Our prediction for the match Burnley vs Oxford United
“The Clarets”, being under the leadership of Kompany, were able to win the Championship immediately after falling to it in 2023. Still, the team turned out to be uncompetitive at the Premier League level, and immediately fell to a lower division again. Vincent also went to coach Bayern in the summer. “The Yellows” were only fifth in the League One. After that, they managed to win the play-offs and rise to the Championship.
The newcomer showed extremely mediocre results at a more difficult level. And Rowett became the manager at the end of December there. Being under the rule of this specialist, the club quickly flew out of the cup, losing to Exeter. On the other hand, the team has seriously transformed in the Championship, mostly winning and quickly rising to the middle of the table! It added another point in the meeting with Bristol City in the previous round – everything ended with a 1-1 draw. The recent participant of the Premier League, having invited Scott Parker to the coaching position, almost never loses. Still, there are many draws, and this prevents the team from leading alone – 4 teams have approximately equal chances for 1st-2nd place. For instance, the club managed to get by without goals in the game against Portsmouth.
The hosts defend superbly: they concede 0.3 goals per round. At the same time, their attacking indicators are modest: they do not rise higher than 1.2 goals. The guests, who have improved the performance under the leadership of the new manager, have got a negative ratio so far – 1.13/1.47.
