Burnley's push for a direct promotion spot pits against them mid-table Oxford in this matchday 31 meeting at Turf Moor. This EFL Championship match on Tuesday between the 3rd-placed Clarets and the 16th-placed U's comes with our prediction of being a low-scorer.
Burnley has 58 points and is three behind second-placed Sheffield United, while Oxford has 37 points and is seven behind playoff spots. The Clarets are coming off a 0-0 away draw at Portsmouth, which was their fifth draw in the last seven league matches.
The hosts haven't lost in 17 league matches and kept eight consecutive clean sheets in the competition. That remains their strong point as Burnley has nine clean sheets from their last 11 home Championship matches. That said, Burnley scored only 36 goals in this league campaign and will be keen to improve on that front.
Oxford drew 1-1 at home against Bristol City in their last match, extending their unbeaten run to nine league matches, winning five and drawing four. The challenge for the visitors is to improve on the defensive front, as they have already conceded 44 goals, and only five teams have conceded more this season.
That hasn't troubled Oxford on the road recently, as they have remained unbeaten across their last four away league matches.

Our Burnley vs Oxford United Prediction
Burnley are coming off consecutive 0-0 draws, perhaps a disappointing sequence in their quest for direct promotion. The Clarets still have a remarkable defensive record this season, conceding just nine goals so far. That could pose problems for an Oxford side that has failed to score in six of their last nine away league matches. The visitors have one of the worst scoring records on the road this season, and there could be another low-scoring result on offer here. That's why our Burnley v Oxford prediction is under 2.5.
