Oxford United and Reading are looking to hold on to their playoff positions in League One. Ahead of their Thursday meeting at Oxford, the hosts are third in the standings, on 23 points, and Reading sixth with 22. The latest two meetings between these sides were drawn, and we are backing the same in our prediction.
Before they rose to the Championship, Oxford had drawn both matches against Reading in 2023/24. The two games ended 1-1, and there are writings all over that this could be a repeat.
The U’s are coming off a 1-1 draw with Barnsley, their fifth league draw of the season. Across their six home matches this season, they’ve been alternating wins and draws, yet their last home outing was a 1-0 over Stockport County.
Reading haven’t had their best results when playing away from home. In six league matches, they’ve only managed one win. Going by this record, a draw against the third placed team will be welcome.
Half of the Royals' six away league matches ended in draws, but their latest outing was also an away game, which they drew. That 0-0 draw with Plymouth wasn’t a bad result against a team ahead of them in the standings.
However, it brought to an end their two-game winning run, having beaten Barnsley and Leyton Orient before.
