LiontipsOxford United vs Hull City. Championship match prediction and betting tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Oxford United had a great run in League One last season. They finished fifth in the championship and then managed to win the playoffs, beating Peterborough United (1:0 and 1:1) and Bolton (1:0). For a newcomer, the hosts don't look too bad in the Championship. Before the start of the season, many considered the club to be a clear underdog, but United are trying not to give in to anyone and are still out of the relegation zone, sitting in 19th place. After a series of five draws in a row, Des Buckingham men still suffered two defeats - from Sunderland (0:2) and Swansea (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts will have to cope without a number of injured players, with Joe Bennett, Cameron Brannagan, Siriki Dembele, Kyle Edwards, Matt Phillips and Przemyslaw Placheta currently in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not won for eight matches in a row.
- At home, the club has suffered only one defeat in its last eight matches
Probable lineup : Cumming - Brown, Nelson, Moore, Quioso - McEachran - Goodram, Sibley, Rodriguez, Dale - Harris
Current form
Hull City finished just outside the playoffs last season, finishing seventh. The Tigers were just three points short of a place in the Premier League. The team is currently far from achieving that feat, sitting in 15th place, but it worth noting that the Championship table is tight, so any win could lift them up several positions. Unfortunately, it extremely hard for the visitors to win. They've only managed to draw in their last three games. Tim Walter side drew with Burnley (1-1), Derby County (1-1) and Portsmouth (1-1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visiting team will miss the upcoming match: Steven Alzate, Harvey Cartwright, Timothy Lo-Tutala, Ryan Longman, Marvin Mehlem, Liam Millar, Karl Rushworth, Andy Smith.
Interesting trends for betting
- The visitors have not won for five rounds
- The club have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight Championship matches
Probable lineup : Pandur - Drameh, Hughes, Jones, Coyle - Puerta, Simons - Kamara, Slater, Belloumi - Joao Pedro

1.62Tip and bets
The hosts have a rather weak squad by Championship standards, but the club still manages to pick up points thanks to dedication. The team can fight off anyone at home and only suffered its first defeat at home in the last round. We think that now Oxford United will be able to please the fans in a match with Hull, who have not beaten anyone for a long time.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Oxford United at 2.03
Bet on total
It is difficult for the teams to show themselves in attack due to a weak squad by league standards and a huge number of injuries. Most likely, in a face-to-face match, the opponents will focus on defense and the spectators will not see many goals. We suggest betting on the total under.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.90
Bet on corners
It is difficult to expect sparkling football in this match, after all, the teams are clearly not the most skilled in the Championship. We assume that the opponents will not be able to earn many corners.
Forecast - total under 9.5 corners with odds of 2.30
