West Bromwich Albion vs Oxford United: Prediction, Lineups & Odds (08/11/25)

West Bromwich Albion welcome Oxford United to the Hawthorns on Saturday as both teams look to climb the Championship table.

Our Three Predictions For West Bromwich Albion vs Oxford United

• First Prediction: West Bromwich Albion To Win – 3/4
• Second Prediction: Both Teams To Score – No – 3/4
• Third Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals – 4/6

First Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Oxford United – West Bromwich Albion To Win – 3/4

West Brom enjoyed an excellent start to the season, prompting early talk of a potential play-off push. However, they have capitulated in recent weeks and have slipped into the bottom half of the table.

The Baggies have embarked on an unwanted 4-game winless streak, a run which also includes 3 defeats. The most recent of these came in a 1-0 reverse at Charlton Athletic on Tuesday night.

It’s worth considering that all 3 of their recent losses have come away from home, whilst their 1 outing at The Hawthorns saw them draw 0-0 against Sheffield Wednesday. They have lost just once at home all season and this seems the perfect opportunity to kick start their campaign.

Interestingly, Oxford won their last away outing, although this did come against basement side Sheffield Wednesday. They’ve picked up 1 point from their last 2 games, both of which came at the Kassam Stadium.

The U’s lie just above the relegation places but could scrape a point, but the smart money is on the home side.

Second Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Oxford United – Both Teams To Score – No – 3/4

Part of West Brom’s recent woes is the fact that goals have dried up. They’ve failed to score in their last 3 games, having suffered 2 1-0 defeats and a 0-0 draw.

As a result of this, just 43% of the Baggies’ league fixtures to date have seen both teams score. This does increase to 50% at The Hawthorns though.

Oxford have failed to score in 2 of their last 4 games, whilst conceding in all of them. They do rank slightly higher than their opponents in this market but Ryan Mason’s side are tough to break down, despite their lowly position.

Third Prediction For West Bromwich Albion vs Oxford United – Under 2.5 Goals – 4/6

Only Charlton Athletic have been involved in more games than West Brom that have produced under 3 goals, and it’s difficult to make a case for this one being a goal fest. Just 5 of their 14 Championship outings have gone over this marker, with the last being a 2-1 defeat against Watford last month.

Oxford do rank much higher in this market though, with only Coventry City and Hull City involved in more high scoring affairs. However, it’s worth noting that this does include Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat against Stoke City, which West Brom are unlikely to replicate.  

Best Odds For West Bromwich Albion vs Oxford United

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

Ryan Mason started life at West Brom in excellent fashion, securing 10 points from his first 4 games in charge. However, he’s overseen just 2 wins since, the last of which came on October 18th with a 2-1 victory over Preston North End.

The Baggies were second in the Championship at the end of August but now sit 15th. Their slide down the table has accelerated in recent weeks thanks to defeats against Watford (2-1), Ipswich Town (1-0) and Charlton Athletic (1-0). They did pick up a point in their last home game, although a 0-0 draw against struggling Sheffield Wednesday was a disappointing result.

Oxford started really poorly and failed to win any of their first 5 outings. Although they have 3 victories to their name now, they still sit 1 place above the relegation zone.

Their last away outing was a successful one, where they beat Sheffield Wednesday (2-1). Two home games in succession offered an excellent chance to build on that, but the U’s left it late to secure a 2-2 draw with Millwall before they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of promotion chasing Stoke City on Tuesday night.

West Brom are by far the most dominant force in this fixture, having won 3 and drawn 1 of the last 4 meetings. The Baggies emerged with a 2-0 victory at The Hawthorns in February, whilst Oxford haven’t beaten the West Midlands-based outfit since 1998.

Overall, the Baggies have won 13 of the previous 25 clashes. Oxford have just 5 wins whilst the pair have played out 7 draws, the last of which came at the Kassam Stadium last season.
