Coventry City remain in control of their promotion chances but have lately dropped off. The Championship leaders will be looking to avoid a third straight defeat when they host second-from-bottom Oxford United. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Once holding a comfortable lead at the league summit, Coventry are now constantly having to look over their shoulder. The Sky Blues are tied at the top with Middlesbrough on 58 points.
They are coming off a 2-1 defeat at QPR, which was their third loss in five league matches. Returning home comes with some promise, Coventry having only lost once in 14 home league games.
Oxford United are also coming off back-to-back defeats and hope to beat a Coventry side on just two wins in seven league games. Instead of looking to worsen Coventry’s promotion campaign, they will be focused on bettering their season.
At this point in time, survival for the U’s is getting tougher as they’ve fallen five points shy of safety. This wasn’t helped by their 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United.
The standings indicate this was their 15th defeat in 30 games so far in the season. Only two sides have lost more than Oxford United this season, and they are all in the relegation zone.

Our Coventry City vs Oxford United Prediction
Coventry City have stuttered in recent league games, which has affected their push for automatic promotion. With a healthy goal difference, they remain top of the standings but have been nervy in defence lately. This has resulted in very few clean sheets recorded by Frank Lampard’s side.
Oxford United will want to take advantage of this, though they aren’t in their best shape coming here. The visitors have also not been at their best on the road, and we expect them to lose this. Our prediction for Coventry City v Oxford United is for Coventry City to win and BTTS.
