Bristol City vs Oxford United Prediction and Betting Tips

Bristol City will host Oxford United at Ashton Gate on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have enjoyed a fine start to their league campaign and sit third in the table with 11 points from an obtainable 15 as they target consecutive appearances in the promotion playoffs.

They coasted to a 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in their last match, profiting from an own goal to take the lead six minutes in before Emil Riis Jacobsen and Anis Mehmeti got on the scoresheet later in the first half to seal the points for Gerhard Struber's side.

Oxford United, meanwhile, have failed to come alive in the second tier this season and look set for another tussle for survival. They played out a 2-2 draw with 10-man Leicester City in their game at the weekend, taking the lead twice and losing on both occasions as they failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage.

The visitors sit 22nd in the league table with just two points and will be desperate to pick up their first league win of the campaign soon.
