Oxford United vs Plymouth prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 29, 2024
One of the matches of the 24th round of the Championship will be played on Sunday at the Kassam Stadium, where Oxford United will host Plymouth. Here's a prediction for the number of goals in this encounter, with strong chances of success.
Match preview
Last season was a successful one for the U's, as they performed well in League One and earned a playoff spot. In the decisive match at Wembley, the team secured a 2-0 victory over Bolton, earning promotion to the Championship. However, Oxford United has had a rough start in the Championship and currently sits in 20th place in the table.
Heading into the match against Plymouth, the U's come off a 3-2 home win over Cardiff City. This victory ended a three-match winless streak in the league (two losses and one draw). In 12 home games, Oxford has registered five wins and three losses.
Plymouth is having a tough season and is currently bottom of the table. The team has been inconsistent, particularly away from home, where they are yet to win in this campaign.
In the last round, the Pilgrims suffered a heavy 0-4 loss in their away game against Coventry. This result extended their winless streak to eight matches, with five defeats in that span.
