Watford vs Oxford Utd Prediction & Betting Tips (8 November)

For many campaigns since its demotion from the Premier League, Watford did not play the leading roles in the championship but this season, that seems to be over with a good 5th position at the start of this day and therefore, a dream opportunity to shake up the ranking in case of victory this evening. At home, the Hornets seem untenable since they have still not conceded a single defeat for a record of 6 wins and 1 draw. The last to have suffered the lightning of the locals are the Sunderland Black Cats, candidates for the rise 2-1, Middlesbrough 2-1 and Blackburn 1-0. In the wake of the success against Rovers, Watford went to demolish Sheffield Wed on the road, as part of the previous day 2-6. Opposite, Oxford will evolve throughout the season with a promoted label and we feel good that there is a glaring difference in level between League One and the Championship. With only three small victories, Oxford still manages to be outside the relegation zone, but with two points ahead of Plymouth, who have 12 points.

The current series is disastrous for the visitors who have not won since September 14, i.e. 8 posters for a record of three defeats and five draws. Note that last weekend, "The Us" suffered a second successive defeat in the league when they received Swansea 1-2 after their defeat at Sunderland 2-0.

Central defender Porteus will be missing this evening following an accumulation of yellow cards (suspended). In addition, the important Dele-Bashiru (2 goals in 9 appearances) is still recovering while Ngakia and rookie Angelo Ogbonna (arrived from West Ham this summer) are injured and OUT this evening. Quadrupled in the 2-6 success in Sheffield, Bayo (5 goals in the league this season) absolutely did not laugh in front of the cage. The latter is used to scoring goals in major championships such as in Toulouse, notably during the 2020-21 season with 10 goals or even 11 goals in Charleroi during the 2021-22 season. Last year, he took 6 pawns for 3 cakes.

This is far from being the only threat in this squad since Kayembe (5 goals) will be present as will Baah and Andrews (2 goals each in the championship). At Oxford, there are defections to list including defender Joe Bennett (19 appearances in League One last year), midfielder Brannagan (13 goals, 10 assists last year in D3), the important Siriki Dembele (played by AJ Auxerre), without forgetting Edwards (rotation), Matt Phillips (less important), and Placheta (long absent), all on the floor (injured). On a personal level, Welsh international Harris (4 goals) and English hopeful international Scarlett (3 goals) are the only ones to come out of the woods.
