Oxford vs Millwall Prediction and Betting Tips | 30th November, 2024

Oxford take on Millwall in the 18th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two sides are perched in opposite halves of the standings.

Des Buckingham's Oxford are coming off a 3-0 midweek defeat at Sheffield United. Callum O'Hare opened the scoring inside 10 minutes before Tyrese Campbell doubled Sheffield's advantage 16 minutes later.

With Oxford unable to respond, the hosts struck for a third time through Jesurun Rak-Sakyi 13 minutes into the second period to end the game as a contest. Following their third straight defeat, the U's are 18th in the standings, with 17 points from as many games, winning four.

Meanwhile, Neil Harris' Millwall are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Sunderland in their previous Championship outing after their midweek game at Portsmouth was postponed due to a power cut at Fratton Park.

Aaron Connoly put Sunderland ahead after 10 minutes, and it looked like the visitors would take all three points before Millwall struck a 93d-minute equalizer through Femi Azeez. Following their second straight stalemate, the Lions are ninth in the points table with 24 points from 16 games, winning six.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Oxford-Millwall Championship clash at Kassam Stadium.

Oxford vs Millwall prediction

Both sides have had underwhelming campaigns, especially Oxford, who have fallen off the pace after a bright start to their first Championship campaign in more than two decades.

The U's trail Millwall in their head-to-head but have fared well in the fixture recently. However, considering their recent league form - one win in 12 games, losing six - the visitors will fancy their chances of a win. Moreover, Millwall have won their last four league games at Oxford.

The Lions are unbeaten in eight league outings - winning four - and should return to the win column following successive stalemates.

Prediction: Oxford 0-2 Millwall
