last three matches, scoring nine goals in the process and can take further encouragement from their last meeting with Portsmouth. These two teams met at the Kassam Stadium on February 5^th; Oxford ran out 3-2 winners that day thanks to a 96^th minute Nathan Holland winner.

There’s a lot to suggest this will be a high scoring affair and I will be firmly on board. The main selection for this contest will be both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the match. Despite Portsmouth finding a bit of form lately, I think the visitors will have too much form them, just as they did at the beginning of February. As such, the correct score prediction for this game will be a 3-1 Oxford win.
