Promotion-chasing Southampton and relegation-threatened Oxford United are set to face off next in the Championship. Both sides have lately picked up good form, landing Southampton in the top six and Oxford 22nd with eight matches remaining. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Southampton are pushing for a straight return to the Premier League, and so far, that’s on course. A 1-0 win against Norwich saw the Saints break into the top six, hitting 60 points after recording their 16th league win.
They are now undefeated in their last 13 matches across all competitions, and at home in the last six games, they won four.
Oxford United took advantage of Southampton’s poor start to the season, winning 2-1 in the reverse fixture. They feel with their recent form, they can complete a league double over the Saints. The U’s carry into this game a four-match unbeaten run.
Their most recent ended in a 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic, stopping them from bagging a fourth straight victory. After suffering 17 defeats, it may seem a little too late for Oxford’s survival push.
However, they are well in it as they go for only their 10th league win of the season. The visitors are just one point away from safety, and a win here could even see them rise three places above.
