Watford will host Oxford United in Round 9 of the Championship, and with their history of low-scoring meetings, punters will be scratching their heads for the sharp pick here. See our best pick in this Watford vs Oxford United match prediction.
In their only three meetings in recent times, no game has featured more than two goals, and the last two were 1-0 games with both sides winning one game each. However, we’ve found a bet that won in all three meetings and in several of their recent games. The pick in question is Oxford United making at least four corner kicks.
As we mentioned, The U's made at least three corner kicks in all three of the meetings. Now, for their recent games, we found that Oxford has made 4+ corner kicks in three of their last six games. Away from home, Oxford has also won this game in two of its last four games. Now this trend is even more prominent with The Hornets.
Of Watford’s last seven games, they allowed at least 4+ corner kicks to their opponents in six games. Then, for home games only, Watford has conceded over 3.5 corner kicks in all four that they’ve played this season. Watford just played Portsmouth in a 2-2 draw, and while there weren’t many corners, their opponent still managed four. In contrast, Oxford managed only one in their 0-0 draw vs QPR, but that was an outlier.

Our Watford vs Oxford United Prediction
Only three points separate The Hornets and The U's, so we can expect both teams to go all out for a win here. But even more so from Oxford, who just sit one place above the relegation zone by goal difference. If Oxford goes for anything other than a win in this game, then they’ll automatically fall into the relegation zone if Blackburn or Sheffield Wednesday pick up a single point.
We’ve already seen this bet win in all of their three recent meetings, and in six of Watford’s last seven games this season. Hence, our Watford vs Oxford United prediction is Oxford Over 3.5 Corner Kicks.
