The upcoming match between Sheffield United and Oxford United is expected to be an exciting one. Sheffield United has a good chance of taking home a three-point result, especially considering their recent performances. The team has been on a positive run in their last 5 games, which gives them some momentum going into this match. Additionally, Sheffield United has a higher average of goals scored per game this season compared to Oxford United.
On the other hand, Oxford United has struggled to score goals, especially when playing away from home. This could be a major disadvantage for them in this match, especially against a strong defensive team like Sheffield United. The fact that Oxford United typically does not have the support of their home crowd adds to their vulnerability on the road. Furthermore, their record against Sheffield United in previous encounters has not been favorable, with the home team coming out on top in the last two meetings.
Despite their lower goal-scoring average, Oxford United's coach Des Buckingham will have to come up with a solid strategy to break down Sheffield United's defense. It will be a tough task for them, as Sheffield United's coach Chris Wilder has a strong team that has been performing well in recent weeks. The home team's ability to consistently find the back of the net could prove to be decisive in this match.
