Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
------------------------------------
Norwich City will aim to continue their push for the playoffs as they host Oxford United at Carrow Road. Norwich currently sits in 11th place in the Championship, four points shy of the playoff spots, while Oxford is in 18th, just above the relegation zone.
Recent form has been mixed for Norwich, with one win, three draws, and one loss in their last five matches. Their most recent game saw a 4-2 victory over Stoke City, but they were denied all three points in their last away match against Blackburn, where they conceded an equalizer in stoppage time.
Norwich has been strong offensively, ranking as the second-highest scorers in the Championship, with 56 goals in 35 games, including 41 goals in 17 home matches. However, they will be looking for a more solid defensive performance, having failed to secure a clean sheet at home since October.
Oxford United, on the other hand, has struggled recently, failing to win any of their last seven matches, including losses in four of their last five games. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-2 defeat to Coventry City, despite coming from behind twice.
Oxford has had a tough time away from home, winning just one of their 17 league matches on the road this season, with nine games where they failed to score. However, they did manage to beat Norwich 2-0 in August and will be hoping to secure a rare league double over them.
The upcoming match presents a crucial opportunity for both teams, with Norwich aiming to close the gap to the playoffs, while Oxford will be fighting to avoid further slipping down the table.
Starting XI
Norwich City (4-3-3): Gunn; Fisher, Duffy, Doyle Chrisene; Nunez, Sorensen, Slimane; Crnac, Sainz, Sargent.
Oxford United (4-2-3-1): Cumming; Kioso, Helik, Brown, Moore; Brannagan, Matos; Placheta, Goodrham, Harris; Romeny.
