Newly-promoted Oxford United take on the Baggies of West Bromwich Albion in the Championship this weekend. Will our match prediction favour the U’s to land the win, or will the Throstles get back to winning ways after a mini slump in form of late?
Sitting eleventh in the table, Oxford United will be relatively pleased with their start to the season. A run of three draws and one win in five games has steadied the ship.
Those three draws have all come in their last three matches, a 0-0 at home to Burnley, a 2-2 away to Luton and lastly a 1-1 draw on the road at Portsmouth ahead of the international games.
This will be the first league game between the teams since 1999. West Brom were winners in that fixture and after a good start in this campaign, the Baggies topped the table in the early weeks of the season.
However a run of two defeats and a draw in three has dropped them to fourth in the table.
They drew 0-0 at home to Millwall in their last game before the break.
An important stat to note is that ten of WBA’s 12 league goals have come away from home this season.

Our Oxford United vs West Brom Prediction
Our prediction for the Oxford United v West Brom clash in the Championship is: Over 2.5 Goals.
A high proportion of Oxford's games recently have not just seen both teams score, but also over 2.5 goals scored. Add to that West Brom's fantastic away scoring record, which is five times better than their home record, in one game fewer, and the data suggests that this game will be far from a cagey encounter and has a good chance of seeing a fair few goals be scored.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
