Oxford United play host to Preston North End at Kassam Stadium on matchday 21 of the EFL Championship. Oxford are in 21st place in the league standings, while Preston are in fifth place. Here's our match prediction.
Oxford United are hovering dangerously above the relegation zone. With 19 points accumulated from 20 games, they have maintained a two-point cushion over the red dotted line. Losing this match might push them into the relegation zone by the end of the day.
In their latest league game against Blackburn away from home, they upset the odds in a 1-1 draw to snatch a point. That result extended their winless run to two matches.
The U's are at home this time around, aiming to snap that winless run. However, that will be easier said than done, given their unconvincing performances at Kassam Stadium this season. They've won two of their last nine matches at this venue and boast the fourth-worst home record.
Preston continues to drop points in the league through repeated draws. Coming into this match, they've drawn four of their last six matches.
Their most recent stalemate came against Coventry in a 1-1 draw. In the end, the result was deserved considering they had to play with ten men for much of the game after Liam Lindsay was shown the door in the 39th minute.
Away from home, they are unbeaten in their last four matches.

Our Oxford United vs Preston North End Prediction
It's been a disappointing season for Oxford United, who find themselves languishing in the bottom four. Their current performance has been underwhelming, with just one win in their last eight matches. They are slight favorites to secure three points as they head here unbeaten in their last two home league games.
Preston might be unbeaten in their last four matches, but the signs of inconsistency are hard to ignore. Given that they've drawn three of those outings by a 1-1 scoreline, they'll once again be content with a point in a low-scoring draw. Our Oxford United vs Preston North End prediction: BTTS.
