The Value Lies With Under 2.5

There’s a strong argument to go with Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market. Survival hopefuls Oxford and Sunderland might not reach this total and we’re a fan of the odds of 1.67 that are available for this prediction.

Teams’ Last Clash Saw 2-0 Sunderland Win

Oxford United played out a 1-1 draw in their last game. This was away from home at Cardiff City Stadium against Cardiff City. The U's ended up with just 39% possession and one shot on target, with Cameron Brannagan registering the goal.

Sunderland have suffered three straight defeats, recently being beaten at home by Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at Stadium of Light. The Wearside club recorded 47% possession and managed two shots on goal.

Sunderland have triumphed in the last two encounters against Oxford. A 2-0 home victory at Stadium of Light followed a 2-1 away win at Kassam Stadium. The previous 9 H2H games have featured five Sunderland victories and four draws.

  • The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 15 of the last 20 Oxford games.
  • The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 3 Oxford games.

Oxford vs Sunderland Prediction

We don’t anticipate that the sides can combine to reach the three-goal mark and that means wagering Under 2.5 Goals. The odds of 1.67 look easy to back when it comes to a low-scoring Championship encounter.

If you want to place an Under 2.5 Goals bet at larger odds, then there’s the chance to combine this selection with BTTS No. A Total Goals & Both Teams to Score wager is a popular option.

Under 2.5 Probability

The latest betting odds imply that our pick has a 60% prospect of winning. After careful examination, our experts have this probability close to 70%. This is why we can recommend this bet.
