Cardiff vs Oxford United Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 21/04/2025, 01:11  by Nella Wagah in Championship Predictions

Cardiff City will entertain Oxford United in their next outing in the EFL Championship, hoping to boost their survival hopes. They currently sit second from bottom with three matches to go, while Oxford are six points above them in 19th. Our prediction for this match is below.

Cardiff are in the red. The Bluebirds have amassed 42 points and need to win their remaining games to stand a chance of avoiding relegation. Omer Riza’s men are three points from safety in a congested relegation battle.

They have won just twice in their last 14 games across all competitions and are winless in five. The Welsh club suffered its second successive loss on Friday, going down 2-0 at Sheffield United.

Oxford are also coming off a loss. Gary Rowett’s men, who are in the relegation picture, were pegged back 1-0 at home by Leeds United. That was their 19th loss of the campaign and left them five points above the drop zone.

The U’s have fared better than Cardiff in recent weeks, though they still lack consistency. They have won three times in their last six outings, with one of those victories coming against promotion-chasing Sheffield United.

Oxford won the reverse game 3-2. This was the two teams’ first meeting in more than a decade.
