Our Three Predictions Hull City vs Oxford United

        • Prediction 1 – Both Sides To Score – 21/20
        • Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 11/10
        • Prediction 3 – Match To End In A Draw – 5/2

First Prediction For Hull City vs Oxford United – Both Sides To Score – 21/20

With this match potentially being where one of these sides can seal safety as they edge closer to that mythical ’40 point’ mark, both teams will try and get a win in this game. Whilst goals have been hard to come by, these two sides’ defences have been opened up in recent games, with Oxford conceding at least twice in three of their last five games. Hull have been more reinforced, only conceding three times in their last five, but have been volatile at home, most prominently against Leeds United and also in losses against Queens Park Rangers and Stoke City. 404: ctaGeoButton, cfRayID a0d9b8684b0efad4, short: undefined, product: SB, country: US, language: en, currency: undefined

Second Prediction For Hull City vs Oxford United – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 10/11

Whilst the sending off of Joao Pedro at the weekend against Bristol City will put a big dent in Hull City’s already depleted attacking output, The Tigers will still have some good options to score against a defence that have conceded an average of 1.47 goals per game. Joe Gelhardt stepped up against Plymouth Argyle for his second goal of the season in Orange and Black, as did Abu Kamara who provided the assist for Pedro against Bristol. United can rely on top scorer Mark Harris, and January signing Ole Romeny got off the mark in their loss to Coventry City two matches ago. 404: ctaGeoButton, cfRayID a0d9b8684b0efad4, short: undefined, product: SB, country: US, language: en, currency: undefined

Third Prediction For Hull City vs Oxford United – Match To End In A Draw – 5/2

There is very little to separate these sides and the suspension of Joao Pedro may edge this game into a stalemate. Oxford are now eight games without a win and while this is certainly their best chance to change their fortunes around, Gary Rowett’s side have struggled against their relegation rivals such as Portsmouth and Derby County. In 2025, they have won once against a bottom-eight side when they beat Luton Town. Hull have picked up strong wins against Plymouth and Sunderland and if there were to be a winner, it would be them, but their attacking crisis means they may lose some impetus to seal three points.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

Hull City enter the game in somewhat of a strong patch with eight points in their last five games and have gained a decisive edge in their hopes for survival. They enter the midweek fixtures five points clear and have gained the most points across their last five than any other side in the bottom seven. Their last game against Bristol City in a score draw, with the headlines going to Joao Pedro for a crazy 60 seconds which saw him take the lead for The Tigers before being sent off for a reckless challenge. Ruben Selles’ side couldn’t hold on to their lead and Anis Mehmeti found an equaliser from the spot. Former Reading boss Selles has a 32% win rate since taking charge of the club in December. Oxford United will want to end their eight-game winless run when they travel to East Yorkshire. They put an end to their three-game losing streak on the weekend with a draw against Norwich City, with Mark Harris cancelling out Josh Sargent’s strike. More positive news for Gary Rowett’s side came with the return of defender Elliott Moore, playing his second straight 90 minutes for the first time since December. The U’s last tasted victory in late January when they beat Luton Town. Oxford sit seven points clear of Derby County heading into the weekend’s action, and are likely to remain there barring defeat to Hull. These two sides have played four times in recent history, with Oxford having an edge over Hull with two wins to one. The U’s won the reverse fixture this season, when defender Hidde ter Avest claimed the crucial goal at the Kassam Stadium.
