After picking up just one point in their last two games, Leicester City will be itching to return to winning ways as they welcome Oxford United to King Power Stadium in this Championship Matchday 29 clash on Saturday. Can the Foxes bounce back against the Yellows? Check out our prediction for the match below.
After defeat at Coventry, Leicester City dropped points yet again at Wrexham on Tuesday. Jannik Vestergaard scored just at the stroke of full time to cancel out Lewis O'Brien's 63rd-minute lead, saving a point for the visitors in a thrilling 1–1 draw.
Tuesday's stalemate saw the Foxes drop to 14th in the standings with 38 points, sitting five points out of the playoff places. Martí Cifuentes' team will look to get back to winning ways on Saturday, but will have to do better, especially defensively. They have now conceded in their last 22 Championship matches, including in their last 10 home fixtures.
Oxford United's poor run of form in the English second division continued on Tuesday against QPR. They drew 0–0 against the Rangers, extending their winless run to four Championship matches.
Matt Bloomfield's charges desperately need a win to strengthen their survival hopes as they sit 23rd in the standings with 24 points – five points away from the safety zone. They have also struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 away matches across all competitions.
