Oxford vs Bristol Rovers Free Betting Tips and Predictions

With little to separate these teams in terms of form, the Oxford vs Bristol odds are very close and below we have tried to give you our best free betting tips.

Over 0.5 Bristol Goals

We believe Bristol will be able to score at least 1 goal in this match, despite their recent struggles in the attack. This belief is supported by the fact that Oxford have now gone 13 consecutive rounds without a clean sheet. Also, Bristol are aggressive on the road and they had been able to score in 11 of their last 13 away matches.

To add another supporting argument for our first Oxford vs Bristol prediction we stress that Oxford’s last clean sheet at home was way back in mid-November. They had failed to record a clean sheet in any of their last 9 home outings.

Over 2.5 Goals

Our second Oxford vs Bristol prediction is that the game will go over 2.5 total goals. Oxford had seen 6 of their last 8 home games going over 2.5 goals. Also, 6 of Bristol’s last 9 away matches had at least 3 goals scored in them.

BTTS

To add to our first 2 suggestions we also link the final Oxford vs Bristol prediction to the goals market. With Oxford without a clean sheet in the last 13 rounds and Bristol able to keep just 1 away clean sheet all season we think this game has BTTS written all over it. This tip is also supported by the fact that all of the last 3 H2H duels had seen both teams scoring.

Oxford vs Bristol Rovers Lineups and Other News

Oxford United

Oxford are without a win in the last 8 rounds and playing some very poor football lately. Defending had been suspect for months, while forward actions had been decent only at home.

Important winger Bodin is doubtful, but this is the only serious injury concern. Browne is likely to be picked from the off again in this game after making his comeback from injury off the bench in the last round.

Bristol Rovers

Bristol enter this match on the back of earning a single point from their last 6 league games. The main reason for the struggles is the fact that only 2 goals were scored in those 6 games.

Not many changes to the lineup are likely with Rovers seriously restricted in terms of numbers. Coburn should start up front, despite struggling for form lately. Finlay is back after a lengthy ban and should start. Winger Loft remains suspended, though. Also, they are still missing a handful of injured players. Among them key centre-back Gibson, main left-back Anderton and main anchor-man Rossiter. From those Gibson is closest to return and he could be considered at least for the bench.
