Oxford United - Reading predictions and free betting tips [03/02/2024]

On February 3 in League 1, England's third strongest division, at the "Kassam" stadium, "Reading" will play against "Oxford United". Let's take a look at the form of the teams right now and try to make a decision on what bet to make to increase our bank. Let's get going.

"Oxford United"

In the olden days, the team was very good, but then there was a decline and only at the beginning of the 21st century they returned to League 2. After 8 seasons they got promoted and are now playing their another season in League 1. Last season they managed to avoid relegation, finishing 19th.

Currently, "Oxford" is 6th in the league table. In the 25th round, the boys beat "Charlton" (2:1) away. In the next game, they beat "Carlisle" scoring (3:1). After this, "Oxford" lost to "Barnsley" (0:1). Then they were defeated by "Bristol Rovers" with the score (1:3). And in their last match, they drew with "Portsmouth" (2:2).

"Reading"

The team hasn't been in League 1 for a long time, but last season they finally got relegated from the Championship, finishing 23rd in the league table. The team had a rough start to the season, due to financial problems the club was docked 4 points, so they are now in 21st place.

In the 24th round, the boys drew with "Cheltenham" (2:2). In the next match, they beat "Exeter City" with the score (3:2). The team then suffered a narrow defeat to "Wigan". After this, they surprisingly beat "Derby County" by the minimal score. In the last round, they drew with "Leyton Orient" (1:1).

Head to Head

The last head-to-head match between "Reading" and "Oxford" was on December 12, 2023. That meeting ended in a draw (1:1).

Prediction

"Oxford" looks much better than their opponent this season. Even though "Reading" has been able to handle their opponents quite well lately, I don't think they will manage to do it this time. They haven't been winning away for a long time, and "Oxford" plays well at home. I suggest betting on the host's victory.

Total Prediction

I think in this confrontation the teams will not be able to show high-scoring football, so I suggest betting on under 2.5.
