Oxford United vs Hull City Prediction: Oxford are on eight game winless run

Oxford United will welcome Hull City at The Kassam Stadium in Game Week 14 of the English Championship. Oxford are on eight game winless run. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Since gaining promotion to the Championship last season through the League One playoffs, Oxford United have found themselves at 19th in the English second tier after garnering 14 points from their first 13 matches of the season. The U's face Hull on Tuesday after successive losses to Sunderland and Swansea City.

Des Buckingham's side had drawn a blank in the Championship since mid-September in their last eight games but five of them were draws. Oxford United, by contrast, had shown plenty of resilience at home in this campaign with three victories, three draws, and one loss from seven, leaving them eighth on the home table with 12 points.

They hadn't managed to win against Hull in the last three matches, but that was after losing 2-0 in their previous meeting in March 2021, which occurred during League One.

Hull ended the last season just a little bit short of a playoff finish with seventh position in the Championship. But they have hardly started this season well so far by gaining just 15 points out of 13 games played. Hull City sits at the 15th place right now, but they are close to their next game as they are at three points. A defeat in the next game will drop them to the table. The latest game was a 1-1 draw against Portsmouth, which forms a trend of draws against Burnley, Derby County, and Portsmouth in their last games.

Hull's last victory at Championship came in the early days of October when they won 3-1 against Queens Park Rangers. Since then, they could only muster three points from five games that are hard to go through in this season. Hull won two and drew two out of their six away games played this season while losing the other two. The team could only score eight away goals this season.

Both teams have the same power and the current league positions are also showing them to be on a par with each other. So, we can anticipate that the match on Tuesday night will be a hard-fought one. While Oxford United has the benefit of playing at home, Hull can win some points out of this game.
