Oxford United Derby County betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 20^th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 1 win, 5 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Charlton Athletic, by (1‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Southampton, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 12 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 4 away league matches Derby has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 5 points out of 12 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 9 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 9 matches for the Championship, and have never reached half‑time in front. In 9 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Derby come into this fixture on the back of a 1–1 home draw against Southampton. Unlike their opponents this round, the visitors are expected to set up in a traditional 4-3-3 formation, with Andreas Weimann, Patrick Agyemang and Bobby Clark forming the attacking trio. Playing away from home, Derby are likely to adopt a more cautious approach, aiming to stay compact and avoid leaving gaps at the back. Manager John Eustace is not expected to have Corey Blackett-Taylor, Liam Thompson, Owen Beck, Curtis Nelson or Sondre Langas available, as all remain sidelined through injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Jacob Widell Zetterström, Max Johnston, Craig Forsyth, Dion Sanderson, Matt Clarke, David Ozoh, Andreas Weimann, Ebou Adams , Carlton Morris, Ben Brereton Díaz, Rhian Brewster.
Coach: J. Eustace.
