Hull City vs Oxford United Prediction and Betting Tips

Hull City will host Oxford United at the MKM Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured a slow start to their season and will be looking to pick up their first win of the campaign when they return to home turf this weekend.

They played out a goalless draw with Coventry City in their league opener last weekend before bottling a two-goal lead in their 3-3 draw with Wrexham and losing the ensuing penalty shootout in the EFL Cup on Tuesday.

Oxford United, meanwhile, hosted Portsmouth at the Kassam Stadium in their Championship opener last weekend and were beaten 1-0 despite creating multiple chances to get on the scoresheet themselves. However, they returned to winning ways in the domestic cup during the week, beating League Two side Colchester United 1-0 via a first-half stunner from Tyler Goodrham.

The visitors, who sit 20th in the table, will hit the road for the first time this season on Sunday and will be hopeful of a positive outcome.
