Oxford have not been in the second strongest division of England for over 20 years, but now they are in the Championship. The main task is to avoid relegation and the team is successfully coping with it – the advantage over the relegation zone is two points.
Hull City are only one point ahead of their opponents and are less and less likely to claim a place in the top-6. During the summer transfer window, the Tigers suffered significant losses, which could not be compensated. This has affected the club’s prospects and its chances of returning to the Premier League.
Less than three goals have been scored in four of Oxford’s last five matches and four for Hull City. Between the teams should play for results – they have not won for a long time. The team that scores first will probably sit back and try to keep the winning result.
