Bristol City vs Oxford Prediction
Bristol City Form
A draw was the best Bristol City could muster in their previous three games. They claimed a 1-1 draw against Coventry, before getting trounced 3-0 against Derby. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Blackburn ran out 3-0 winners. Bristol City won four of their past six matches on home soil in the Championship, where they also drew twice and went undefeated. They scored 13 goals and conceded five times.
Bristol City go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in an international competition.
Oxford Form
Oxford won twice in their last three matches, but began by losing 1-0 against Coventry, before beating Preston 3-1. Another win followed, this time by 1-0 against Stoke. Oxford are winless in their last six away games in the Championship, in which they drew zero and lost two. They conceded five goals while scoring three themselves.
Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario Bristol City hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.
Bristol City need the support of their home crowd at Ashton Gate after suffering defeat twice in recent matches. We fancy them to rise to the occasion and claim a win.
Bristol City have so far been able to win just once after five Championship games played, in stead showing off two draws and two defeats. Oxford are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording three wins and two defeats in the Championship.
