Game Prediction
On Tuesday, football will be actively played in England. The giants will begin the matches of the last, 6th round of the Champions League. Still, the confrontations will not be limited to this, there will be the national cup games, and Reading and Oxford United will compete with each other in the 13th round of the League One. The readers of the website have access to the prediction for this battle on December 12, 2023.
Reading is failing more and more
“The Biscuitmen” do not have any merits in their one and a half century history. Still, they were promoted to the Premier League several times in the first decade of the current century. The club has settled in the Championship since 2013 and, although there were chances of the growth, it increasingly faced financial problems. They eventually led, amid fines, to the relegation to the League One. And the atmosphere has not improved; this affects the results, which are far from being good: almost 2/3 of the matches are lost. However, November ended with the victories over Wycombe and Carlisle United. Speaking about the home battle against Barnsley, the team lost quite heavily – 1-3.
Oxford United is fighting for promotion
“The U’s” managed to take the League Cup in 1986. And the team spent several years in the English top division. Still, it appeared in the National Conference, which is the fifth level of local football, in 2006. And the club is slowly gaining ground. Speaking about the previous season, there was only 19th place in the League One. This time, it, being under the leadership of the new manager, Des Buckingham (a native of the city and a graduate of the club, who worked in New Zealand, Australia, and moved here from Mumbai City) is in the group of leaders, and may leave the favourites without the access to the Championship. On the other hand, it is reasonable to mention a “cold shower” of the previous round in the battle against Peterborough – the team conceded 3 unanswered goals on the away field.
Previous head-to-head matches
“The Biscuitmen” won all 5 previous head-to-head matches. Still, they occurred in 2000-2004.
