Bristol Rovers - Oxford United predictions and free betting tips [27/01/2024]

On the 27th of January in League 1, England's third-tier division, Bristol Rovers will play against Oxford United at the Memorial stadium. Let's take a look at the teams' current form and try to decide where to place our bet to increase our bankroll. Let's get started.

Bristol Rovers

The squad constantly travels between League 1 and League 2. Three seasons ago they took the last place in the third division of England and fell to the lower division, where a year later they climbed to the 3rd place. However, they finished last season in League 1 in 17th place, and now they are in 13th position.

In the 23rd tour, the squad won against Charlton (2:1). Then they lost to Wycombe with a score (2:3). After that, the team lost to Barnsley (1:2). In the following match, the Pirates suffered a loss from Blackpool with a score (1:2). And in the last round, the lads lost for the 4th time in a row, this time to Exeter, with a minimal score.

Oxford United

In the old days, the team was quite good, but then there was a decline, and only in the early 21st century they returned to League 2. After 8 seasons, they were promoted and now they are having their another season in League 1. They were able to avoid relegation last season, finishing in 19th place.

Oxford is currently 6th in the league table. In the 23rd tour, they won against Cambridge with a score (2:1). After that, the team lost to Derby County (2:3). Then the lads away beat Charlton (2:1). In the next game they won against Carlisle with a score (3:1). But in the last round, Oxford lost to Barnsley (0:1).

Head-to-Head

The last head-to-head encounter between Bristol and Oxford was on the 7th of October 2023. That match ended with a home win for Oxford with a score (2:1).

Prediction

The Pirates' recent form is very disappointing, given the 4 losses in a row making Oxford the clear favourite even on the road. At the same time, Oxford only loses to the favourites, comfortably taking 3 points against less strong teams.

Total Prediction

I believe in this confrontation the teams could show productive football, therefore I suggest a TO 2.5 wager.
