Prediction :
Oxford United will need to play well if they want to score against Sheffield Wednesday, who will probably score at least once to win. We, therefore, expect Sheffield Wednesday to prevail at halftime by a score of 0-1. a near miss.
Head to Head :
When we look at their previous head-to-head matches, which date back to December 22, 1990, we find that Oxford United has won three of them, Sheffield Wednesday has won one, and there have been two draws. During those matches, they combined to score 15 goals, nine for the U’s and six for the Owls.
That amounts to 2.5 goals scored on average per game. The previous league matchup between these two teams was on League One match day 22, which took place on December 17, 2022. The outcome was Sheffield Wednesday 0-0 Oxford United.
Team news :
Stephan Negru, a young defender who had recently been dealing with an injury to his ankle, returned to Oxford’s matchday squad for their weekend game against Peterborough. He was named as one of the substitutes.
Josh Murphy should keep his position on the right flank because Manning won’t see any reason to make any changes after securing a very respectable draw away from Posh. Under Moore’s direction, Sheffield Wednesday,
on the other hand, is a similarly settled unit; the former West Bromwich Albion manager is unlikely to be alarmed by his team’s recent lack of victories. Mallik Wilks may need to be patient from the bench because Lee Gregory and Michael Smith, who scored the opening goal against Lincoln on Saturday, remain a highly potent offensive duo.
