Norwich City were held to a 1-1 draw in their last game against Blackburn. Ante Crnac put them ahead in the 90th minute, but they couldn’t escape with the win, conceding six minutes later. They are now unbeaten in six of their last seven games and six of their last eight at home. They sit 11th on the table with 48 points in 35 games, scoring 56 goals and conceding 48. However, Matej Jurasek, Amankwah Forson, Gabriel Forsyth, Liam Gibbs, and Kenny McLean are ruled out of this game due to injuries.
Oxford United
LDLLL
Oxford United suffered a 3-2 loss to Coventry in their last game to extend their winless run to seven games, including losses in their last three. They have seen just one win in their 17 games on the road this season. They sit 18th on the table with 38 points in 35 games, scoring 36 goals and conceding 52. However, Greg Leigh, Ben Nelson, Joe Bennett, Lewis Dobbin, and Tom Bradshaw are ruled out of this game due to injuries.
Possible Starting 11
Norwich City — Angus Gunn, Kellen Fisher, Shane Duffy, José Córdoba, Callum Doyle, Marcelino Núñez, Jakob Sörensen, Anis Ben Slimane, Ante Crnac, Borja Sainz, Josh Sargent.
Oxford United — Jamie Cumming, Peter Kioso, Michal Helik, Ciaron Brown, Elliott Moore, Cameron Brannagan, Alex Matos, Przemyslaw Placheta, Tyler Goodrham, Mark Harris, Ole Romeny.
Interesting Facts
- Norwich are unbeaten in six of their last seven matches;
- Oxford United are winless in 16 of their 17 games on the road this season;
- Oxford United are winless in the last seven games;
- Norwich have the second-best offense in the league after league leaders Leeds United.
Norwich might be outside of the playoff spot, but they remain the second-best attacking team in the Championship with 56 goals scored already. So no doubt they will get the goals in this game, and I believe they will win the clash because Oxford United have only secured a win on the road this season, and it is highly risky to bet on them considering their current form. However, I expect them to find a consolation goal. Although they failed to score in four of their last five games, they scored in five of their last six games against Norwich City.
Our prediction for this match is for both teams to score, for odds of 1.93 at Betway.
Our second prediction is to see more than three goals for odds of 1.91 at Bet365.
Our third prediction is for Noreich to win for odds of 1.60 at 1xbet.
