Bristol City will look to avenge their reverse fixture defeat to Oxford United when the sides meet again this Saturday in matchday 27 of the EFL Championship campaign. This match in Oxford between the 23rd-placed Yellows and the 10th-placed Robins comes with our prediction of an away win with BTTS.
Oxford’s 22 points from 25 matches (W5, D7, L13) see them start this round three points outside the safety zone. Bristol’s 39 points (W11, D6, L9) see them start just two points outside the top six and still competitive in the playoff race.
After beating MK Dons via penalties in the FA Cup third round last weekend, Oxford will hope to improve their league fortunes. Four defeats out of the last five league games (W1) are a concern, although the postponed game against Sheffield has given them more than two weeks between the league matches.
Home form has been oscillatory, with the Yellows winning only two of their last seven home league games (D2, L3).
Bristol thrashed Watford 5-1 at home in their FA Cup game last weekend to make it four wins in their last six competitive matches. Three of those wins have come in the league, but they are still searching for consistency.
That’s more evident on the road, where they have alternated results in their last five league trips (W2, L3).

Our Oxford United vs Bristol City Prediction
Oxford’s first win of the season came against Bristol in the reverse fixture in September, and they would dearly want an encore. With four defeats in their last five games, the hosts are struggling to move out of the relegation zone. Bristol are in a slightly better position as they are fighting to be in the playoff spots, but two defeats out of the last three are a concern, as is their indifferent form on the road.
The away team could capitalise here, and our Oxford United vs Bristol City prediction is Bristol City wins and BTTS.
