Oxford United and Sheffield Wednesday will face off at Kassam Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The U’s are 22nd in the league standings, while the Owls are bottom of the table. Let’s get into the match prediction.
This is without doubt Oxford United’s most important game of the season, as a victory here could secure their survival in the Championship, while a loss could see them drop into the bottom two.
After only suffering a single defeat since the end of February, the U’s have now lost their last two league games against Derby and Wrexham and failed to score a goal in either of those matches.
The hosts have only lost one of their last six home games (W3 D2 L1), but they were beaten by this opponent in this exact fixture 3-1 last season.
Meanwhile, owing to their financial crisis and points deduction, Sheffield Wednesday have known their fate for a while now and are playing their remaining games as a formality.
The Owls lost to Middlesbrough 1-0 in midweek and are now winless in their last 39 matches. They have only won one league game this season, a 2-0 victory over Portsmouth in September.
The visitors have taken just eight points from 22 away games this season and have failed to score in their last three league matches on the road.
