Coventry City will put aside their Championship ambitions for their FA Cup third round action at home to Oxford United. Both teams are from winning outings in their respective leagues and hope to carry the same here. Coventry City beat Middlesbrough 3-1 in their latest match, setting up a seven-game unbeaten run. They come into this game with four wins in those seven matches. Coventry City have lost just once in their last 10 matches and they’ve had an impressive scoring run. In their last four matches, they scored two or more in three. All those three matches produced over 2.5 goals. Their good run is also reflected in their home form, having gone unbeaten in six home matches. Coventry City have scored two goals three times in the last four matches.

Oxford United will go into their second game of the year seeking a second straight win. They beat Charlton Athletic 2-1 in their opening game of the year. With that win they recovered from a 3-2 loss at home to Derby County. Even though they are in the top five of League One, inconsistency has marred Oxford United’s season. Oxford United have suffered two losses in their last four matches, much more than Coventry’s losses in 10 matches. The visitors will further be looking to improve on an away run that has just a win in four. They’ve lost half of their last six matches and coming into this game, they’ll be the underdogs. The last competitive meeting between these two was in 2019, and that ended in a 3-3 draw.
