Sheffield United will look to move away from the danger in the Championship with a win over the relegation-threatened Oxford United when the sides meet in a rescheduled matchday 26. This match on Tuesday at Bramall Lane between the 17th-placed Blades and the 23rd-placed Yellows comes with our prediction of more than 2.5 goals.
With 36 points from 29 matches, United (W11, D3, L15) are seven points above the relegation zone and are looking to pull further away from the bottom three. Oxford have 27 points from their 29 games (W6, D9, L14) and are still five points away from safety.
A 1-1 away draw at Millwall last weekend kept Sheffield in the mid-table with their tenth point across six league games (W3, D1, L2). Both their defeats have come by a 1-0 score, so the Blades are looking to be consistent with their results.
Sheffield have momentum at this venue with five wins across their last six league matches here (D1).
Oxford lost 2-0 at home against Birmingham last weekend, ending a run of three winless games (W1, D2). They are still in the relegation zone, and even a win here won’t get them out of the bottom three.
Their away form is a concern, as Oxford have lost four of their last seven away league trips (W1, D2), although they won their latest.

Our Sheffield United vs Oxford United Prediction
Sheffield are comfortably above the relegation zone, and a major part of that is because of their recent home form. The Blades haven’t lost at their home venue across their last seven league matches, winning five and drawing two. This could be troubling news for Oxford, who have won just once in their last 11 Championship matches. Of concern for the visitors is their away form, as they were beaten in four of their last seven away league fixtures.
This game could go high on the goals, and our Sheffield United vs Oxford United prediction is more than 2.5 goals.
