Bristol City have made an impressive start to their campaign, collecting 11 points from their first five games to sit in third place. Gerhard Struber’s men cruised to a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday last time out, with goals from Emil Riis Jacobsen and Anis Mehmeti adding to an early own goal.
The Robins are unbeaten at Ashton Gate since February in regular league play and look well positioned to push for another playoff run. Back-to-back wins have restored confidence, and they enter this clash as firm favorites.
Betting On Oxford United
- 1XBet Spread: +1.0
- 1XBet Moneyline: 5.75
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5
Oxford have found life tough since promotion and remain winless after five matches. They earned a 2-2 draw with Leicester City last weekend but wasted the chance to secure victory against a side reduced to ten men.
With only two points collected, the Yellows sit 22nd in the standings. They have lost both of their away games this season and now face one of the Championship’s most in-form home sides.
MatchPlug Prediction For Bristol City vs Oxford United
Bristol City’s form at Ashton Gate and Oxford’s early struggles point to a straightforward outcome. The Robins should dominate possession and chances, while Oxford’s away woes look set to continue.
Final Prediction: Bristol City
